论文摘要
本文的目的是提供有关高海拔栖息地中关于地面甲虫（鞘翅目：carabidae）分布的第一个全面合成。具体而言，注意力集中在生活在最常见的与冰有关的山地地面（冰川，杂物覆盖的冰川，冰川前陆和岩石冰川）上的物种组合上，以及生活在这些栖息地中的挑战，威胁和机会，必须面对与正在进行的气候变暖有关的挑战。讨论了与冰有关的高山地貌的建议作用，作为当前的气候避难所，用于冷适应的地面甲虫。最后，需要突出显示当前气候变化如何塑造高海拔专家的分布方式，以描述当前的气候变化是如何突出的。
Aim of this paper is to provide the first comprehensive synthesis about ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) distribution in high altitude habitats. Specifically, the attention is focused on the species assemblages living on the most common ice-related mountain landforms (glaciers, debris-covered glaciers, glacier forelands and rock glaciers) and on the challenges, threats and opportunities carabids living in these habitats have to face in relation to the ongoing climate warming. The suggested role of the ice-related alpine landforms, as present climatic refugia for cold-adapted ground beetles, is discussed. Finally, the needs to develop a large-scale High-alpine Biodiversity Monitoring Program to describe how the current climate change is shaping the distribution of high altitude specialists, is highlighted.
