  • Description: Use of the diverse Australian carabid fauna in environmental assessment is at present restricted, because of lack of ecological and faunistic information and the difficulties of identifying most taxa. They are not yet a core focal group in monitoring studies. In contrast to groups such as ants, in particular, many carabids are usually captured in only small numbers, and functional groups of Australian Carabidae are poorly defined. Although a few studies have demonstrated the predominance of particular taxa in local assemblages and their responses to changes in land management, the presence of particular taxa and the richness of assemblages is unpredictable because of lack of knowledge of habitat requirements. The general usefulness of carabids as indicators in Australia is not yet proven. Carabidae are one of several groups of epigaeic invertebrates with potential for incorporation into a portfolio of focal groups for environmental assessment, but are still far from being a 'stand alone' group in Australia.
