Defensive Glands in the Adult and Larval Stages of the Darkling Beetle,Luprops tristis [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2010
Invasion by large populations of the litter-dwelling darkling beetle Luprops tristis Fabricius (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) following the short spell of summer rains during April, and their extended state of dormancy is a regular event in rubber plantation habitats in south-western India.

How many species is a species? Integrative taxonomy sheds light on the systematics of an insular beetle species complex comprised of 12 subspecies (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Dailognatha quadricollis)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
This study provides the first integrative taxonomic assessment of Dailognatha quadricollis (a species comprising 12 subspecies), by combining single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from double digest restriction‐site associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing with external and genital morphological traits.

Thermophilization over space but not time among communities of ground‐dwelling arthropods in a desert city

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Thermophilization of communities, or shifts in composition favoring more warm‐adapted species, over time and space is a common response to warming from global climate change and localized effects of land‐use change. However, the interplay between community thermophilization driven by temporal warming in global climate and spatial warming in ...

Native insect species should be selected for classroom rearings

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 1-10, January 2026.
Rearing insects in the school classroom can build positive attitudes towards insects among schoolchildren, which is becoming increasingly important as insect populations decline. Identified frequent use of non‐native insect species, raising environmental and ethical concerns after classroom rearing ends.

How many cows are in the desert? Molecular phylogeny and species delimitation of the genus Gyriosomus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae) from the Atacama Desert

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The newly systematic rearrangement of Gyriosomus recognizes 9 clades, validates 21 taxonomical species and suggests 12 synonyms and 12 species candidates. Three taxonomical species were not evaluated. Polymorphisms, convergences and crypsis have been detected, and therefore morphology‐based taxonomy should be approached with caution. Ecological drivers

Entry by brute force: An unusual behaviour displayed by Scaurus uncinus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), to access nests of Messor barbarus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Spain

European Journal of Entomology
We describe a new and unusual myrmecophilous behaviour displayed by the darkling beetle, Scaurus uncinus (Forster, 1771) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), accessing nests of the harvester ant, Messor barbarus (Linnaeus, 1767) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), in ...
