- 20 June 2007
Europe is a highly urbanised continent. The consequent loss and degradation of urban and peri-urban green space could adversely affect ecosystems as well as human health and well-being. The aim of… Expand
Effects of Clear-Cut Harvesting on Boreal Ground-Beetle Assemblages (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in Western Canada
- J. Niemelä, D. Langor, J. Spence
- Biology
- 1 September 1993
We compared pitfall catches from four types of mature lodgepole pine—white spruce forest with those from five age classes of young forest regenerating subsequent to clear-cutting. Ground beetles were… Expand

One of the primary goals of research on bioindicators is to identifyspecies or other taxonomic units that would reliably indicate disturbances inthe environment, and reflect the responses of other… Expand
Invertebrates and Boreal Forest Management
- J. Niemelä
- Geography
- 9 June 1997
Logging has ecological effects on invertebrates in Fennoscandian boreal forest. Especially affected are species associated with micro-habitats of natural old-growth forest, such as coarse woody… Expand
Boreal carabid-beetle (Coleoptera, Carabidae) assemblages along the clear-cut originated succession gradient

- Biology
- Biodiversity & Conservation
- 1 July 2002
We examined the occurrence of carabid beetles along a forest successiongradient in central Finland (forest age classes: 5, 10, 20, 30 and 60years since clear-cutting). Species richness of carabids… Expand
Sampling carabid assemblages with pitfall traps: The madness and the method
- J. Spence, J. Niemelä
- Biology
- 1 June 1994
We describe a litter-washing technique for collecting quantitative samples of ground-beetles (Carabidae), and compare the results with those from liner extraction by Tullgren funnels and pitfall… Expand
Carabid beetles in fragments of coniferous forest
- E. Halme, J. Niemelä
- Biology
- 1993
We compared samples of carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from fifteen forest fragments in a suburban-agricultural setting with catches from a nearby large contiguous forest in Espoo, southern… Expand

Carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) and habitat fragmentation: a review
- J. Niemelä
- Biology
- 19 June 2001
I review the effects of habitat fragmentation on carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) and examine whether the taxon could be used as an indicator of fragmentation. Related to this, I study the… Expand
