Three are apparently saproxylic species characteristic of forested habitats; three are primarily grassland species; and the remaining four are eurytopic species found in a wide variety of forested and open habitats.</description><identifier>https://zenodo.org/record/576616</identifier><identifier>10.3897/zookeys.35.318</identifier><identifier>oai:zenodo.org:576616</identifier><relation>info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/lsid/urn:lsid:plazi.org:pub:73788C50B242D70FF55C3742FFBC1A5B</relation><relation>info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/url/http://publication.plazi.org/id/73788C50B242D70FF55C3742FFBC1A5B</relation><relation>url:http://www.gbif.org/dataset/d312e146-9347-4644-b2fe-8829d8221d21</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.3789512</relation><relation>url:http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8F41F428B240D70DF5D0324FFBEF1CDC</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.3789514</relation><relation>url:http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8F41F428B244D707F5D035D1FBF11CD3</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.3789520</relation><relation>url:http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8F41F428B24BD706F5D037E5FD2B1993</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.3789518</relation><relation>url:http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8F41F428B24BD704F5D03355FECB1833</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.3789516</relation><relation>url:http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8F41F428B249D702F5D035F5FD2B1E55</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.3789524</relation><relation>url:http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8F41F428B24FD700F5D0331FFCE5181F</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.3789522</relation><relation>url:http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8F41F428B24DD71FF5D035D1FEC61943</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.3789530</relation><relation>url:http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8F41F428B253D71EF5D037E5FD2B1F5F</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.3789528</relation><relation>url:http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8F41F428B253D71CF5D03211FC6F19F3</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.3789526</relation><relation>url:http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8F41F428B251D71BF5D0331FFE051F73</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.3789532</relation><relation>url:http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8F41F428B256D719F5D03235FC4A1EC0</relation><relation>url:https://zenodo.org/communities/biosyslit</relation><rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</rights><rights>https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode</rights><source>ZooKeys 35(35) 37-63</source><subject>Biodiversity</subject><subject>Taxonomy</subject><subject>Animalia</subject><subject>Cryptophagidae</subject><subject>Atomariinae</subject><subject>Atomaria</subject><subject>Atlantic canada</subject><subject>New brunswick</subject><subject>Newfoundland and labrador</subject><subject>Nova scotia</subject><subject>Prince edward island</subject><subject>Biodiversity</subject><subject>Zoogeography</subject><subject>Bionomics</subject><subject>Taxonomy</subject><subject>Synonymy</subject><title>Contributions towards an understanding of the Atomariinae (Coleoptera, Cryptophagidae) of Atlantic Canada</title><type>Journal:Article</type><type>Journal:Article</type><recordID>576616</recordID></dc>
