Résumé :
|
This is the concluding part of the monographie study Ground Beetles (Carabidae) of Fennoscandia. The book begins with some basic remarks on the prerequisites (material and methods) of zoogeographical research. The author has stated his outlook on these questions more precisely. The somewhat strongly subjective interpretation, in the words of the author, "has the purpose of provoking opposition and open discussion." The three main sections of the analytic part contain a detailed treatment of three special cases, each of which describes one of the three decisive area-limiting factors: the existence requirements of the animal; the dynamic characteristics of the animal; and the influence of time. The comments in the synthetic part are to a large extent based on the results obtained in the analytic part. By a combination of conclusions drawn from concrete material of fossil records and somewhat abstract deductions from the present-day distribution pattern of the species the author has attempted to answer the question of the biological significance of quaternary glaciations. Lindroth's original English summary is reproduced at the end.
