Origin and evolution of fungus farming in wood‐boring Coleoptera – a palaeontological perspective
ABSTRACT Insect–fungus mutualism is one of the better‐studied symbiotic interactions in nature. Ambrosia fungi are an ecological assemblage of unrelated fungi that are cultivated by ambrosia beetles in their galleries as obligate food for larvae. Despite recently increased research interest, it remains unclear which ecological factors facilitated the ...

Possible fungus-eating cucujiformian beetle larvae with setiferous processes from Cretaceous and Miocene ambers [PDF]
Beetle larvae represent important components of the modern-day fauna. This should have been the case in the past as well. Yet, fossil beetle larvae are rare, or at least are rare in the literature, as identifying a beetle larva to a narrower taxonomic ...

Multistate Characters and Diet Shifts: Evolution of Erotylidae (Coleoptera) [PDF]
The dominance of angiosperms has played a direct role in the diversification of insects, especially Coleoptera. The shift to angiosperm feeding from other diets is likely to have increased the rate of speciation in Phytophaga. However, Phytophaga is only one of many hyperdiverse lineages of beetles and studies of host-shift proliferation have been ...
