Monitoring arthropods under the scope of LIFE-SNAILS project: I - Santa Maria Island baseline data with implementation of the Index of Biotic Integrity [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal
The database we introduce is a pivotal component of the LIFE SNAILS project (Support and Naturalisation in Areas of Importance for Land Snails). This initiative is dedicated to safeguarding three endangered species of terrestrial molluscs, specifically ...

Larval morphology of Scydmaenus tarsatus and S. hellwigii, with notes on feeding behaviour and a review of the bibliography on the preimaginal stages of ant-like stone beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2012
Morphology of mature larvae of two Central European species of Scydmaenus Latreille is described and illustrated: S. (s. str.) tarsatus Müller & Kunze and S. (Cholerus) hellwigii (Herbst). Inaccuracies in previous descriptions of S.

Supplement to the Staphylinidae fauna of Crete and the Aegean Islands, Greece (Coleoptera) [PDF]

open access: yesContributions to Entomology, 2022
Recent field trips to Crete, Samos, and Rhodos, as well as a revision of other material from various collections yielded numerous additional records, species, and taxonomic changes for the Staphylinidae faunas of Crete and the Aegean Islands.

Two species of the genus Euconnus Thomson (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae) new to Korea

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2023
The genus Euconnus Thomson (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae) includes four species in Korea. In this study, E. (s. str.) fustiger and E. (s. str.) dulcis are recorded for the first time Korea and E. (Cladoconnus) rudimentalis is redescribed. As a

Understanding the Coleoptera community at the tree‐line using taxonomic and functional guild approaches

open access: yesAgricultural 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 ...

Pleistocene environments, climate, and human activity in Britain during Marine Isotope Stage 7: insights from Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire

open access: yesJournal 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.

Image‐based taxonomic classification of bulk insect biodiversity samples using deep learning and domain adaptation

open access: yesSystematic 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 ...

Micro‐habitat drivers of saproxylic beetle assemblages in old woodlands of Mediterranean cork oak (Quercus suber)

open access: yesAgricultural 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 ...

The thoracic anatomy of Pselaphus heisei (Pselaphinae, Staphylinidae, Coleoptera)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Upper part: SEM micrographs of Pselaphus heisei, lateral view; Lower part: 3D reconstructions of thoracic muscles of Pselaphus heisei, mesal view. Abstract We document external and internal thoracic structures of the free‐living pselaphine beetle Pselaphus heisei (Pselaphitae) using a set of traditional and modern techniques.
