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

Sexual Dimorphism of Tarsal Attachment Devices and Their Relation to Mating in Coccinellidae. [PDF]

J Morphol
We explore the coevolution of male attachment devices and female elytral morphology in coccinellids. Specifically: (1) Disco‐setae are present in males of some species, located on the hairy pad which during mating hold on female elytra. (2) The area of male disco‐setae is extended when females have smooth elytra, and reduced when females have hairy ...

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 ...

Fast‐tracking bespoke DNA reference database generation from museum collections for biomonitoring and conservation

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Despite recent advances in high‐throughput DNA sequencing technologies, a lack of locally relevant DNA reference databases limits the potential for DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity for conservation and biosecurity applications. Museums and national collections represent a compelling source of authoritatively identified genetic material for

Rainforest conversion to smallholder cash crops leads to varying declines of beetles (Coleoptera) on Sumatra

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 119-131, January 2023., 2023
This study compared canopy beetle density and diversity between lowland rainforest and the three main cash crop agriculture systems in Sumatra, Indonesia: jungle rubber agroforest, and monoculture plantations of rubber and oil palm. Focusing on the four beetle families Chrysomelidae, Curculionidae, Elateridae and Staphylinidae, we demonstrate severe ...

Efficacy of the entomopathogenic fungi; Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae against the cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus F. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae)

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020
The efficacy of the two entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae (TR 106) and Beauveria bassiana (TR 217), was tested against the adults of the cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus F. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) in laboratory.

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 ...
