An enigmatic Cretaceous beetle with possible affinity to Erotylidae (Coleoptera: Cucujiformia)

Current Research in Insect Science
The morphology of beetles of the recently defined superfamilies Erotyloidea, Nitiduloidea and Cucujoidea is varied. Determining the systematic positions of Mesozoic fossils within these groups can often be challenging.

Erotylina Curran (Coleoptera, Erotylidae, Erotylini): redescription of type species, potential species groups and diversity of color patterns

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
The colorful genus Erotylina Curran was proposed to include a group of species originally described in Erotylus Fabricius but differing by the lack of three longitudinal carinae on the tibiae. The taxonomy of Erotylina is mostly based on coloration while

Micro‐habitat drivers of saproxylic beetle assemblages in old woodlands of Mediterranean cork oak (Quercus suber)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 1, Page 77-90, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Cork oak landscapes are fascinating ecosystems, historically managed for cork extraction. The persistence in this habitat of many hollow veteran trees provides suitable micro‐habitats for saproxylic beetles. We investigated the saproxylic beetle community of two isolated cork oak woodlands of central Italy with different degree of recovery ...

The value of hybrid and non‐native ash for the conservation of ash specialists is limited following late stages of emerald ash borer invasion

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 355-370, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Widespread mortality of native North American ash caused by emerald ash borer (EAB; Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) threatens native arthropod biodiversity, but hybrid ash populations with resistance to EAB may serve a role in supporting threatened communities of arthropods in managed landscapes impacted by EAB.
