Abstract Dung beetles are considered a key element in ecosystems as they are involved in many ecological processes, being one of the main decomposers of organic matter in the landscape. They can be classified into 3 subfamilies: Aphodiinae, Geotrupinae and Scarabaeinae, with each subfamily exhibiting specific adaptations and evolutionary strategies ...

Among Scarabaeoidea, pollen feeding occurs in two major lineages, pleurostict Scarabaeidae and Glaphyridae. Here we infer for the first time the phylogeny of the scarabaeoid lineage Glaphyridae (Coleoptera) based on molecular data using partial gene ...

In the study of the chemical communication of adults of the Melolonthidae family, bacteria have been observed in the epithelium of the genital chamber; possibly, bacteria are involved in the production of sex attractants in their hosts.

Abstract Understanding the spatiotemporal distribution of diversity has been a significant challenge in the field of conservation biology. Presently, there exists a limited understanding of the spatial distribution of passalid beetles within decomposing logs, as well as their distribution in microhabitats such as the cortex, heartwood and trunk–soil ...

The fauna of lamellicorn beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) of Azerbaijan
A checklist of the Scarabaeoidea of Azerbaijan is given for the first time. In total 298 species and 12 subspecies of scrarab beetles are registered for Azerbaijan, from which Sinodendron cylindricum (Linnaeus, 1758), Bodilus insperatus (Petrovitz, 1967) and Amphimallon circassicum Brenske, 1894 are recorded for the country for the first time.

Our study compiled and analysed spatio‐temporal species' extirpation on a broad taxonomic coverage at the city scale. We revealed high number of extirpations, which are in the twenty‐firstcentury already comparable with previous centuries, and showed that cities might be suitable systems for studying species' extirpation processes due to their small ...

The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic
Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...
