Delimiting species, revealing cryptic diversity, and population divergence in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau weevils through DNA barcoding. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe Leptomias huangi Chao, 1981 mating on Bidens sp. (Asterales: Asteraceae). Abstract The Leptomias group represents one of the most diverse taxonomic group of weevils in the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau and its adjacent areas. Despite the potential of hidden diversity, relatively few comprehensive studies have been conducted on species diversity in this ...

Ecology, Volume 104, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 Abstract It is commonly expected that exotic plants experience reduced herbivory, but experimental evidence for such enemy release is still controversial. One reason for conflicting results might be that community context has rarely been accounted for, although the surrounding plant diversity may moderate enemy release.

Comparative assessment of heat tolerance in weevils associated with a fire‐prone ecosystem
Ecological Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 240-250, April 2023., 2023 The fire prone ecosystems of the cape floristic region host a high diversity of small apterous weevils. It is not known how these low mobility species cope with the extreme temperatures experienced. We carried out a first screening of the heat tolerance of several apterous weevil species in comparison to winged species with contrasting lifestyles.

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 724-740, November 2022., 2022 Abstract The Cape Floristic Region in the Republic of South Africa is a well‐recognized hotspot of biodiversity. Although this region is mostly known for its high level of plant diversity and endemicity, it also hosts an understudied and likely diverse arthropod fauna.

Advanced Science, Volume 9, Issue 26, September 15, 2022., 2022 Interference in structurally ordered materials gives rise to brilliant colors in nature while disorder is thought to destroy color. Yet, many insects employ quasi‐ordered structures to generate brilliant colors. Here, the order–disorder interplay in the biophotonic materials of an Easter Egg weevil is demonstrated through 3D electron‐microscopy‐based ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 We investigate if genomic bacterial and laboratory contamination is introduced into ultraconserved element (UCE) probe design from five novel Coleoptera museum specimens. Our findings indicate that even very clean samples have contamination that is carried into the UCE probe design.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 4-24, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is regarded as a keystone plant species. Trophic interactions may affect the distribution and abundance of phytophagous species, but the number of arthropod species that use holm oak as a food resource and their levels of host specificity are not yet known.
