Taxonomy of Korean Notothecta Thomson (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae)
Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2019 A taxonomic study of Korean Notothecta Thomson is presented. Two species are recognized [N. effecta (Sawada) and N. watanabei (Sawada)] and a new synonym, Atheta (Atheta) taesongsanensis Paśnik = N. watanabei (Sawada), is proposed.

Response of rove-beetle (Staphylinidae) assemblages to the cumulative effect of wildfire and linear footprint in boreal treed peatlands. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 We studied the short‐term (1 year post‐fire) responses of rove beetle assemblages to the combined effects of wildfire and linear footprint in forest, edge and seismic line habitats at burned and unburned peatlands along the southwest perimeter of the 2016 Horse River wildfire, in Fort McMurray (Alberta), with the objective to address whether fire could

Army ant middens - Home and nursery of a diverse beetle fauna. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We used DNA barcoding to examine the beetle fauna associated with army ant middens. Middens served as a food source, a breeding ground and a nursery to a diverse assemblage of beetle scavengers. Our study highlights the key role of army ants as promoters of biodiversity. Abstract Army ants provide nourishment to a large variety of animals.

The influence of forest types including native and non-native tree species on soil macrofauna depends on site conditions. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAbstract The ongoing climate change calls for managing forest ecosystems in temperate regions toward more drought‐resistant and climate‐resilient stands. Yet ecological consequences of management options such as planting non‐native tree species and mixing coniferous and deciduous tree species have been little studied, especially on soil animal ...

Termite nest evolution fostered social parasitism by termitophilous rove beetles. [PDF]
Evolution, 2022 Abstract Colonies of social insects contain large amounts of resources often exploited by specialized social parasites. Although some termite species host numerous parasitic arthropod species, called termitophiles, others host none. The reason for this large variability remains unknown. Here, we report that the evolution of termitophily in rove beetles

Trophic level and basal resource use of soil animals are hardly affected by local plant associations in abandoned arable land. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 Soil invertebrates depend on plants and plant residues as food source and habitat, but this link may be weaker than that for aboveground taxa and may have different mechanisms. We showed that in general, basal resources and trophic levels available for soil animal species are similar under different plants, but food‐web structure changes with the age ...

Structural Diversity of Adipokinetic Hormones in the Coleopteran Suborder Polyphaga (Excluding Cucujiformia). [PDF]
Arch Insect Biochem PhysiolAdipokinetic hormones of Polyphaga beetles (minus Cucujiformia series) were sequenced and confirmed via mass spectrometry. Schgr‐AKH‐II is assumed as ancestral AKH in Coleoptera. Radiation of AKH diversity during the evolution of Scarabaeoidea. ABSTRACT Beetles are the largest animal group, in general.
