From Traps to Taxa: Building a Robust DNA Barcode Reference Library for the Early Detection of Invasive Cerambycidae. [PDF]
This work presents a curated DNA barcode reference library covering 147 species of longhorned beetles commonly intercepted in European biosurveillance programmes. By focusing on taxonomic validation and data quality, this resource improves the accuracy of specimen identification despite the limitations of existing databases. It also supports ecological

A Highly Expressed Odorant Receptor Detects the Aggregation Pheromone Rhynchophorol in the Invasive American Palm Weevil. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Communication via aggregation pheromones is responsible for the behavioural and ecological characteristics of many species of weevils (Coleoptera). In insects, pheromones are detected by specialized odorant receptors (ORs), called pheromone receptors (PRs), which are usually highly expressed in olfactory sensory neurons localized in the ...

Why the Long "Horns"? Fine-Scale Morphology Suggests Tactile Demands Contributed to the Exaggeration of Male Longhorned Beetle Antennae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). [PDF]
Exceptionally elongated antennae are common in male longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), but their function and evolution are poorly understood. Through scanning electron microscopy and antennal morphometrics of multiple Anoplistes species (Cerambycidae), our study revealed that elongate antennae are more likely adaptive for close‐range ...

First evidence of a horizontally‐acquired GH‐7 cellobiohydrolase from a longhorned beetle genome
Cellobiohydrolases of glycoside hydrolase family 7 (GH7) in longhorned beetles likely came from Ascomycete fungus via HGT. GH7 cellobiohydrolases were independently acquired multiple times in Metazoa through horizontal gene transfer. GH7 cellobiohydrolases, along with other enzymes, help longhorned beetle larvae break down cellulose into glucose units ...

Cerambycidae genomes encode an arsenal of horizontally‐acquired plant cell wall‐degrading enzymes. Most of the PCWDE‐encoding genes of bacterial origin gained introns after their transfer into the beetle genome, and are surrounded by typical insect genes and/or transposable elements.

Commodity risk assessment of Quercus petraea plants from the UK
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High‐risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by plants of Quercus petraea imported from the UK ...

Abstract Velvet longhorned beetle Trichoferus campestris (Faldermann) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is native to Asia. It is reported to be polyphagous in its native range, but hosts have not been screened in its introduced range in the United States. We conducted choice and no‐choice host experiments. For choice assays, gravid T.
