This article for the first time presents the morphology of the egg, three larval instars, pupal cocoon, prepupa and pupa of myrmecophilous rove beetle Thiasophila angulata (Erichson, 1837) along with illustrations of structural features and chaetotaxy. Morphological comparisons are made between larval instars, and between the mature larva of T. angulata and other known larvae of Aleocharinae be...

Central European forests experience a substantial loss of open-forest organisms due to forest management and increasing nitrogen deposition. However, strategies, removing different levels nitrogen, have been rarely evaluated simultaneously. We tested the additive effects coppicing topsoil removal on communities dung-inhabiting beetles compared closed forests. sampled 57 021 beetles, using baite...

Post-harvest recovery of biodiversity is one important goals in modern forestry. A variable retention (VR) approach has been particular interest North America because it promotes rapid faunal recovery, while minimizing negative lasting impacts logging on the natural fauna. We studied responses rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) to a broad range harvests (2, 10, 20, 50 and 75% retention) c...
