Devastating outbreak of bark beetles in the Czech Republic: Drivers, impacts, and management implications

, 2021
Outbreaks of tree-killing insects are intensifying globally, affecting economies, human well-being, and driving ecosystem transitions. The Czech Republic has recently become Europe’s epicenter of the outbreak of spruce bark beetle Ips typographus, the ...

Mechanisms of collision recovery in flying beetles and flapping-wing robots

Science, 2020
Protection in the wings Beetles have hardened forewings for the protection of their bodies and hindwings, and their use during crawling or burrowing is well understood.

Relationships among wood‐boring beetles, fungi, and the decomposition of forest biomass

Molecular Ecology, 2019
A prevailing paradigm in forest ecology is that wood‐boring beetles facilitate wood decay and carbon cycling, but empirical tests have yielded mixed results.

Fungi associated with beetles dispersing from dead wood – Let's take the beetle bus!

Fungal ecology, 2019
Spore characteristics of wood-inhabiting fungi suggest that wind is their predominant dispersal vector. However, since they are restricted to ephemeral habitats, colonizing new patches should benefit from dispersal by animals with similar habitat ...

Evolution of beetle bioluminescence: the origin of beetle luciferin

Luminescence, 2004
AbstractBioluminescence, the conversion of chemical energy into light in living organisms, is dependent on two principal components, an enzyme luciferase and the substrate luciferin. In beetles, the enzyme luciferase has been extensively studied, with significant enzymological, sequence and structural data now available. Furthermore, the enzyme has been

Beetle Immunity

2010
Genetic studies have elegantly characterized the innate immune response in Drosophila melanogaster. However, these studies have a limited ability to reveal the biochemical mechanisms underlying the innate immune response. To investigate the biochemical basis of how insects recognize invading microbes and how these recognition signals activate the ...

Pity beetle algorithm - A new metaheuristic inspired by the behavior of bark beetles

Advances in Engineering Software, 2018
In the past years a great variety of nature-inspired algorithms have proven their ability to efficiently handle combinatorial optimization problems ranging from design and form finding problems to mainstream economic theory and medical diagnosis. In this

GROUND BEETLES, DIVING BEETLES, WHIRLIGIG BEETLES, WATER SCAVENGERS, RIFFLE BEETLES, SCARAB BEETLES, DUNG BEETLES, HISTER BEETLES, CARRION BEETLES - THE BEETLES (INSECTA, COLEOPTERA) OF THE TRAVERTINE WATERFALLS, MEDITERRANEAN PONDS AND GRASSLANDS OF KRKA NATIONAL PARK

2017
Geografski položaj, geološke i hidrološke značajke i vegetacija na području Nacionalnog parka „Krka” uvjetuju jedinstvenost prisutnih biocenoza, koje doprinose biološkoj raznolikosti i endemizmu vrsta. Tijekom 2010. i u srpnju 2012. godine provedena su faunistička istraživanja vodenih i kopnenih kornjaša (Insecta, Coleoptera) na krškim slapovima ...
