Genome sequencing provides insights into the evolution of gene families encoding plant cell wall‐degrading enzymes in longhorned beetles

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.

Ovipositional behaviour and larval performance of Trichoferus campestris (Faldermann) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) on cut branches of four North American tree species

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

p‐Mentha‐1,3‐dien‐9‐ol: A novel aggregation‐sex pheromone for monitoring longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in Eurasia and North America

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 ...

What feeds on Quercus ilex L.? A biogeographical approach to studying trophic interactions in a Mediterranean keystone species

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.

Larvae of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera; Cerambycidae) have evolved a diverse and phylogenetically conserved array of plant cell wall degrading enzymes

Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 784-797, October 2021., 2021
We addressed the numbers, kinds and evolution of cerambycid plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) by surveying larval midgut transcriptomes from 23 species representing six of the eight recognized subfamilies of Cerambycidae. We identified 340 new putative PCWDEs belonging to ten carbohydrate active enzyme families, including two gene families ...

Assessing the equilibrium between assemblage composition and climate: A directional distance‐decay approach

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 90, Issue 8, Page 1906-1918, August 2021., 2021
The anisotropy in assemblage spatial turnover (whether assemblages vary with different rates depending on direction) reveals the degree of equilibrium between assemblage composition and climate Abstract The variation of assemblage composition in space is characterised by the decrease in assemblage similarity with spatial distance.
