A New Species, New Synonymy, and Additional Records of Gyrophaena (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Aleocharinae) from the Palaearctic Region

Zoodiversity, 2022
Gyrophaena anastasiarum Glotov, sp. n. is described from Primorskiy Kray (Russian Far East). New synonymy is proposed: Gyrophaena triquetra Weise, 1877 = Gyrophaena fl ammula Pace, 2007 syn. n. Lectotypes are designated for Gyrophaena hanseni A.

Evidence for social parasitism of early insect societies by Cretaceous rove beetles. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2016
The evolution of eusociality in ants and termites propelled both insect groups to their modern ecological dominance. Yet, eusociality also fostered the evolution of social parasitism—an adverse symbiosis, in which the superorganismal colonies formed by ...

Season‐Long Simplification of Insect Communities in Dung From Cattle Treated With an Extended‐Release Formulation of the Parasiticide Eprinomectin

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 684-697, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Cattle treated with LongRange®, an injectable formulation of the parasiticide eprinomectin, fecally excrete insecticidal residues for an extended period post application. We examined the nontarget effect of these residues by comparing insect communities developing in dung of untreated cattle (week 0) with those developing in dung of cattle ...

The thoracic anatomy of Pselaphus heisei (Pselaphinae, Staphylinidae, Coleoptera)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Upper part: SEM micrographs of Pselaphus heisei, lateral view; Lower part: 3D reconstructions of thoracic muscles of Pselaphus heisei, mesal view. Abstract We document external and internal thoracic structures of the free‐living pselaphine beetle Pselaphus heisei (Pselaphitae) using a set of traditional and modern techniques.

A unique case of commensalism: The beaver beetle Platypsyllus castoris (Leiodidae, Coleoptera) and its morphological adaptations

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
We document in detail the morphology of adults of the beaver beetle Platypsyllus castoris with modern techniques, and interpret evolutionary changes linked with the specific life style of the beetle in the fur of the beaver. Platypsyllus displays numerous structural specializations which ensure mechanical stabilization, firm anchorage on the host, and ...

Rapid recovery of boreal rove beetle (Staphylinidae) assemblages 16 years after variable retention harvest

Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Post‐harvest recovery of biodiversity is one of important goals in modern forestry. A variable retention (VR) approach has been of particular interest in North America because it promotes rapid faunal recovery, while minimizing negative lasting impacts of logging on the natural fauna.

Laboulbeniomycetes (Fungi, Ascomycota) of Denmark

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2021
In this study, the thallus-forming Laboulbeniomycetes (Herpomycetales and Laboulbeniales) from Denmark are presented as an illustrated monograph. Sixteen species and one genus are newly described based on morphology and ecology (host association).

Hidden island endemic species and their implications for cryptic speciation within soil arthropods

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 1367-1380, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Specialisation to the soil environment is expected to constrain the spatial scale of diversification within animal lineages. In this context, flightless arthropod lineages, adapted to soil environments, but with broad geographical ranges, represent something of an anomaly.

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...
