To outline the species mainly related to olive plantations, among the several candidates, on the basis of their aAD, we highlighted that species with aAD values higher than average within each cluster of sites (see Fig 2 and S1 Table). After excluding the two forest species, i.e., Calathus montivagus and Pterostichus melas, it was possible to recognize 11 species, listed in Table 3, as characteristic of olive plantations. They showed a distribution range mainly around the Mediterranean region, and they are chiefly small species with a high dispersal power and an opportunistic diet (see Table 3).
