Geographic gradients in a functional trait: variation of body size and size diversity in ground beetle Poecilus cupreus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera, Carabidae)

Geographic gradients in a functional trait: variation of body size and size diversity in ground beetle Poecilus cupreus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera, Carabidae)

The aim of this study was to test the character of body size variation and its diversity in the widespread ground beetle Poecilus cupreus in geographical gradients. Beetles were sampled in 14 regions of Europe and the Asia, and sampling territories differed by 17° in latitude and 121° in longitude....
