Phylogenetic analysis of the genus Laparocerus, with comments on colonisation and diversification in Macaronesia (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Entiminae) [PDF]

open access: yesZooKeys, 2017
The flightless Entiminae weevil genus Laparocerus is the species-richest genus, with 237 species and subspecies, inhabiting Macaronesia (Madeira archipelago, Selvagens, Canary Islands) and the continental ‘Macaronesian enclave’ in Morocco (one single ...

Moreiba gen. n., a new Canarian genus in Laparocerini (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) [PDF]

open access: yesZooKeys, 2013
A new genus Moreiba is described for Strophosoma canariense Franz, 1995 (type species) and placed in Laparocerini. It differs from Laparocerus Schoenherr, 1834 by the small size, the strongly transverse rostrum, the dense longitudinal strigosity on head ...

Metabarcoding for biodiversity inventory blind spots: A test case using the beetle fauna of an insular cloud forest

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 23, Page 6130-6146, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Soils harbour a rich arthropod fauna, but many species are still not formally described (Linnaean shortfall) and the distribution of those already described is poorly understood (Wallacean shortfall). Metabarcoding holds much promise to fill this gap, however, nuclear copies of mitochondrial genes, and other artefacts lead to taxonomic ...

Towards understanding insect species introduction and establishment: A community‐level barcoding approach using island beetles

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 13, Page 3778-3792, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Since Darwin put forward his opposing hypotheses to explain the successful establishment of species in areas outside their native ranges, the preadaptation and competition‐relatedness hypotheses, known as Darwin's naturalization conundrum, numerous studies have sought to understand the relative importance of each.

Community assembly and metaphylogeography of soil biodiversity: Insights from haplotype‐level community DNA metabarcoding within an oceanic island

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 15, Page 4078-4094, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Most of our understanding of island diversity comes from the study of aboveground systems, while the patterns and processes of diversification and community assembly for belowground biotas remain poorly understood. Here, we take advantage of a relatively young and dynamic oceanic island to advance our understanding of ecoevolutionary processes

Hidden island endemic species and their implications for cryptic speciation within soil arthropods

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 1367-1380, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Specialisation to the soil environment is expected to constrain the spatial scale of diversification within animal lineages. In this context, flightless arthropod lineages, adapted to soil environments, but with broad geographical ranges, represent something of an anomaly.
