- Аннотация: On the basis of morphometric measurements of 69 Carabidae species, the dispersal power of beetles at different stages of their physiological development was estimated. As uantitative criteria for estimation of dispersal possibilities the indices of potential migrants (Ipm) and conventional load on the wing (Pf) were introduced. Among constantly macropterous arabids, three groups of beetles with different levels of wing muscles development were distinguished. Monomorphic macropterous (MMm) species are characterized by the highest flight activity of both sexes throughout imago stage.Though in many di(poly)morphic carabids (DPM species) a proportion of macropterous females in the populations is large, the wing muscles are better developed in macropterous males, which ensures similar migration possibilities of males and females. In populations of polymorphic macropterous (MPm) and DPM species dispersion is carried out mostly by teneral and immature beetles. The maximum loss in flight ability occurs in mature females with developed eggs in ovaries. Large species of ground beetles produce relatively large eggs, which are deposited in a single batch. After the development of gonads, body mass in these species increases sharply, while wing muscles decline. In small-sized carabid species gonads develop gradually and they lay relatively small eggs continuously. The changes in body mass in these species are usually small. Therefore, the temporal changes in the Pf-index are more pronounced in large- and medium-sized carabid species compared to small-sized beetles. The dispersal power of carabid beetles in different regions is discussed.
