The Importance Of The Island Wetlands For The Carabid Beetles Fauna

The islands of north Dalmatia have been populated for centuries , and natural characteristics of habitats have disappeared. The main cultures are olives, grapevine and pasturage that came into existence by burning macchia and forest vegetation. Whit that kind of managing, the soil from the most of the island was washed into the sea. Large parts of the soil were kept only on the plain parts. These parst were used for agriculture. Near the fields, people often made artificiale puddles, mostly on the places where the water was anyhow retained. We were researching carabid beetles fauna around twp puddles on two islands, Dugi otok and Pag.
