As well, this family and subfamily are known to be exceptionally good ecological indicators and are increasingly being used to assess ecosystem resistance and resilience in the wake of development and environmental changes ( Pohl et al.
Improved sampling of Staphylinidae and especially Aleocharinae are needed to establish baseline biodiversity composition in areas of the country where ecosystems are undergoing rapid change due to resource extraction and climate change. Nonetheless, the fauna of these provincial and territorial jurisdictions is starting to receive more attention as many studies in recent years have sampled aleocharines in a large number of habitats, particularly in Alberta.
CANADIAN PITFALL TRAP FULL
Thus the full distribution of many species recorded for Canada is not known because of the large gaps in sampling intensity. 2009a, b) and in the Yukon ( Klimaszewski et al. Western and northern Canada (Manitoba to British Columbia, and the three territories), however, remain poorly studied except for a few localities in coastal British Columbia ( Klimaszewski and Winchester 2002, McLean et al. Aleocharinae are one of the poorest known subfamilies of rove beetles in Canada, although enormous strides have been made in understanding the taxonomy of this group in the last 20 years, especially in eastern Canada. Staphylinidae (the rove beetles) are the most species-rich family of beetles in Canada with 1652 species and subspecies recorded, 510 of which are in the Aleocharinae ( Bousquet et al.
