Structural Diversity of Adipokinetic Hormones in the Coleopteran Suborder Polyphaga (Excluding Cucujiformia). [PDF]

open access: yesArch Insect Biochem Physiol
Adipokinetic hormones of Polyphaga beetles (minus Cucujiformia series) were sequenced and confirmed via mass spectrometry. Schgr‐AKH‐II is assumed as ancestral AKH in Coleoptera. Radiation of AKH diversity during the evolution of Scarabaeoidea. ABSTRACT Beetles are the largest animal group, in general.

Comparative assessment of satellite‐ and drone‐based vegetation indices to predict arthropod biomass in shrub‐steppes

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Arthropod biomass is a key element in ecosystem functionality and a basic food item for many species. It must be estimated through traditional costly field sampling, normally at just a few sampling points. Arthropod biomass and plant productivity should be narrowly related because a large majority of arthropods are herbivorous, and others ...

An Early Pleistocene interglacial deposit at Pingorsuit, North‐West Greenland

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 27-41, January 2023., 2023
At the Pingorsuit Glacier in North‐West Greenland, an organic‐rich deposit that had recently emerged from the retreating ice cap was discovered at an elevation of 480 m above sea level. This paper reports on macrofossil analyses of a coarse detritus gyttja and peaty soil, which occurred beneath a thin cover of till and glacifluvial deposits.

Rainforest conversion to smallholder cash crops leads to varying declines of beetles (Coleoptera) on Sumatra

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 119-131, January 2023., 2023
This study compared canopy beetle density and diversity between lowland rainforest and the three main cash crop agriculture systems in Sumatra, Indonesia: jungle rubber agroforest, and monoculture plantations of rubber and oil palm. Focusing on the four beetle families Chrysomelidae, Curculionidae, Elateridae and Staphylinidae, we demonstrate severe ...

Social media posts suggest that coconut rhinoceros beetle has established in the Western hemisphere

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 147, Issue 1, Page 19-22, February 2023., 2023
Abstract The coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB: Oryctes rhinoceros L.) is one of the most damaging pests of coconut and oil palms in the Asia/Pacific region but has not been reported from the Western Hemisphere. Here, we report a possible establishment of CRB in Nayarit, Mexico, based on an analysis of social media reports and photographs indicating the ...

Unusual teratological cases in Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea): two specimens with multiple malformations

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Entomología, 2022
We described two similar teratological cases with multiple malformations and loss of symmetry observed in specimens of Amithao decemguttatus (Waterhouse, 1876) (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) and Megaceras jason (Fabricius, 1775) (Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae ...

Diversidad de escarabajos coprófagos (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) en un remanente ribereño y un fragmento de bosque húmedo tropical en Córdoba, Colombia

open access: yesEcología Austral, 2016
La expansión de la frontera agropecuaria genera fragmentación de paisajes, disminución de hábitats y pérdida de diversidad. En estos paisajes, los remanentes de vegetación ribereña son elementos que ayudan a mantener la biodiversidad.
