Chromosome-Scale Genomes of the Flightless Caterpillar Hunter Beetles Calosoma tepidum and Calosoma wilkesii From British Columbia (Coleoptera: Carabidae). [PDF]
The giant ground beetle genus Calosoma (Coleoptera, Carabidae) comprises ca. 120 species distributed worldwide. About half of the species in this genus are flightless due to a process of wing reduction likely resulting from the colonization of remote ...
