An analysis of the stag beetle genus lissotes in Tasmania

2006
Little is known about the extraordinarily rich Tasmanian beetle genus Lissotes, belonging to the ancient Stag Beetle family Lucanidae. No less than 25 described species are known to be endemic to Tasmania, with three species known in Victoria. In Tasmania a number of rare Lissotes beetles are threatened due to land clearing, including forest practices ...

Relative Growth of Mandibles in Stag-Beetles (Lucanidae)*.

Journal of the Linnean Society of London, Zoology, 1931
SUMMARY. 1 Linear measurements of length of mandibles and body (or. elytron) made by Brindley, myself, and Dudich, respectively, in the males of three species of Lucanidae, have been analysed. It is shown that the simple heterogony formula y=bx“, where y= mandible-length, x=” total “length (mandiblelength+body-length), and b and k are constants ...

A checklist of stag beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Lucanidae) from Iran

Zootaxa, 2014
An updated checklist of the Lucanidae (Coleoptera) from Iran is given. New locality records are listed and some dubious distributional records are discussed. Dorcus vavrai Nonfried, 1905 is placed in synonymy with Dorcus peyronis Reiche and Saulcy, 1856 (new synonymy) The female of Lucanus xerxes Král, 2004 is described. A key for the identification of

Diversity and Ecology of Stag Beetles (Lucanidae)

2018
The beetle family Lucanidae contains over 1200 described species worldwide, with the highest diversity found in Southeast Asia. Most species are saproxylic, with larvae feeding on deadwood at various stages of decomposition and contributing to the breakdown of this material. Female lucanids usually oviposit eggs either directly within decaying wood, at

Character Displacement in Stag Beetles (Coleoptera: Lucanidae)

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2003
I quantitatively analyzed male morphology of two closely related stag beetles species (Odontolabis mouhoti Hope and O. cuvera Parry) in 11 allopatric and two sympatric locations in the Asian tropics and subtropics. Across allopatric locations, body size and genitalia size nearly completely overlapped between O. mouhoti and O. cuvera, and body color was

Genera and Allometry in the Stag Beetle Family Lucanidae, Coleoptera

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2000
Analyses of intraspecific and interspecific mandible allometry and dimorphism for natural population samples of 45 species in 3 representative genera of the stag beetle family Lucanidae confirmed that conventional taxonomists have been identifying groups of species sharing the same intraspecific allometry and dimorphism as a genus.

From beetle to bot: bioinspired design of robotic grippers based on stag beetle mandible biomechanics

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics
Abstract Conventional rigid grippers remain the most-used robotic grippers in industrial assembly tasks. However, they are limited in their ability to handle a diverse range of objects. This study draws inspiration from nature to address these limitations, employing multidisciplinary methods, such as computer-aided design, parametric ...
