Abstract
A 10- year study of ground beetles was carried out in the protected area of Kis-Balaton, Western Hungary. Pitfall-traps (15) were placed along a transect and were operating continuously. The traps caught 10,332 individuals, belonging to 127 species. Both the number of species and cumulative number of species increased continuously with no sign of saturation over the 10-year period. The dominant species showed large changes in numbers from year to year. We suggest that fluctuations in abundance, and the year to year changes in the dominant species are caused mainly by the unstable wetland habitat, and only partially by species biology.
