Chemical Defense of an Ozaenine Bombardier Beetle From New Guinea
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 96, Issue 3-4, Page 153-160, 1989., 1989 We had occasion recently to study 3 live specimens of Pseudozaena orientalis opaca, an ozaenine carabid beetle (subfamily Paussinae, tribe Ozaenini) from New Guinea, and report here on the biology and chemistry of its defensive spray mechanism. A number of New World ozaenines had previously been studied chemically and shown to be “bombardiers” that ...

Data from: Successful escape of bombardier beetles from predator digestive systems
, 2018 Some prey animals can escape from the digestive systems of predators after being swallowed. To clarify the ecological factors that determine the success of such an escape, we investigated how the bombardier beetle Pheropsophus jessoensis escapes from two

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 644-666, May 2026.Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city's circulatory flows ...

Beetles, barcodes and big data: A deep dive into the phylogeny of Harpalinae (Carabidae)
Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.The largest phylogenetic study of the Carabidae to date is provided with a focus on the Harpalinae. Using novel mitogenomes with a site‐based approach combined with data mining from GenBank and BOLD, we achieve dense coverage of the major Harpalinae sensu lato clades.

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 94-116, 1963., 1963 In the course of exploratory field studies on arthropods with defensive glands, we came across two species which emit a strong and persistent phenolic odor when handled. One is a carabid beetle (Chlaenius cordicollis Kirby), the other a chordeumoid millipede [Abacion magnum (Loomis)].

The conservation of saproxylic beetles in boreal forest [PDF]
, 2006 Forest management has altered the age structure, tree species composition and dead wood availability of Swedish boreal forests. As a consequence, many saproxylic (wood living) insect species have decreased in abundance and many species are threatened ...

Paussus brancuccii sp.nov., an unusually abundant species of the Paussus jousselinii group from Laos and South China (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Paussinae, Paussini) [PDF]
, 2016 A new myrmecophilous species of flanged bombardier beetles is described from northeastern Laosand China (Guangxi), Paussus brancuccii sp.nov. This species stands out from other members of the Paussusjousselinii group and most other Paussines by the large

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.
