The coconut hispine beetle, Brontispa longissima shows, aggregation in the field. To elucidate the effect of aggregation on larval developmental aspects, we examined the effects of larval density on various aspects of larval development and on survival rates. Recently we found that B.

In this study, we examined latitudinal gradients in species richness and body size among 425 saproxylic beetle species from 28 oak forest sites spanning from Israel to Norway. Our analyses show that taxonomic identity and trophic group both mediate latitudinal patterns, with several families displaying mid‐latitude diversity peaks and ...

Fungal garden making inside bamboos by a non-social fungus-growing beetle. [PDF]
In fungus-growing mutualism, it is indispensable for host animals to establish gardens of the symbiotic fungus as rapidly as possible. How to establish fungal gardens has been well-documented in social fungus-farming insects, whereas poorly documented in

Thickness of woody tissue of host plants may affect behaviors of wood‐using insects that excavate the woody tissue during oviposition. Here we report that females of Doubledaya bucculenta (Coleoptera, Erotylidae, Languriinae) prefer thin‐walled areas of bamboo internodes for oviposition.

Chemical ecology of symbioses in cycads, an ancient plant lineage
Summary Cycads are an ancient lineage of gymnosperms that maintain a plethora of symbiotic associations from across the tree of life. They have myriad morphological, structural, physiological, chemical, and behavioral adaptations that position them as a unique system to study the evolution, ecology, and mechanism of symbiosis.
