Click beetle-like jumping device for entertainment
SIGGRAPH Asia 2014 Emerging Technologies, 2014We developed a interactive jumping device mimicking the jumping behavior of click beetle. The purpose of this study is exploring the application of biomimetics to digital entertainment. Specifically, We focused on the psychological impact caused by jumping of click beetle.

1996
This is the first monograph on the Australian genera of Elateridae - click beetles. The book deals with 74 genera, among which 14 are newly recognised. The volume documents the entire Australian fauna and provides lavish illustrations of representative species, and typical examples of the male and female genitalia for each genus.

Decrypting Cryptic Click Beetle Species by Analysis of Sex Pheromones
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2015Despite sex pheromones being highly species specific, their use as phylogenetic characters and a tool for the verification of species status are still relatively few compared to use of morphological and molecular characters. Earlier studies revealed that within the click beetle species Idolus picipennis, two types can be separated based on pheromone ...

Cloning and Characterization of Luciferase from a Fijian Luminous Click Beetle
Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2013AbstractLuminous click beetle is distributed almost exclusively in Central and South America with a single genus in Melanesia. Among these click beetles, the description of Melanesian species has been fragmentary, and its luciferase gene and phylogenetic relation to other click beetles still remain uncertain. We collected a living luminous click beetle,

ASME 2025 Conference on Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures and Intelligent Systems
Abstract Click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae) have evolved a unique clicking mechanism that enables them to rapidly convert stored elastic potential energy into kinetic energy. However, the biological reason for why this mechanism evolved remains unclear.
