Molecular phylogeny reveals high diversity, geographic structure and limited ranges in neotenic net-winged beetles platerodrilus (coleoptera: lycidae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The neotenic Platerodrilus net-winged beetles have strongly modified development where females do not pupate and retain larval morphology when sexually mature.

The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic

Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 355-388, July 2024.
Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

Generalist southern African temperate forest canopy tree species have distinct pollinator communities partially predicted by floral traits

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2024.
Pollination systems of tall forest trees are poorly studied, resulting from the difficulties in observing pollinator activity at canopy level and great temporal variation in flower production. Here, we observed insect flower visitors, at canopy level, to four southern Afrotemperate forest tree species bearing small, white to green flowers in a large ...

Multi-trait mimicry of ants by a parasitoid wasp [PDF]

, 2015
Many animals avoid attack from predators through toxicity or the emission of repellent chemicals. Defensive mimicry has evolved in many species to deceive shared predators, for instance through colouration and other morphological adaptations, but mimicry

Parataxonomy: a test case using beetles [PDF]

, 2006
The present study examines the utility of parataxonomic sorting (groupings of similar individuals, categorized by non-experts, relying on features of external morphology) using data from a study of beetle communities in four forest habitats in Nova ...
