Linking Environmental Gradients, Functional Traits, and Phylogenetic Structure in Meloidae (Coleoptera) Assemblages of Inner Western Anatolia

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) exhibit complex life cycles, strong host dependencies, and unusual dispersal strategies, yet community‐level ecological analyses remain rare. We aimed to identify the environmental drivers of Meloidae assemblage structure and species richness, assess whether species responses are taxonomically ...

Male‐Biased Adult Mortality in the Great Bustard Is Consistent With High Reproductive Costs and Aggravated by Anthropogenic Impact

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Annual survival of great bustards (Otis tarda) was lower in males than in females, with minimum values just after the mating and incubation period, respectively, a pattern that is consistent with the reproductive cost hypothesis. Survival was lower in Madrid, a highly anthropized region (males: 0.874, females: 0.931), than in Villafáfila, where good ...

Rarity of blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) in Southern Africa correlates with their phylogeny and trophic habits, but not body size

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
Ecologists have identified several correlates of biological rarity in animals. Among the various correlates identified so far, three are explored in this paper: (a) abundance is correlated with absolute body size in animals; (b) phylogenetically ...

Cantharidin world on bird droppings: Reused cantharidin after bird predation of cantharidin‐producing insects

open access: yesEntomological Science, Volume 28, Issue 4, December 2025.
Cantharidin is produced only by beetles of Meloidae and Oedemeridae families and is a rare resource for canthariphilous insects that ingest fluids and/or portions of living and even dead meloid and oedemerid beetles. This study reports that the canthariphilous insects also use cantharidin that remains in bird droppings produced after eating meloid or ...

Blister Beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera: Meloidae)

open access: yesEDIS, 2004
The family Meloidae, blister beetles, contains about 2500 species, divided among 80 genera and three subfamilies. Florida has 26 species, only a small fraction of the total number in the U.S., but nearly three times that in the West Indies (Selander and

Phylogenomics and revised classification of Lymexyloidea and Tenebrionoidea (Coleoptera: Polyphaga: Cucujiformia)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 794-812, October 2025.
Using a large‐scale phylogenomic dataset, we provide the robustly supported phylogeny of the wider Tenebrionoid clade, with Lymexyloidea sister to the mordelloid clade (Mordellidae and Ripiphoridae) + remaining Tenebrionoidea. Lymexyloidea contained two newly circumscribed families, each of them with two subfamilies, and both Mordellidae and ...

Identidad y estatus taxonómico de Sitaris lativentris Schaufuss, 1861 y Sitaris melanurus Küster, 1849, dos enigmáticos táxones ibéricos (Coleoptera, Meloidae)

open access: yesGraellsia, 2013
La amplia varibilidad morfológica en Nemognathinae a menudo ha originado una proliferación en la descripción de especies distintas. La mayoría de la especies de Nemognathinae rara vez se encuentran en la naturaleza y algunas sólo son conocidas por los ...
