An insect †Archaeopteryx: Cretaceous amber fossil elucidates the evolution of complex host detection and ovipositor mechanisms in parasitoid woodwasps (Hymenoptera: Orussoidea)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 630-645, July 2025.
We describe †Cretovelona orussopteryx n. gen. & sp. from Kachin amber. The fossil is examined with synchrotron scanning and integrated into an existing morphological data set for Orussoidea. This fossil parasitoid wasp displays a unique character combination demonstrating intermediate conditions in evolving the complex features employed in echo ...

Coleopteran and Lepidopteran Hosts of the Entomopathogenic Genus Cordyceps sensu lato

open access: yesJournal of Mycology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Entomophthoralean and ascomycetous fungi are the two major groups known to parasitize arthropods in almost every terrestrial habitat of the earth. Within Ascomycota, Cordyceps sensu lato is a large genus with more than 400 spp. described on numerous orders of Arthropoda. Among the hosts of Cordyceps, Coleoptera and Lepidoptera are the two major orders.

Larval morphology and phylogenetic placement of the myrmecophilous beetle Attumbra lucida (Kraatz, 1852) (Staphylinoidea: Leiodidae: Cholevinae: Cholevina)

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal
We present a detailed redescription of the larval morphology of a myrmecophilous beetle species associated with harvester ants of the genus Messor Forel, 1890.

What can an analysis of Australian tropical rainforest bark beetles suggest about the missing millions of Earth's insect species?

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1156-1166, November 2024.
In an analysis of 10,097 Australian tropical rainforest bark beetles (Scolytinae) from eight different ecological studies, we found that 58 of the 107 species identified are undescribed. As hypothesised, new species are significantly smaller, less abundant and less widespread than described species making them more extinction‐prone than named species ...

The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 355-388, July 2024.
Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

The phylogeny of Ptiliidae (Coleoptera: Staphylinoidea) – the smallest beetles and their evolutionary transformations

open access: yes, 2019
The smallest beetles and the smallest non-parasitic insects belong to the staphylinoid family Ptiliidae. Their adult body length can be as small as 0.325 mm and is generally smaller than 1 mm. Here we address the phylogenetic relationships within the family using formal analyses of adult morphological characters and molecular data, and also a ...
