Patterns of within- and among-plant variation in nectar production in the beetle-pollinated Amianthium muscaetoxicum. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Plant interactions with different pollinator species have shaped the evolution of remarkable diverse nectar production, presentation, and composition traits across the angiosperms. These traits can allow plants to manipulate and reward the behaviors of specific pollinators to enhance pollen donation and receipt with some precision. One

Larva, Pupa or Adult? The Female of Platerodrilus Case (Coleoptera: Lycidae)
Diversity, 2022 The anatomy and genitalia of a larviform female were studied for the first time in the family Lycidae. The structure of the exo- and endoskeleton of a Platerodrilus female was found to be not much different from that of its larva, with external genital ...

Cladistics, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 548-570, December 2023., 2023 Abstract This study addresses the long‐standing uncertainty about the internal classification of soldier beetles (Elateroidea: Cantharidae). Four datasets were compiled and analysed: 66 genes for 14 terminals, 15 mtDNA genes for 79 terminals, one mtDNA and two rRNA genes for 217 terminals, and barcodes for 576 terminals.

Spatial distribution of saproxylic beetles on trunks of standing Scots pine trees
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 4, Page 601-611, November 2023., 2023 Abstract The spatial distribution of saproxylic beetles landing and climbing stems of 12 grown and healthy Scots pine trees (Pinus sylvestris L.) was examined in detail during a 3‐year trial. The beetles were sampled using sticky traps attached to the tree trunk at three tree parts (i.e., the trunk base, middle part of the trunk, and trunk in crown ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 12, Page 2806-2823, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim China has dozens of well‐recognized biodiversity hotspots, but many more potential areas have not been estimated thoroughly, which is unfavourable for biodiversity conservation. Neotenic net‐winged beetles with limited dispersal ability generally occur in restricted ranges but rarely occur in China, which makes them ideal models for ...

A trait‐based plant economic framework can help increase the value of reforestation for conservation
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 The functional relationship between plant diversity and diversity of organisms in higher trophic levels is a fundamental ecological question of what is important for understanding the contribution of restoration of plant communities for conservation.
