Molecular Phylogeny and Tribal Classification of Flanged Bombardier Beetles (Carabidae: Paussinae) [PDF]
ARPHA Conference Abstracts, 2019 Members of the carabid subfamily Paussinae are known for their explosive defensive chemistry and their associations with ants, which vary from some species being facultative predators of adult ants to others being obligate predators of ant brood. This association with ants has driven extreme morphological adaptations in some lineages.

Olfaction in the Spruce Bark Beetle, Ips typographus [PDF]
, 2011 The bark beetle Ips typographus regularly kills spruce trees in the Palearctic. Spruces are colonized by means of attraction to an aggregation pheromone. Attraction is modulated by anti-attractive volatiles (NHV) from non-host plants.
