From Traps to Taxa: Building a Robust DNA Barcode Reference Library for the Early Detection of Invasive Cerambycidae. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis 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

Why the Long "Horns"? Fine-Scale Morphology Suggests Tactile Demands Contributed to the Exaggeration of Male Longhorned Beetle Antennae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolExceptionally 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
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 114, Issue 2, Page 1-14, October 2023., 2023 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 ...

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 469-483, October 2023., 2023 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
EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 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 ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 391-403, August 2023., 2023 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.

Classifying the unknown: Insect identification with deep hierarchical Bayesian learning
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1515-1530, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Classifying insect species involves a tedious process of identifying distinctive morphological insect characters by taxonomic experts. Machine learning can harness the power of computers to potentially create an accurate and efficient method for performing this task at scale, given that its analytical processing can be more sensitive to subtle

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 146, Issue 9, Page 1098-1108, November 2022., 2022 Abstract Longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) are a diverse family of beetles that can cause considerable damage as forest pests and vectors of pathogens, as well as being important components of forest food webs and ecosystem functionality. In recent years, numerous cerambycid pheromones have been identified, revealing some broad general patterns in ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 4-24, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is regarded as a keystone plant species. Trophic interactions may affect the distribution and abundance of phytophagous species, but the number of arthropod species that use holm oak as a food resource and their levels of host specificity are not yet known.
