A unique case of commensalism: The beaver beetle Platypsyllus castoris (Leiodidae, Coleoptera) and its morphological adaptations

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
We document in detail the morphology of adults of the beaver beetle Platypsyllus castoris with modern techniques, and interpret evolutionary changes linked with the specific life style of the beetle in the fur of the beaver. Platypsyllus displays numerous structural specializations which ensure mechanical stabilization, firm anchorage on the host, and ...

Assessing the equilibrium between assemblage composition and climate: A directional distance‐decay approach

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 90, Issue 8, Page 1906-1918, August 2021., 2021
The anisotropy in assemblage spatial turnover (whether assemblages vary with different rates depending on direction) reveals the degree of equilibrium between assemblage composition and climate Abstract The variation of assemblage composition in space is characterised by the decrease in assemblage similarity with spatial distance.

Smelling in the dark: Phylogenomic insights into the chemosensory system of a subterranean beetle

Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 11, Page 2573-2590, June 2021., 2021
Abstract The chemosensory system has experienced relevant changes in subterranean animals, facilitating the perception of specific chemical signals critical to survival in their particular environment. However, the genomic basis of chemoreception in cave‐dwelling fauna has been largely unexplored.

The limits of Quediini at last (Staphylinidae: Staphylininae): a rove beetle mega‐radiation resolved by comprehensive sampling and anchored phylogenomics

Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 396-421, April 2021., 2021
Novel probe set developed for anchored hybrid enrichment of Staphylinidae (Coleoptera), targeting 1229 single‐copy, protein‐encoding, orthologous loci from the nuclear genome. Comprehensive phylogeny of rove beetle tribe Quediini (∼800 spp.), with 46% of 201 ingroup taxa sequenced from pinned specimens, will serve as framework for needed generic ...

Gastritis over Gastrisus Sharp (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Xanthopygina): Resolving a major taxonomic impediment with phylogenomics

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 449-468, July 2025.
Comprehensive phylogeny of Xanthopygina rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), including 30 of 33 genera, was generated by anchored hybrid enrichment of 1229 nuclear, protein‐encoding loci. We resolved nine major clades within Xanthopygina, including the new Leptodiastemus group, and successfully delineated a monophyletic concept of Gastrisus ...
