Genome sequencing provides insights into the evolution of gene families encoding plant cell wall‐degrading enzymes in longhorned beetles

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 469-483, October 2023., 2023
Cerambycidae genomes encode an arsenal of horizontally‐acquired plant cell wall‐degrading enzymes. Most of the PCWDE‐encoding genes of bacterial origin gained introns after their transfer into the beetle genome, and are surrounded by typical insect genes and/or transposable elements.

A summary of the endemic beetle genera of the West Indies (Insecta: Coleoptera); bioindicators of the evolutionary richness of this Neotropical archipelago [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Caribbean Islands (or the West Indies) are recognized as one of the leading global biodiversity hot spots. This is based on data on species, genus, and family diversity for vascular plants and non-marine vertebrates.

Cradle for the newborn Monochamus saltuarius: Microbial associates to ward off entomopathogens and disarm plant defense

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 1165-1182, August 2023., 2023
Longicorn beetles in the subfamily Lamiinae are uniparous with a habit of laying their eggs in oviposition pits built through cumbersome steps. This behavior has been shown to help manage the population's spatial distribution and prevent intraspecific competition.

An Annotated List of the Cerambycidae of Michigan (Coleoptera) Part II, the Subfamilies Lepturinae and Lamiinae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
(excerpt) This is a continuation of Part I of an annotated list of the Cerambycidae known from Michigan, and includes the remaining subfamilies Lepturinae and Lamiinae. The format is similar to that used in Part I. We have largely followed the systematic

Ovipositional behaviour and larval performance of Trichoferus campestris (Faldermann) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) on cut branches of four North American tree species

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 391-403, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Velvet longhorned beetle Trichoferus campestris (Faldermann) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is native to Asia. It is reported to be polyphagous in its native range, but hosts have not been screened in its introduced range in the United States. We conducted choice and no‐choice host experiments. For choice assays, gravid T.

Preliminary checklist of the Cerambycidae, Disteniidae, and Vesperidae (Coleoptera) of Peru [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A preliminary checklist of the Cerambycidae, Disteniidae, and Vesperidae (Coleoptera) of Peru is presented. Within Cerambycidae, we record five subfamilies, 55 tribes, 345 genera and subgenera, and 714 species.

How many cooperators are too many? Foundress number, reproduction and sex ratio in a quasi‐social parasitoid

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 566-579, August 2022., 2022
Multiple Sclerodermus foundresses care for communal broods on large hosts. For 10–55 foundresses, increasing group size increases brood failure and decreases per capita success. Broods usually fail in the early stages with possible competition among foundresses via reproductive dominance and infanticide.
