Statistical Evaluation of Monophyly in the ‘Broad-Nosed Weevils’ through Molecular Phylogenetic Analysis Combining Mitochondrial Genome and Single-Locus Sequences (Curculionidae: Entiminae, Cyclominae, and Hyperinae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Establishing well-supported monophyletic groups is a key requirement for producing a natural classification that reflects evolutionary descent. In a phylogenetic framework this is best achieved through dense taxon sampling and the analysis of a robust ...

Beetle Pollination in the Holoparasitic Lophophytum pyramidale (Balanophoraceae): A New Case of Brood‐Pollination Mutualism?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1542-1554, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.

Phylogenomics and revised classification of Lymexyloidea and Tenebrionoidea (Coleoptera: Polyphaga: Cucujiformia)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 794-812, October 2025.
Using a large‐scale phylogenomic dataset, we provide the robustly supported phylogeny of the wider Tenebrionoid clade, with Lymexyloidea sister to the mordelloid clade (Mordellidae and Ripiphoridae) + remaining Tenebrionoidea. Lymexyloidea contained two newly circumscribed families, each of them with two subfamilies, and both Mordellidae and ...

Habitat characteristics and nest of the ladybird spider, Eresus kollari (Araneae: Eresidae) in South Korea

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Eresus kollari is typically found in dry grasslands and stony steppes; however, in South Korea, it has been primarily found in the humid environments of cemeteries. These spiders have highly localized habitats, and their burrowing and nest‐building habits make them difficult to find and observe in the field.
