Habitat selection in the Carabidae

Habitat selection in the Carabidae

Insects select their habitats by orienting to habitat cues. Responses to olfactory stimuli associated with soil microorganisms help carabids to locate their habitats, while kinetic responses to microclimatic factors within the habitat serve to maintain favorable body temperatures and to regulate tim...
