Review of the biodiversity and zoogeographical patterns of the weevils (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea) in Israel

open access: yesZooKeys, 2009
The rich but poorly studied weevil (Curculionoidea) fauna in Israel is briefly reviewed, highlighting the uniqueness of its high biodiversity and zoogeographical pattern. The collection efforts of about 100 years are briefly summarized. Ten families of

Sustainable Land Use Strengthens Microbial and Herbivore Controls in Soil Food Webs in Current and Future Climates

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 11, November 2024.
Our study examines how climate change and farming practices impact soil ecosystems, focusing on energy flux through the soil food web. We found that less intensive, sustainable farming methods help maintain soil ecosystem functioning, even under changing climate conditions.

Plant-herbivorous beetle networks: molecular characterization of trophic ecology within a threatened steppic environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
DNA barcoding facilitates many evolutionary and ecological studies, including the examination of the dietary diversity of herbivores. In this study, we present a survey of ecological associations between herbivorous beetles and host plants from seriously

Chronospaces: An R package for the statistical exploration of divergence times promotes the assessment of methodological sensitivity

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, Page 1822-1833, October 2024.
Abstract Much of our understanding of the history of life hinges upon time calibration, the process of assigning absolute times to cladogenetic events. Bayesian approaches to time‐scaling phylogenetic trees have dramatically grown in complexity, and depend today upon numerous methodological choices. Arriving at objective justifications for all of these

Pest categorisation of non‐EU Scolytinae on non‐coniferous hosts

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a group pest categorisation for the EU territory of non‐EU Scolytinae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on non‐coniferous hosts, which total 6495 known species. Most species attack apparently healthy, weakened or dead trees, either feeding on the phloem (‘bark beetles’ subgroup) or on fungi inoculated into ...

Soup to tree: the phylogeny of beetles inferred by mitochondrial metagenomics of a Bornean rainforest sample [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In spite of the growth of molecular ecology, systematics and next-generation sequencing, the discovery and analysis of diversity is not currently integrated with building the tree-of-life.
