Anatomical and Histological Structures of the Male Reproductive System of Chalcophora mariana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae): Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy Study

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first detailed morphological analysis of the male reproductive system of Chalcophora mariana (Linnaeus, 1758) using stereo microscopy, light microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The male reproductive system of C.

Larval character evolution in Holometabola (Insecta)

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Larvae, a novel type of immature stage, are a crucial innovation of the Holometabola. Larval features therefore provide key evidence for reconstructing evolutionary transformations in this megadiverse group. Here we present the first formal reconstruction of larval character evolution, using maximum parsimony and Bayesian ancestral‐state ...

Using a Generic Blend of Pheromones to Simultaneously Attract a Diversity of Elaterid Beetle Species Native to Eastern North America

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We assessed attraction of eight elaterid species to a “generic” pheromone blend containing their eight known pheromones or sex attractants. All eight species were attracted by their specific attractants, as expected. Six species were attracted to the blend, but the remaining two species were strongly inhibited by unknown blend components.

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...

Taxonomic and methodological biases in saproxylic beetles: Body size, trophic group and detection probability

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Smaller saproxylic beetle species are described later and appear later in georeferenced databases, demonstrating a persistent body‐size bias that contributes to Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls. Trophic group, not body size, is the primary driver of detection probability in standardised flight‐trap surveys, with sapro‐xylophagous species detected most ...

Taxonomic review of the predatory genus Cryptalaus Ôhira (Coleoptera: Elateridae) from Korea with a new record of C. yamato (Nakane)

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2019
We studied the taxonomy of the predatory genus Cryptalaus Ôhira (Coleoptera: Elateridae) in South Korea, including two species, C. berus (Candèze) and C. larvatus pini (Lewis), which have been previously reported from South Korea. In the present study, a

Bacteriomes, cryptic forms and evolution of a common wireworm pest species, Hypnoidus bicolor

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Wireworms are important agricultural pests, including Hypnoidus bicolor in the Canadian Prairies. Parthenogenetic and sexual populations of H. bicolor appear associated with different molecular clades. Bacterial community composition and structure were influenced by developmental stage, sampling location and host genetics.
