Higher-level phylogeny of Chrysomelidae based on expanded sampling of mitogenomes

PLoS ONE, 2022
Chrysomelidae is one of the most diverse lineages of beetles. The classification and phylogeny of Chrysomelidae have been contentious. In this study, we obtained 16 new mitogenome sequences by using next-generation sequencing. Combined with the published

Does diet breadth affect the complexity of the phytophagous insect microbiota? The case study of Chrysomelidae

Environmental Microbiology, 2021
Summary Chrysomelidae is a family of phytophagous insects with a highly variable degree of trophic specialization. The aim of this study is to test whether species feeding on different plants (generalists) harbour more complex microbiotas than those ...

Taste recognition through tarsal gustatory sensilla potentially important for host selection in leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Scientific Reports, 2020
It is well known that Diptera and Lepidoptera can recognize tastes through their legs, which allows them to select suitable hosts. In Coleoptera, the largest insect order, however, the role of the legs in taste recognition to aid in host selection is ...
