Table 3.
Morphological and habitat-association characteristics of all carabid species found in a given area (“All” columns; % of species), of species classified as threatened according to the IUCN (“IUCN”; categories NT, EN, VU, CR and EW pooled; % of species), and proportion of threatened species of all species within a given category (“% IUCN”). For example, the value “50” for BEL % IUCN >16 mm indicates that in Belgium, of all species with body size >16 mm, 50% are considered threatened. Values for “All“ and “IUCN“ columns make up 100% for each area/country. BEL = Belgium; SWE = Sweden; DEN = Denmark; NOR = Norway; FIN = Finland; Niede = Niedersachsen and Bremen, Germany; Nordr = Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany; Wadde = Wadden Sea area; and Drent = Drenthe, the Netherlands (proposed Red Data list). For the last four areas, only species classified as threatened according to the IUCN are shown. For species and their characteristics data, see text.
