According to an index, which was designed to calculate how much a species benefits from organic management, Carabus auratus turned out to benefit most. Some Amara species (A. familiaris, A. similata and A. aenea)as well as Pseudoophonus rufipes and Harpalus affinis also showed high index values. When analysing the traits of the carabids, the habitat preference was the most important variable for the differentiation of organic and conventional management. The stronger the preference for open field, the more the species are supported by organic agriculture. For the promotion of the agricultural carabid fauna it is suggested that weedier and less densely cropped fields be tolerated.10acarabidae10acarabus auratus10ahabitat preference10apitfall trap10awinter cereals1 aDöring, T.1 aKromp, B.  uhttps://insectafgseag.myspecies.info/fr/node/28602222nas a2200205   4500008004100000245012500041210006900166300001000235490000600245520156300251653001401814653001801828653002901846653001601875653001101891653001701902100002001919700002401939856005301963       2004                        eng d00aA practical technique for non-destructive monitoring of soil surface invertebrates for ecological restoration programmes0 apractical technique for nondestructive monitoring of soil surfac  a34-420 v53 aThis study investigates the suitability of using wooden discs as facsimiles for natural fallen logs to non-destructively monitor invertebrates. Wooden discs cut from tree trunks were placed on the ground at five sites and monitored. A diverse range of species was found under the discs including large numbers of some species. On Quail Island, Pine, Macrocarpa, Oak and Beech discs were compared. Beech discs had significantly fewer invertebrates and recognizable taxonomic units than other disc types. Pine discs had significantly more flat- worms than the other three disc types. A comparison of invertebrate numbers when discs were placed directly on soil or grass indicated that larger numbers of individuals and recog- nizable taxonomic units were found under discs placed on bare soil compared with those on grass. Discs with a soil cavity beneath had significantly fewer individuals and recognizable taxonomic units than discs without cavities. Carabids showed considerable seasonal variation, with highest numbers in spring and lowest in winter, and larger numbers were found under discs at moist sites. Skinks over-wintered under discs in drier open sites at Lincoln and Quail Island. Disc condition was assessed after 28 months and showed Macrocarpa had deteriorated the most of the four disc types. Wooden discs are a useful tool for the ecological management of terrestrial invertebrate fauna in restoration programmes for monitoring and considerable potential exists for discs to provide habitat for restoration of terrestrial invertebrate taxa.10acarabidae10ainvertebrates10anon-destructive sampling10arestoration10askinks10awooden discs1 aBowie, Mike, H.1 aFrampton, Chris, M.  uhttps://insectafgseag.myspecies.info/fr/node/183
