Assessment of the DNA barcode libraries for the study of the poorly-known rove beetle (Staphylinidae) fauna of West Siberia [PDF]
Staphylinidae, or rove beetles, are one of the mega-diverse and abundant families of the ground-living terrestrial arthropods that is taxonomically poorly known even in the regions adjacent to Europe where the fauna has been investigated for the longest ...

Identification of (+)-7R-Actinidine and its Biosynthetic Pathway in Rove beetles, Cafius spp. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) [PDF]
Actinidine, a terpene alkaloid, is commonly found in various plants and insects. However, in recent years, it has been suggested that the presence of actinidine in these organisms may be due to artifacts resulting from heating during sample preparation ...

Seasonal dynamics of dominant species of soil predators (Coleoptera: Carabidae, Staphylinidae) in agrolandscapes and their potential gluttony [PDF]
We studied the seasonal change in the number of dominant species of predatory beetles on vegetable crops and determined their potential gluttony. A total of 1,472 beetles were collected, belonging to 22 species of ground beetles (Carabidae) and 27 ...
