Rove Beetle Blistering - (Nairobi Eye)
Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, 1993'Nairobi Eye' is a condition caused by a blister beetle, Paederus eximius, found in Northern Kenya. It has not previously been described as a hazard for troops exercising in this area. Four cases are described. Recommended management is to wash the contact area initially with soap and water, and to treat subsequent lesions with flamazine.

Chemical defense of a rove beetle (Creophilus maxillosus)
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1983The abdominal defensive glands ofC. maxillosus secrete a mixture (70μg/beetle) of isoamyl alcohol (I), isoamyl acetate (II), iridodial (III), actinidine (IV), dihydronepetalactone (VE), and (E)-8-oxocitronellyl acetate (X). When disturbed, the beetle everts the glands and revolves the abdomen so as to wipe the glands against the offending agent.

Iridoid biosynthesis in staphylinid rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae, Philonthinae)
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2001The biosynthesis of chrysomelidial and plagiodial was studied in the rove beetle subtribe Philonthina (Staphylinidae). Glandular homogenates were found to convert synthetic (2E,6E)-[trideuteromethyl-5,5-(2)H(5)]octa-2,6-diene-1,8-diol (10) into nor-chrysomelidial (14) and nor-plagiodial (13).

Defensive secretions of three oxytelinae rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1982The secretions of the abdominal glands ofBledius spectabilis Kraatz,Platystethus arenarius Fourcr., andOxytelus piceus L. have been shown to contain four 1-alkenes; toluquinone; toluhydroquinone; C10 (-)-,C11 (-), C12 (-)-, and C14 (-) γ-lactones; C12-δ-lactone; citral; and decyl-, undecyl-, and dodecyl acetates.

Introduction to the Biology of Rove Beetles
2018A short overview of the evolution of rove beetles is given to introduce to the reader the topics contained in the book. Additional subjects are distribution, behavior, ecology, bioindication, ecomorphology, and development. The morphological diversity of rove beetles is presented based on the diversity of their ecological niches.

Rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) in northern Nearctic forests
The Canadian Entomologist, 2008AbstractRove beetles are useful subjects for Nearctic forest biodiversity work because they are abundant, diverse, and easily collected, and have strong habitat affinities. Excellent identification keys exist for most groups, although there is a dearth of ecological and life-history information.

Strange Wing Folding in a Rove Beetle
2019This chapter focuses on the strange wing folding in rove beetles and shows its interesting properties from the point of view of engineering applications. Compared with other typical beetles, the elytra of most rove beetles are reduced, and the projecting abdomen is exposed and freely movable.
