Harvesting the Casualties of War: <i>Macrogerodonia peruviana</i> Rove Beetles Prey Exclusively Upon Wounded <i>Trigona</i> spp. Stingless Bees (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae; Hymenoptera: Apidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe report a previously undescribed trophic interaction in which Macrogerodonia peruviana rove beetles prey exclusively on wounded or recently killed Trigona stingless bees generated during aggressive conflicts at carrion. Field observations and choice experiments showed that beetles selectively targeted injured Trigona while ignoring carrion and other ...

Deep-Time Convergence in Rove Beetle Symbionts of Army Ants [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Recent adaptive radiations provide striking examples of convergence [1-4], but the predictability of evolution over much deeper timescales is controversial, with a scarcity of ancient clades exhibiting repetitive patterns of phenotypic evolution [5, 6].
