Adult Diapause in Coleoptera
Hindawi Publishing Corporation Psyche Volume 2012, Article ID 249081, 10 pages doi:10.1155/2012/249081 Review Article Adult Diapause in Coleoptera Ivo Hodek Institute of Entomology, Biological Centre, Academy of Sciences, 37005 Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic Correspondence should be addressed to Ivo Hodek, [email protected] Received 15 September 2011; Accepted 11 October 2011 Academic Editor: Ai-Ping Liang Copyright © 2012 Ivo Hodek. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Recent studies dealing with adult (reproductive) diapause in the Coleoptera are reviewed, as a kind of supplement to the classic compendia. In the first two sections, the general characteristics of adult diapause are described and principal terms explained. Original articles dealing with 19 species from nine coleopteran families (Coccinellidae, Chrysomelidae, Bruchidae, Curculionidae, Carabidae, Silphidae, Scolytidae, Scarabaeidae, and Endomychidae) are reviewed. Finally attempts are made at generalisations from the papers reviewed, and hypotheses on diapause evolution are inferred. A polyphenic character of diapause is a prominent feature in C. septempunctata and L. decemlineata, but has been found also in other Coleoptera and in insects generally and often generates voltinism heterogeneity within populations. 1. Introduction by accumulating reserves (lipids, glycogen, proteins) and substances needed for resistance to future hazardous changes Adult diapause is the most common form of diapause of environmental conditions. To begin early enough before in Coleoptera. It occurs in about 90% of beetle species the start of the dangerous period, diapause is induced by [1], belonging mostly to the families of Coccinellidae, signals heralding the arrival of the unfavourable season; usu- Chrysomelidae, and Curculionidae, and partly also Cara- ally the cue is photoperiodic. -
American Burying Beetle (Nicrophorus Americanus )
American Burying Beetle (Nicrophorus americanus ) A Species Conservation Assessment for The Nebraska Natural Legacy Project Prepared by Melissa J. Panella Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Wildlife Division March 2013 The mission of the Nebraska Natural Legacy Project is to implement a blueprint for conserving Nebraska’s flora, fauna, and natural habitats through the proactive, voluntary conservation actions of partners, communities and individuals. Purpose The primary goal in development of at-risk species conservation assessments is to compile biological and ecological information that may assist conservation practitioners in making decisions regarding the conservation of species of interest. The Nebraska Natural Legacy Project recognizes the American Burying Beetle (Nicrophorus americanus ) as a Tier I at-risk species of high conservation priority. Indeed, the American Burying Beetle (ABB) is a species of conservation need throughout its range. Here, I provide some general management recommendations regarding ABB; however, conservation practitioners will need to use professional judgment for specific management decisions based on objectives, location, and site-specific conditions. This resource provides available knowledge of ABB that may aid in the decision-making process or in identifying research needs for the benefit of the species. Species conservation assessments will be updated as new scientific information becomes available. The Nebraska Natural Legacy Project focuses efforts in the state’s Biologically Unique Landscapes (BULs), -
Antagonistic Effects of Intraspecific Cooperation and Interspecific

Yet, most previous work on thermal niches has ignored detailed mechanistic information about the relationship between temperature and organismal performance, which can be described by a thermal performance curve. Here, we develop a model that predicts the width of thermal performance curves will be narrower in the presence of interspecific competitors, causing a species’ optimal breeding temperature to diverge from that of its competitor. We test this prediction in the Asian burying beetle Nicrophorus nepalensis, confirming that the divergence in actual and optimal breeding temperatures is the result of competition with their primary competitor, blowflies. However, we further show that intraspecific cooperation enables beetles to outcompete blowflies by recovering their optimal breeding temperature. Ultimately, linking abiotic factors and biotic interactions on niche width will be critical for understanding species-specific responses to climate change. *For correspondence: [email protected] Introduction Competing interests: The Recent anthropogenic climate warming makes understanding species vulnerability to changing tem- authors declare that no peratures one of the most pressing issues in modern biology. -

A Chemically Triggered Transition from Conflict to Cooperation in Burying
Ecology Letters, (2020) 23: 467–475 doi: 10.1111/ele.13445 LETTER A chemically triggered transition from conflict to cooperation in burying beetles Abstract Bo-Fei Chen,1 Mark Liu,1 Although interspecific competition has long been recognised as a major driver of trait divergence Dustin R. Rubenstein,2 Syuan- and adaptive evolution, relatively little effort has focused on how it influences the evolution of Jyun Sun,1 Jian-Nan Liu,1 Yu-Heng intraspecific cooperation. Here we identify the mechanism by which the perceived pressure of Lin1 and Sheng-Feng Shen1* interspecific competition influences the transition from intraspecific conflict to cooperation in a facultative cooperatively breeding species, the Asian burying beetle Nicrophorus nepalensis. We The peer review history for this not only found that beetles are more cooperative at carcasses when blowfly maggots have begun article is available at https://pub to digest the tissue, but that this social cooperation appears to be triggered by a single chemical lons.com/publon/10.1111/ele.13445 cue – dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) – emitted from carcasses consumed by blowflies, but not from control carcasses lacking blowflies. Our results provide experimental evidence that interspecific competition promotes the transition from intraspecific conflict to cooperation in N. nepalensis via a surprisingly simple social chemical cue that is a reliable indicator of resource competition between species.
