Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Heathland restoration using topsoil removal provides an ideal scenario to study colonization processes of soil fauna. We quantitatively assessed passive dispersal of oribatid mites via phoresy using small rodents and compared it to other reported host groups.

Historical biogeography of New World Passalidae
, 2022 Aim: The fauna of Mesoamerica is extraordinarily species rich and exhibits a high degree of local, regional, and high-elevation endemism. Traditionally, this area has been seen as a transition zone between the Nearctic and Neotropical regions; in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Contribuição ao conhecimento da bionomia de Passalus convexus Dalman, 1817 e Passalus latifrons Percheron, 1841 (Coleoptera: Passalidae) [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 1988 Coleópteros da família Passalidae, com distribuição pantropical, parecem contribuir, pelo menos em parte, para a reciclagem dos nutrientes nas florestas, facilitando a penetração de umidade e de microorganismos decompositores no interior dos troncos ...

Passalid (Insecta: Coleoptera: Passalidae) collected from trunks of Scleronema micranthum (Malvaceae) [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2017 Some beetles can attack the wood immediately after the tree is felled, but there are those that start their attack at different stages of wood degradation. Beetles of the family Passalidae belong to this latest category.
