Research topics and trends over the past decade (2001-2013) of Baltic Coleopterology using text mining methods
Journal Title: Baltic Journal of Coleopterology - Year 2014, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
The Baltic Journal of Coleopterology (BJC) is one of the most important and respected literature sources in the field of coleopterology. Over the past decade (2001-2013), 270 articles in 13 volumes of BJC were published on all aspects of beetles (Coleoptera) including faunistics, taxonomy, biogeography, and ecology. For improving our understanding of coleopterology and in guiding the future of BJC, we reviewed the articles in BJC using bibliometric analysis methods of text mining to summarise the research reported in the scientific literature by a set of indicators. Text mining analysis has shown a clear reduction of journal terms and concepts to two knowledge domains dealing with taxonomy and ecology. In addition, carabid community and distribution subjects were continuously contributed to the journal while relatively new topics such as landscape preference and modeling arose significantly since 2009.

Spatial distribution of epigeic beetles (Insecta, Coleoptera) in the "Yelnia" peat bog
Epigeic beetles were sampled from different habitats in the raised bog Yelnia, the largest in Central Europe. We found 83 species from 5 families. Peat bogs in the temperate zone form isolated and discrete patches of "tu...

The lectotype of Stenus (s.str.) kamtschaticus Motschulsky, 1845 is designated; the name is put in the synonymy of S. (s.str.) clavicornis (Scopoli, 1763). Stenus (s.str.) aquilonius L.Benick, 1921 is revalidated as a sp...
Predominance of Vibidia duodecimgutta (Poda, 1761) in the assemblages of ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) overwintering in floodplain forests
We investigated assemblages of ladybird beetles overwintering in the litter of willow-poplar floodplain forests (Salici-Populetum) that grew along the banks of the river Vistula in the Mazovian Lowland (central Poland)....
