Identifying Priority Habitats for Dung Beetle Conservation: Taxonomic and Functional Responses Across a Land-Use Disturbance Gradient. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Anthropogenic land‐use change and resource exploitation are driving declines in dung beetle communities, highlighting the need to identify priority habitats and species for conservation. This study assessed taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetles across a land‐use disturbance gradient and different dung types using dung‐baited pitfall traps.

Structural Diversity of Adipokinetic Hormones in the Coleopteran Suborder Polyphaga (Excluding Cucujiformia). [PDF]

Arch Insect Biochem Physiol
Adipokinetic hormones of Polyphaga beetles (minus Cucujiformia series) were sequenced and confirmed via mass spectrometry. Schgr‐AKH‐II is assumed as ancestral AKH in Coleoptera. Radiation of AKH diversity during the evolution of Scarabaeoidea. ABSTRACT Beetles are the largest animal group, in general.

A transcriptome‐based phylogeny of Scarabaeoidea confirms the sister group relationship of dung beetles and phytophagous pleurostict scarabs (Coleoptera)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 672-686, October 2023., 2023
Phylogenetic analyses of > 4,000 genes of more than 50 species of Scarabaeoidea supports monophyly of Scarabaeidae and confirms sister group relationship of dung beetles and phytophagous pleurostict scarabs. Supermatrix‐based maximum likelihood and multispecies coalescent phylogenetic analyses confirm paraphyly of Melolonthinae. We consequently suggest

Pleistocene environments, climate, and human activity in Britain during Marine Isotope Stage 7: insights from Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 840-865, August 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Investigations at Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire, in western England have revealed a sequence of fluvial deposits dating from Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 7 to 5. At the base of the sequence, a series of gravel and sand facies were deposited, initially as part of a meandering river.

Consumer or Decomposer? Behavioral and Morphological Diagnosis of White Grubs. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Determining the ecological role of insect larvae is crucial for pest control and resource utilization, relying on effective behavioral or morphological identification traits. This study uses an improved six‐armed olfactometer to analyze the feeding habits of two sympatric white grubs and the correlated morphological traits, including the sensory ...
