The European Stag Beetle (Lucanus cervus) Monitoring Network: International Citizen Science Cooperation Reveals Regional Differences in Phenology and Temperature Response [PDF]
Insects, 2021 To address the decline in biodiversity, international cooperation in monitoring of threatened species is needed. Citizen science can play a crucial role in achieving this challenging goal, but most citizen science projects have been established at ...

Relative Contribution of Citizen Science, Museum Data and Publications in Delineating the Distribution of the Stag Beetle in Spain [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Reliable distribution maps are in the basis of insect conservation, but detailed chorological information is lacking for many insects of conservation concern (the Wallacean shortfall).

Establish a simple and quantitative deep learning-based method to analyse complicated intra- and inter-species social interaction behaviour for four stag beetle species [PDF]
Open BiologyStag beetles (Lucanidae) exhibit diverse social behaviours, yet quantifying these interactions remains challenging. Understanding social interactions within and between species is crucial for comprehending their behaviour, ecology and evolution.

Allometry and Fighting Behaviour of a Dimorphic Stag Beetle Cyclommatus mniszechi (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Male stag beetles (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) use their mandibles as weapons to compete for resources and reproduction. Mandible size in stag beetles can be associated with different behaviours and the outcome of male contests. We investigated the allometric

Divergence in Gut Bacterial Community Among Life Stages of the Rainbow Stag Beetle Phalacrognathus muelleri (Coleptera: Lucanidae) [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Although stag beetles are popular saprophytic insects, there are few studies about their gut bacterial community. This study focused on the gut bacterial community structure of the rainbow stag beetle (i.e., Phalacrognathus muelleri) in its larvae (three

The complete mitochondrial genome of stag beetle Lucanus cervus (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) and phylogenetic analysis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background The stag beetle Lucanus cervus (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) is widely distributed in Europe. Habitat loss and fragmentation has led to significant reductions in numbers of this species.

Sociality improves larval growth in the stag beetle Figulus binodulus (Coleoptera: Lucanidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2009 The benefits for offspring of attendant adult were investigated in the stag beetle Figulus binodulus. The initial growth rate of third-instar larva was significantly higher when the larvae were in a nest with adults compared to those in a nest without ...

Genetic structure of recently fragmented suburban populations of European stag beetle [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Habitat loss and fragmentation due to urbanization can negatively affect metapopulation persistence when gene flow among populations is reduced and population sizes decrease.
