Abstract:

Daily energy budgets of teneral and adult beetles of a few species of forest carabids have been used to formulate a set of equations allowing for an approximate daily energy budget estimation of the different life-cycle stages and species. Also, relations between the energy flow through a population and both the adult beetle population density and fertility have been expressed in the form of a regression equation that can be used for a rough estimation of energy flow under field conditions.
