Click Beetles (Coleoptera, Elateridae) in Agrolandscapes of Northwestern Russia

Entomological Review, 2019
A total of 44 species of click beetles (Coleoptera, Elateridae) were recorded in the agricultural landscapes of Northwestern Russia; 23 species were found in various crop fields. Species of the genus Agriotes Eschscholtz, 1829 were the only ones that were recorded in all the examined biotopes.

Identification of Sex Pheromone Composition of Click Beetle Agriotes brevis Candeze

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2002
Geranyl butyrate (GB) and (E, E)-farnesyl butyrate (FB) were identified in the pheromone gland extract of females of the click beetle, Agriotes brevis (Candeze) (Coleoptera: Elateridae) as the major sex pheromone components. Polyethylene vial dispensers containing 20-200 mg of a 1:1 mixture caught high numbers of beetles. Captures did not decrease even

Cloning and Characterization of Luciferase from a Fijian Luminous Click Beetle

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2013
AbstractLuminous 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,

Click and Run: Investigation of Click Beetles’ Ultrafast Clicking Behavior As a Mechanism for Escape From Constraints

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.

Characterization of luciferases and its paralogue in the Panamanian luminous click beetle Pyrophorus angustus: A click beetle luciferase lacks the fatty acyl-CoA synthetic activity

Gene, 2010
Two luciferase genes (dPaLuc and vPaLuc) and one paralogue of luciferase (PaLL) were isolated from the Panamanian luminous click beetle, Pyrophorus angustus (Elateridae, Pyrophorinae). The transcripts of dPaLuc and vPaLuc were predominantly detected in the body parts with dorsal photophore and ventral photophore, respectively, and the transcript of ...

Luciferase from Fulgeochlizus bruchi (Coleoptera:Elateridae), a Brazilian click-beetle with a single abdominal lantern: molecular evolution, biological function and comparison with other click-beetle luciferases

Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2012
Bioluminescent click-beetles emit a wide range of bioluminescence colors (λ(Max) = 534-594 nm) from thoracic and abdominal lanterns, which are used for courtship. Only the luciferases from Pyrophorus and Pyrearinus species were cloned and sequenced. The Brazilian Fulgeochlizus bruchi click-beetle, which inhabits the Central-west Cerrado (Savannas), is ...
