Abstract
Abstract. Aim. The study of biological diversity of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) of Zakatala State Natural Reserve is presented. List of species composition of discussed fauna is composed.
Methods. We used traditional methods of collection (hand picking, traps soil, soil traps, light amplification, light traps), material processing and determination.
Results. The paper presents list of species of ground beetles including 165 species belonging to 44 genera and 22 tribes. Main conclusions. Special studies of ground beetle fauna are conducted in Zakatala Reserve for the first time. Ground beetles play a significant role in various ecosystems and have high species diversity, it’s possible to use ground beetles in zoological diagnosis of soils as indicators of soil and vegetation conditions and zoological objects monitoring .
