Beyond Dung: Attractiveness of Native and Exotic Fruits to Dung Beetles in the Brazilian Savanna

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Dietary breadth enhances animal resilience in environments where resources are unpredictable or declining, enabling species to exploit alternative food sources when primary ones are scarce. In dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae), frugivory is an increasingly recognised foraging strategy, particularly in tropical regions experiencing ...

The beetles of St. Lucia, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): diversity and distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The published beetle fauna of the island of St. Lucia is summarized. It contains 135 genera, and 175 species in 25 families. Four species are accidentally introduced by human activities. Twenty three species are endemic (restricted) to the island. Twenty

Complementary genomic and morphological data elucidate the phylogeny of obscure darkling beetles (Blaptinae: Platynotini: Eurynotina)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
First comprehensive phylogenomic study of subtribe Eurynotina using a combined dataset of 499 nuclear loci, 12 mitochondrial loci and 91 morphological characters covering all genera and species groups is presented. Eurynotina is monophyletic and genera within are redefined based on reassessment of old characters, generation of new characters, and ...

A new genus for the Neotropical species of Aesalus Fabricius, with descriptions of eight new species (Coleoptera: Lucanidae: Aesalinae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Neotropical members of the genus Aesalus Fabricius (Coleoptera: Lucanidae: Aesalinae) are transferred to a new genus, Trogellus, due to their morphological dissimilarity and molecular divergence from the Old World species of Aesalus, and the new ...

Phylogenomics‐based click‐beetle classification tackles multiple origins of phenotypic modifications

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Using a concatenated dataset consisting of new genomic data from 73 species across 40 click‐beetle tribes and an earlier published, smaller dataset, we conducted the first 4200‐ortholog study targeting the phylogeny of Elateridae with the highest resolution to date.

Climate Change‐Induced Distribution Shifts of Keratin‐Feeding Beetle Omorgus (Omorgus) suberosus: Implications for Olive Ridley Sea Turtle Lepidochelys olivacea Conservation

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 803-816, December 2025.
Our study projects significant climate change‐induced distribution shifts of a keratin‐feeding beetle Omorgus suberosus, with expansions into higher latitudes in Europe and North America and notable habitat losses in tropical regions by 2100. Ecological niche models predict a global habitat reduction of 9.5% under SSP2–4.5 and 20.8% under SSP5–8.5 ...

How Do Morphological Traits and Abundance Reflect the Effects of Land Use Change in a Seasonal Floodable Savannah? A Dung Beetle Case in the Brazilian Pantanal

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 12, Page 1268-1277, December 2025.
We investigated the effects of land‐use change on the abundance and morphological traits (body mass, pronotum ratios, protibial size, elytra ratio, and pronotum–abdomen proportion) of two dung beetle species (Dichotomius bos and D. nisus) in the Brazilian Pantanal.
