Melanistic forms of Calathus melanocephalus L. in Iceland (Coleoptera: Carabidae)
Abstract Calathus melanocephalus is always more or less melanistic in Iceland. Tests were carried out to determine whether the degree of melanism was causally correlated with weather conditions during the immature stages. Samples from the same area collected in different months and years were compar...
