EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT SAMPLING METHODS TO ESTIMATE THE POPULATION DENSITY OF BLISTER BEETLE, MELOE PROSCARABAEUS L. (COLEOPTERA: MELOIDAE) IN NEW-VALLEY GOVERNORATE, EGYPT. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2013
The blister beetle, Meloe proscarabaeus L. (Coleoptera: Meloidae) was recorded for the first time as a serious insect pest attacking faba bean (Vicia faba L.), peas, alfalfa, onion and wild weeds in El-Farafra Oasis, (Western Desert), Egypt. Beetles feed

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Linking Environmental Gradients, Functional Traits, and Phylogenetic Structure in Meloidae (Coleoptera) Assemblages of Inner Western Anatolia

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) exhibit complex life cycles, strong host dependencies, and unusual dispersal strategies, yet community‐level ecological analyses remain rare. We aimed to identify the environmental drivers of Meloidae assemblage structure and species richness, assess whether species responses are taxonomically ...

Differences in blister beetle consumption between male and female great bustards.

open access: yes, 2014
†χ2 test.††GLM test with Poisson distribution.†††Significance values cannot be determined because there was only one female stomach with a blister beetle.Occurrence (%) is the percentage of faeces or stomachs where blister beetles were found.

The spruce bark beetle Ips typographus in a changing climate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Outbreaks of the Spruce bark beetle Ips typographus are often triggered by storm and drought and have destroyed millions of cubic meters of wood. It is therefore a pest insect of economic importance in Europe.

Burn Selection: How Fire Injury Shaped Human Evolution

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 2, February 2026.
Intentional fire use exposed humans and their ancestors to high‐temperature burn injury, a risk rare in other species, bringing major survival benefits and technologies but also repeated exposure to extreme heat. The Burn Selection Hypothesis reframes this cost of fire mastery as a unique selective pressure, which shaped our evolution.

Gut microbial changes in a specialist blister beetle larvae and their nutritional metabolic characteristics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Insect gut microbiota and their metabolites play a significant role in the shaping of hosts' diets and feeding habits. We conducted 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing on the gut microbiota of specialist blister beetle larvae that feed on locust eggs and ...

The effect of environmental conditions on diapause in the blister beetle, Mylabris phalerata (Coleoptera: Meloidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
In the field, the blister beetle Mylabris phalerata Pallas (Coleoptera: Meloidae) undergoes larval diapause in the ground, which lasts for nearly six months. The effect of the soil environment on this diapause was examined.

Habitat fragmentation affects plant–arthropod interactions through connectivity loss and edge effects

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Habitat fragmentation is widespread globally, but the effects of fragmentation on populations and communities are often unclear. Because species responses to fragmentation are interdependent, examining how fragmentation alters species interactions may clarify community responses to fragmentation. In a large, replicated fragmentation experiment,
