Origin and evolution of fungus farming in wood‐boring Coleoptera – a palaeontological perspective

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 6, Page 2476-2488, December 2021., 2021
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 ...

Multistate Characters and Diet Shifts: Evolution of Erotylidae (Coleoptera) [PDF]

open access: yesSystematic Biology, 2007
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 ...
