  • Effect of Trap Color on Captures of Bark- and Wood-Boring Beetles

Received: 9 October 2020; Accepted: 28 October 2020; Published: 30 October 2020 Simple Summary: Several wood-associated insects are inadvertently introduced every year within wood-packaging materials used in international trade. These insects can cause impressive economic and ecological damage in the invaded environment. Thus, several countries use traps baited with pheromones and plant volatiles at ports of entry and surrounding natural areas to intercept incoming exotic species soon after their arrival and thereby reduce the likelihood of their establishment. In this study, we investigated the performance of eight trap colors in attracting jewel beetles and bark and ambrosia beetles to test if the trap colors currently used in survey programs worldwide are the most efficient for trapping these potential forest pests. In addition, we tested whether trap colors can be exploited to minimize inadvertent removal of their natural enemies.

From 205 total collected species in Biskra region, 148 species were from palm grove, 127 from wetland habitat and only 95 from steppe one. The similarity index shows 72% similarity between Site A and Site B and 70% (10 species) similarity between Site B and Site C, whereas minimal similarity obtained between Site A and Site C 69 % (7 species). KEY WORDS: Wetland habitat, Ziban palm grove, insects’ cartography, distribution, steppe With their presence on the Earth for more than 400 million years, insects constitute an unprecedented biological success and an essential component for life on our planet (Gilles, 2019). They occupy a broad thermal spectrum from the coldest to desert areas (Daly et al., 1998; Kergoat, 2004). Considering the climate change effect at all levels of organization of living animal or plant, arid areas suffer irreversible losses in biodiversity (Belhamra et al., 2014; Deghiche-Diab, 2015).

  • A Review of the Beetles of Great Britain
    Natural England Commissioned Report NECR134 A review of the beetles of Great Britain The Soldier Beetles and their allies Species Status No.16 First published 20 January 2014 www.gov.uk/natural-england Foreword Natural England commission a range of reports from external contractors to provide evidence and advice to assist us in delivering our duties. The views in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of Natural England. Background Making good decisions to conserve species should primarily be based upon an objective process of determining the degree of threat to the survival of a species. The recognised international approach to undertaking this is by assigning the species to one of the IUCN threat categories. This report was commissioned to update the threat status of beetles from the named families from work originally undertaken in 1987, 1992 and 1994 respectively using the IUCN methodology for assessing threat. It is expected that further invertebrate status reviews will follow. Natural England Project Manager - Jon Webb, [email protected] Contractor - Buglife (project management), K.N.A.

The first recent monograph of the Jewel-beetles (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) of the fauna of South Tyrol (N-Italy: Province Bozen-Bolzano), with 75 (78) /80 species, was published by the Author in 1974 /75. Some 35-38 years later, the Author supplies an updated and revised edition, where changes and innovations on the valid actual scientific nomenclature of species that happened since the first edition are also duly considered. Scientific nomenclature follows the publications of GOBBI & PLATIA (1995: Checklist Fauna Italiana), MÜHLE et al. (2000: Catalogus Faunae Graeciae) and FAUNA EURO P AEA (2007/09) respectively. A brief historical review of Buprestid-studies in South-Tirol is refered. In addition to the records of finding and occurrence of the treated Buprestid-species, aspects of biology and ecology are also given. The recent collections and observations made by the Author during the last four decades are recorded.

Infection by endosymbiotic “male-killing” bacteria in Coleoptera. Folia Biologica (Kraków) 66: 165-177. Wolbachia, Rickettsia, Spiroplasma and Cardinium are endosymbiotic and intracellular bacteria known to cause numerous disorders in host reproduction, reflected in their common name “male-killers”. In this study, 297 beetle species from various taxonomic groups were screened with the use of molecular markers for the presence of infection by any of these endosymbionts. Wolbachia was found to be the most common “male-killer” among beetle hosts as it infected approx. 27% of species. Rickettsia, Spiroplasma and Cardinium were much less prevalent as they infected: 8%, 3% and 2%, respectively, of the studied beetle species. This is the first report of Cardinium presence in beetle hosts. Incidences of co-infection of two bacteria taxa were very rare and only two weevil species were found to be infected by three different bacteria. These findings suggest that endosymbiotic bacteria inhabit their host at various levels of prevalence and that particular taxa usually infect different hosts, suggesting some competition among “male-killers”.

  • Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Beetles from the Canopy and Ground Layer in an Italian Lowland Forest

In a lowland forest in northern Italy, Malaise traps were set in the canopy (n = 7) and ground layer (n = 7) and eleven beetles families (Buprestidae, Eucnemidae, Throscidae, Elateridae, Cantharidae, Dasytidae, Malachiidae, Tenebrionidae, Cerambycidae, Anthribidae, and Scolytidae) were compared for species richness and similarity of assemblages. Additionally it was investigated if species were associated with the forest layers studied and which of the families best qualified as bioindicator taxon. Finally, it was analyzed if similarity between the two layers was affected by season. The beetle assemblages in the two layers were significantly different, but species richness was similar. Eight species were significantly associated with the canopy and 15 species with the ground layer; for 16 of these this association is reported for the first time. Cerambycidae characte- rized the differences between ground and canopy best, as assemblages of this taxon were well separated; and these were signifi- cantly related to the composition of all families considered.
