The thoracic anatomy of Pselaphus heisei (Pselaphinae, Staphylinidae, Coleoptera) [PDF]
Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 1, January 2023., 2022 We document external and internal thoracic structures of the free‐living pselaphine beetle Pselaphus heisei (Pselaphitae) using a set of traditional and modern techniques.

Arthropod abundances track soil fertility across a lowland tropical forest landscape. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThis study reveals strong, diverse associations between soil phosphorus and the abundances of understorey arthropods across a lowland tropical forest landscape. These patterns were not paralleled in an adjacent site‐level fertilisation experiment, raising the interesting possibility that arthropod–phosphorus associations could be mediated by spatial ...

Cretaceous origin of the unique prey-capture apparatus in mega-diverse genus: stem lineage of Steninae rove beetles discovered in Burmese amber. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Stenus is the largest genus of rove beetles and the second largest among animals. Its evolutionary success was associated with the adhesive labial prey-capture apparatus, a unique apomorphy of that genus.

Evidence for social parasitism of early insect societies by Cretaceous rove beetles. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2016 The evolution of eusociality in ants and termites propelled both insect groups to their modern ecological dominance. Yet, eusociality also fostered the evolution of social parasitism—an adverse symbiosis, in which the superorganismal colonies formed by ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 4, Page 669-680, November 2023., 2023 Understanding the effects of elevation and other forest characteristics on saproxylic and non‐saproxylic Coleoptera is a step towards predicting the future of functional group and taxonomic biodiversity at the tree‐line and on mountains. Our results suggest that abundance of saprotrophs is closely linked to the density of large trees rather than the ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 840-865, August 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Investigations at Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire, in western England have revealed a sequence of fluvial deposits dating from Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 7 to 5. At the base of the sequence, a series of gravel and sand facies were deposited, initially as part of a meandering river.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 387-401, July 2023., 2023 We evaluated deep learning models for image classification under a realistic setting of biodiversity surveys, where models trained with global image sources predict samples from an unstudied target area. The accuracy of between‐datasets predictions (across disparate source–target pairs that do not share any species) was 82% and depended greatly on the ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 1, Page 77-90, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Cork oak landscapes are fascinating ecosystems, historically managed for cork extraction. The persistence in this habitat of many hollow veteran trees provides suitable micro‐habitats for saproxylic beetles. We investigated the saproxylic beetle community of two isolated cork oak woodlands of central Italy with different degree of recovery ...

Analysis and comparison of three Coleoptera families in organic and conventional orchards within the Etna Regional Park (Catania, Sicily) [PDF]
, 2017 The objective of this work was to compare two agricultural management systems, organic and conventional, in the Etna Regional Park. The influence in both spatial and temporal dimensions, that natural habitats adjacent to these two different managed ...
