Revision of the Tribe Bythinini (Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae) From Korea With Molecular Phylogeny

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 131-144, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Although three genera of Bythinini are known from East Asia, Bythoxenites Jeannel, Bryaxis Kugelann and Tychobythinus Ganglbauer, only Bryaxis has been reported in Korea, and no phylogenetic research has been conducted. We report new records of the genus Tychobythinus in Korea and describe T. rasiligulus sp. n.

Decomposition Dynamics of an Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus morio) Carcass in a Tropical Forest: Implications for Conservation Practices

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We documented the complete decomposition process of a wild Bornean orangutan carcass in a lowland dipterocarp forest in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. This represents the first detailed observation of great ape decomposition in Borneo. Our study provides a rare insight into the often‐overlooked process of carcass breakdown and decomposition in tropical ...

Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7971-7984, December 2025.
Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks. Zeus Mateos‐Fierro*, Ashley Leach, Ian Kaplan. Spider mite and melon aphid outbreaks are enhanced with broad‐spectrum insecticides, while natural enemies are reduced. However, rye cover crop has little effect on either pest or natural enemy populations.

Ecogeographic patterns in a mainland-island system in Northern Europe as inferred from the rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) on Læsø island

European Journal of Entomology, 2018
Rove beetles (Staphylinidae) are used to explore the forces that shaped the terrestrial fauna on Læsø, a young ca. 3000 year old Danish oceanic island located in the Kattegat strait between mainland Denmark and Sweden.

Micro Gondwana: soil and litter mesofauna in the subalpine and alpine of North‐West Nelson, southern New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 944-966, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to the warming climate, yet alpine soil mesofauna remains the less studied part of NZ biodiversity. Here we present a survey of soil mesofauna communities of three mountain peaks in the Nelson‐Tasman and Marlborough regions of the South Island of New Zealand.

Differences between beetle communities colonizing cattle and horse dung

European Journal of Entomology, 2014
Piles of fresh cow and horse dung were placed in a pasture in Dziarny in north-east Poland. The differences between the beetle communities colonizing both types of dung at various stages of succession were analyzed.

Effects of Collection Cup Preservative on Flight Intercept Trap Performance for Forest Insects

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 12, Page 1330-1340, December 2025.
Flight intercept traps are important tools for the monitoring and surveillance of forest Coleoptera. We investigated the comparative efficacy of three wet (saturated saltwater, propylene glycol, and soapy water) and one dry (dichlorvos strip) collection cup treatments on the capture of forest insects.

No genetic differentiation among populations up to 300 km apart in three species of carrion beetles

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 953-967, December 2025.
Habitat fragmentation threatens biodiversity by disrupting gene flow; understanding species' dispersal abilities is key to determining whether they are limited by habitat or mobility. Carrion beetles show no significant population genetic structure across up to 320 km, indicating high dispersal ability and unrestricted gene flow.

Beetle Pollination in the Holoparasitic Lophophytum pyramidale (Balanophoraceae): A New Case of Brood‐Pollination Mutualism?

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1542-1554, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.

The Shape and Material of the Flight Interception Trap Matter for Beetle Sampling

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1467-1477, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Beetles (Coleoptera) are one of the most diverse insect groups, playing vital roles in ecosystem functions such as decomposition and pollination. Despite their ecological importance, their immense diversity is often under‐sampled due to inconsistent and non‐standardised sampling methodologies.
