Mycophagous rove beetles highlight diverse mushrooms in the Cretaceous
Agaricomycetes, or mushrooms, are familiar, conspicuous and morphologically diverse Fungi. Most Agaricomycete fruiting bodies are ephemeral, and their fossil record is limited. Here we report diverse gilled mushrooms (Agaricales) and mycophagous rove beetles (Staphylinidae) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber, the latter belonging to Oxyporinae, modern members of which exhibit an obligate associa...
متن کاملIridoid biosynthesis in staphylinid rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae, Philonthinae).
The biosynthesis of chrysomelidial and plagiodial was studied in the rove beetle subtribe Philonthina (Staphylinidae). Glandular homogenates were found to convert synthetic (2E,6E)-[trideuteromethyl-5,5-(2)H(5)]octa-2,6-diene-1,8-diol (10) into nor-chrysomelidial (14) and nor-plagiodial (13). The overall transformation requires; i) oxidation of the substrate at C(1) and C(8), ii) cyclization of...
متن کاملInvestigation of hindwing folding in ladybird beetles by artificial elytron transplantation and microcomputed tomography.
Ladybird beetles are high-mobility insects and explore broad areas by switching between walking and flying. Their excellent wing transformation systems enabling this lifestyle are expected to provide large potential for engineering applications. However, the mechanism behind the folding of their hindwings remains unclear. The reason is that ladybird beetles close the elytra ahead of wing foldin...
متن کاملRove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) collected during the long term ecological research in a Hungarian oak forest.
Along term ecological research was carried out in a Hungarian oak forest, in "Bükk" National Park starting with 1972. During the faunistical studies 3,602 insect species and more than 200,000 individuals were collected. The dominant orders were Coleoptera (1,051 species), Lepidoptera (803 species), Hymenoptera (470 species) and Diptera (400 species). The relative species abundance (RSA) for all...

rove beetle dermatitis produced by the family staphylinidae genus paederus has world- wide distribution some one hundred species of paederus have been found, but it is believed that only 30 of these produce dermatitis. up to 1976 three species of paederus have been found in iran as: p. fusciped curtis; p. pietschmanni bershaner , and p. spectabilis kraatz . observations on the biology of paeder...
