Unraveling Biogeographic Boundaries Within the Sierra Madre Oriental, México: An Endemicity Analysis Using a Taxonomically Diverse Dataset. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe provide boundaries of the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico through a multi‐taxa endemicity analysis. ABSTRACT The Sierra Madre Oriental (SMO) is a significant mountain range and one of Mexico's 14 biogeographical provinces. Its delimitation has been debated.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 672-686, October 2023., 2023 Phylogenetic analyses of > 4,000 genes of more than 50 species of Scarabaeoidea supports monophyly of Scarabaeidae and confirms sister group relationship of dung beetles and phytophagous pleurostict scarabs. Supermatrix‐based maximum likelihood and multispecies coalescent phylogenetic analyses confirm paraphyly of Melolonthinae. We consequently suggest

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.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 784-797, October 2021., 2021 We addressed the numbers, kinds and evolution of cerambycid plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) by surveying larval midgut transcriptomes from 23 species representing six of the eight recognized subfamilies of Cerambycidae. We identified 340 new putative PCWDEs belonging to ten carbohydrate active enzyme families, including two gene families ...

Isolation of Fungi and Bacteria Associated with the Guts of Tropical Wood-Feeding Coleoptera and Determination of Their Lignocellulolytic Activities. [PDF]
Int J Microbiol, 2015 The guts of beetle larvae constitute a complex system where relationships among fungi, bacteria, and the insect host occur. In this study, we collected larvae of five families of wood‐feeding Coleoptera in tropical forests of Costa Rica, isolated fungi and bacteria from their intestinal tracts, and determined the presence of five different pathways for

Trophic egg provisioning in a passalid beetle (Coleoptera)
European Journal of Entomology, 2008 Trophic eggs, which are not viable and eaten by larvae, are produced by the passalid beetle Cylindrocaulus patalis. This is the first record of trophic eggs in subsocial Coleoptera. There are differences in the morphology of trophic and fertile eggs; the

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 In the present paper, we make a first report on the complete mitochondrial DNA genome of Leptaulax koreanus, a Korean endemic species, in Passalidae. The mitogenome is 18,730 base pairs with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a 4240 bp long ...
