3. Carabid beetles in urban greenspace
|
| Kuvaus / Description |
| |
Ground beetles have been used in various urban ecological research questions. The group is well-known, and responds rapidly to various disturbances. We offer various MSc thesis topics related to the response of these beetles to urbanisation, including i) how body size of these beetles vary in various types of urban greenspace, ii) linking contemporary carabid beetle assembly to historical urban landscape configuration, iii) exploring whether some traits (characteristics) of carabid beetle are influenced by urbanisation. The MSc student(s) will join our recently-appointed postdoc and senior members of the group to do fieldwork primarily in Helsinki, but opportunities are also available for fieldwork in Lahti. |
