Comparative mitogenome research revealed the phylogenetics and evolution of the superfamily Tenebrionoidea (Coleoptera: Polyphage)

Ecology and Evolution
Despite the worldwide distribution and rich diversity of the superfamily Tenebrionoidea, the knowledge of the mitochondrial genomes (mtgenome) characteristics of the superfamily is still very limited, and its phylogenetics and evolution remain unresolved.

HOST MATTER: Parasite infection drives chemical reconfiguration of decomposing host and shapes insect behavioural responses

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host–parasite interactions shape ecosystems by driving species dynamics, yet their influence is typically considered in terms of host mortality rather than the chemical environments generated during infection and decomposition.

Effects of bleach on carcass postmortem microbiomes and necrophagous beetle carcass attendance and their internal microbiomes

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology, and potentially microbiology in the future, can be used during death investigations to corroborate an estimated time since death. Instances where products are introduced to a cadaver, either in attempt to conceal or by accident, can affect decomposition and succession of associated decomposer taxa (i.e., insects and ...

Where are they now? Establishment and impact reports of bark beetle biocontrol agents with a case study of introduced parasitoids from Southeast Queensland, Australia

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Twenty‐four bark beetle biocontrol programmes involving 41 natural enemy introductions are reported globally. A total of 36.6% of agents were established and 9.8% were reported effective, while many agent establishments and impacts often remained unassessed and incomparable across regions.

Anatomical and Histological Descriptions of the Male Reproductive System of the Alfalfa Weevil of Hypera postica (Gyllenhal, 1813) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Using Light and Scanning Electron Microscopies

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Features of the reproductive organs, such as the number of testicular follicles, testis colour and the morphology of the glands, can be used as systematic characters. For this purpose, this paper was the first description of the male reproductive system anatomy and histology of Hypera postica (Gyllenhal, 1813) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a ...

Histomorphology Structure of the Gastric Caecum, Midgut, and Malpighian Tubules in Adult Flatheaded Pine Borer Chalcophora mariana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pine weevil is one of the largest species in the jewel beetle (Buprestidae) family found in Central Europe and Turkey. Chalcophora mariana is generally considered a secondary guest and primarily develops in weakened, decaying, or recently dead pine trees.
