Post-industrial areas as successional habitats: Long-term changes of functional diversity in beetle communities
Original language description
Understanding succession is one of the main goals in ecosystem ecology, but very few studies regarding arthropods have actually examined this topic in sufficient detail. Missing are studies that examine the long-term trend of primary succession of arthropods in post-industrial habitats and also the functional consequences of primary succession on arthropods. We used epigeic beetles as a model group to investigate the process of primary succession of arthropods on spoil heaps for about 30 years of spontaneous development. For carabid beetles, we calculated indices of functional diversity (functional evenness, functional richness and functional divergence). To quantify functional diversity we used these functional traits: wing morphology, habitat preference and humidity dependence. Our results reveal that the main environmental factor determining the structure of beetle communities is spoil heap age, which is itself correlated with forest cover. The descriptive rank-abundance models that
