Cryptic, sibling or neither of the two? Integrative species delimitation of Psylliodes flea beetles with overlapping ranges

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 235-248, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Species identification and delimitation are particularly challenging for morphologically similar and geographically overlapping species, such as in the case of Western Palaearctic flea beetle species Psylliodes kiesenwetteri Kutschera, 1864 and Psylliodes ruffoi Leonardi, 1975.

Invasion of the coccinellid community associated with a tropical annual agroecosystem

Ecological Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 174-185, April 2023., 2023
Harmonia axyridis has not dominated the aphidophagous coccinellid community in tropical Brazil 9 years after first detection. Hippodamia convergens had the broadest prey niche and dominated the prey niche of Harmonia axyridis. The community matrix indicated that the present‐day coccinellid community was stable to invasion by Harmonia axyridis. Abstract

Rainforest conversion to smallholder cash crops leads to varying declines of beetles (Coleoptera) on Sumatra

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 119-131, January 2023., 2023
This study compared canopy beetle density and diversity between lowland rainforest and the three main cash crop agriculture systems in Sumatra, Indonesia: jungle rubber agroforest, and monoculture plantations of rubber and oil palm. Focusing on the four beetle families Chrysomelidae, Curculionidae, Elateridae and Staphylinidae, we demonstrate severe ...

Does diet breadth affect the complexity of the phytophagous insect microbiota? The case study of Chrysomelidae

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 3565-3579, August 2022., 2022
Summary Chrysomelidae is a family of phytophagous insects with a highly variable degree of trophic specialization. The aim of this study is to test whether species feeding on different plants (generalists) harbour more complex microbiotas than those feeding on a few or a single plant species (specialists).

Landscape heterogeneity filters functional traits of rice arthropods in tropical agroecosystems

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 3, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Biological control services of agroecosystems depend on the functional diversity of species traits. However, the relationship between arthropod traits and landscape heterogeneity is still poorly understood, especially in tropical rice agroecosystems, which harbor a high diversity of often specialized species.

Hiding among holes: mechanisms underlying the evolution of masquerade in flea beetles (Chrysomelidae)

Ecological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 137-145, April 2022., 2022
Flea beetles present a masquerading strategy: similarities between beetle bodies and their feeding damage may act as a defence that reduces detection by visual predators. We assess two hypotheses about the evolutionary origin of the masquerading: (H1) the plant leaves' characteristics select beetle morphology; (H2) beetle morphology selects feeding ...
