Pitfall traps (5 in each site) were set in 20 sampling sites in the Transylvania region, Cluj County. This study aimed at clarifying species composition and ecological structure of the ground beetles associated with oilseed rape fields during flowering, ripening and post-harvest, as well as pastures adjacent to them. Overall CWD5 is a distinct but overlooked habitat that may harbor numerous undescribed species or species considered rare. Notes on the biology and photographs of the 59 species represented by 10 or more specimens are given to provide an atlas of common eastern U.S. Species richness was significantly higher in spring than fall. Species richness was significantly higher in secondary forest than primary forest, but more species were significantly associated with primary than secondary forest. Eight species were significantly associated with CWD5, and 40 species were significantly associated with leaf litter. Many more specimens (3471) and species (170) were collected from leaf litter than from CWD5 (790 and 111, respectively) but species accumulation curves showed that species richness was not significantly different between the two habitats. Sixty-six species (31%) were represented by single individuals.
A total of 4261 adult beetle specimens, representing 216 lowest identifiable taxa within 159 genera and 28 families, were collected. Leaf litter and CWD5 were sampled for Coleoptera with a sifting/ Berlese technique at three primary and three secondary forest sites in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, USA, during fall 2006 and spring 2007. The presumption has been that rotten wood is eventually overrun by surrounding soil and litter inhabitants. The popular 3.1 mile Cochran Shoals Trail runs along the west bank of the Chattahoochee River within the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Center.The community within extremely decayed downed coarse woody debris, here referred to as decay class V (CWD5), has never been systematically sampled. Check out the addresses and map on the Cumberland Trails website page for the trail. There are entrances from Cobb Parkway and Akers Mill road. The 6.4 mile West Palisades Trail gives visitors a chance to explore part of the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area. The Battery Atlanta Walking Trail is a mile-and-a-half loop around the attractions at the Battery, including the shops and restaurants, and Truist Park, home stadium of the Atlanta Braves. The eastern portion provides access to the Chattahoochee National Recreation Center trailhead at Paces Mill. The western part of the trail goes by Cumberland Mall, Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center and the Galleria Convention Center. The 4-mile Akers Mill Trail is split into two sections by the Rottenwood Creek Trail. The trailhead for the Bob Callan Trail is at Interstate North Parkway and Cumberland Boulevard, and the trail connects the Cumberland area with the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area. The 4-mile Bob Callan Trail is part of the Rottenwood Creek Trail, which is in turn one of the priority projects on Cobb County’s Greenways and Trails Master Plan. The following trails are described in fuller detail on their website.
