Phylogenetic revision of the New Zealand genus Dasytricheta, with a discussion of its systematic position within the subfamily Aleocharinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2007
The genus Dasytricheta Bernhauer, 1943 is redefined. The genus Pyromecroma Cameron, 1945 is considered a new synonym of Dasytricheta. Eleven valid species are recognised in the genus: Dasytricheta spectabilis Bernhauer, 1943 (the type species of ...

Core and occasional species: A new way forward

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 15, Page 10547-10565, August 2021., 2021
This paper describes a novel method of dividing ecological communities into species groups based on their relative abundance. It builds on the core–occasional species concept but tackles grouping of species in a completely new, more objective way, with no a priori assumption of the number of groups in a community.

Predatory Insects and Spiders From Suburban Lawns in Lexington, Kentucky [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Predatory arthropods were caught in pitfall traps in suburban lawns in Lexington, Kentucky. The relative abundance of species of Lycosidae, Carabidae, and Staphylinidae was compared in Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue turf.

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2005
The subgenus Gnypetalia Cameron, 1939 is redefined and raised to the genus rank. Eleven valid species are recognised in the genus, six of which are described as new: Gnypetalia armata sp. n. (Solomon Islands), G. cuccodoroi sp. n. (Philippines: Luzon), G.

Diversity and phylogenetic community structure across elevation during climate change in a family of hyperdiverse neotropical beetles (Staphylinidae)

open access: yesEcography, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 740-752, May 2021., 2021
Environmental stress from abiotic conditions imposes physiological limits on individuals within communities, and these stressful conditions can act as a filter on the species present in any given environment. Such abiotic stressors can reduce a community's diversity and make its composition more phylogenetically clustered. Using a decade of staphylinid

Patterns of richness across forest beetle communities—A methodological comparison of observed and estimated species numbers

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 626-635, January 2021., 2021
The observed number of beetle species considerably under‐represents species richness and the number of shared species between strata and tree species in the Leipzig floodplain forest. Still, richness ranking patterns based on the number of observed species are largely reliable.

A summary of the endemic beetle genera of the West Indies (Insecta: Coleoptera); bioindicators of the evolutionary richness of this Neotropical archipelago [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Caribbean Islands (or the West Indies) are recognized as one of the leading global biodiversity hot spots. This is based on data on species, genus, and family diversity for vascular plants and non-marine vertebrates.

The Tachyusa coarctata species group revisited: Phylogenetic relationships and a new species (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2010
The Tachyusa coarctata species group is revised. The species group is defined on the basis of the distinctly asperate punctation on elytra, the dense punctation on tergites III-V with interstices between punctures 1.5-2.0 times their diameter, and the ...

Aleocharinae from Gabon (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) [PDF]

open access: yesTropical Zoology, 2012
Six tribes (Pronomaeini, Gyrophaenini, Homalotini, Eusteniamorphini, Athetini and Lomechusini), 12 genera (Myllaena, Brachida, Cameronium, Coenonica, Eustenidia, Amanota, Atheta, Drusilla, Neosmectonia, Zyras, Porus and Myrmechusa) and 14 species are recognized. Twelve species are described as new to science: Brachida gabonensis n.
