(Ovo-)viviparity in the darkling beetle, Alegoria castelnaui (Tenebrioninae: Ulomini), from Guadeloupe

European Journal of Entomology, 2010
In the course of cytogenetic studies on Alegoria castelnaui Fleutiaux & Sallé 1889 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Tenebrioninae: Ulomini) from Guadeloupe, a number of adult specimens were dissected.

Island invertebrate responses to single‐ and multi‐species invasive rodent eradications

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Eradications of rodents on islands are a powerful tool for conservation, but rarely are the responses of invertebrates quantified post‐eradication, despite being the preferred prey of mice. Here we analyzed pre‐ and post‐eradication invertebrate survey results for two sub‐Antarctic islands where mice had recently been eradicated; Antipodes Island where

Systematic revision and cladistic analysis of the Patagonian genus Platesthes (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2004
The genus Platesthes Waterhouse, 1845 (Pimeliinae: Praocini), distributed in the Patagonian steppes in southern Argentina and Chile, is revised. A phylogeny of its 13 species is proposed, based on 48 morphological characters.

Environmental Morphological Divergence and Its Integration With Collective Behavior in Cooperative Pseudoscorpions

Ethology, EarlyView.
In the social pseudoscorpion Paratemnoides nidificator, populations across contrasting urban and peri‐urban environments exhibit marked morphological divergence and consistent sexual dimorphism. Crucially, relative development of the prey‐capture pedipalp apparatus (rather than absolute body size) is positively integrated with proactive collective ...

Taxonomic and methodological biases in saproxylic beetles: Body size, trophic group and detection probability

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Smaller saproxylic beetle species are described later and appear later in georeferenced databases, demonstrating a persistent body‐size bias that contributes to Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls. Trophic group, not body size, is the primary driver of detection probability in standardised flight‐trap surveys, with sapro‐xylophagous species detected most ...

Variación en la abundancia de Artropoda en un transecto latitudinal del desierto costero transicional de Chile, con énfasis en los tenebriónidos epígeos Variation in the abundance of Arthropoda from a latitudinal transect in the transitional coastal desert of Chile, with emphasis on the epigean tenebrionids

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2005
Mediante el empleo de trampas de intercepción se examinó la composición taxonómica y los patrones de abundancia (denso-actividad) de la fauna de Arthropoda del transecto 27-30º S del desierto costero transicional de Chile, particularmente la distribución

Inhibitory effects of plant extracts on growth, development and α-amylase activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2014
The bioinsecticidal effects of methanolic extracts of the leaves of castor bean, Ricinus communis, and papaya, Carica papaya, on the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, were studied.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Promethis valgipes valgipes (Marseul) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Promethis valgipes valgipes (Marseul) is one of the important fungus-eating beetle distributed in central China, Korea, and Japan. Beetles were obtained from Pizhou City and the species’ mitochondrial genome was characterized (GenBank accession number ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.
