In this study we describe a new species of the click-beetle genus Lacon Laporte, 1838 from the relict Hyrcanian forest in northern Iran. Lacon mertliki sp. nov. is morphologically similar to L.

This is the first phylogenomic study of Omethidae using genome skimming, sampling representatives of all subfamilies to resolve long‐standing conflicts between morphology‐ and multigene‐based hypotheses. Phylogenomic analyses recovered Omethidae sister to Artematopodidae and strongly support Telegeusinae as a subfamily of Omethidae, rejecting its ...

The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation
ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close

Our study compiled and analysed spatio‐temporal species' extirpation on a broad taxonomic coverage at the city scale. We revealed high number of extirpations, which are in the twenty‐firstcentury already comparable with previous centuries, and showed that cities might be suitable systems for studying species' extirpation processes due to their small ...

The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic
Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the jewel beetle Coraebus cavifrons (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the jewel beetle, Coraebus cavifrons, was sequenced and described in the present study. The mitogenome of Coraebus cavifrons is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15,686 bp.
