Abstract:
... The aquatic larvae of the family Hydrochidae (Coleoptera) have been considered ‘mystery larvae’, because ecological knowledge about them is lacking. We discovered that Hydrochidae larvae (Hydrochus japonicus Sharp) are benthic via laboratory rearing. The larvae have a terminal spiracular atrium, but we did not observe them breathing at the water surface. The larvae fed on Naididae worms that were ...

Abstract:
... Studies of elevational variation in diets in lizards have often found shifts in diet composition among elevations. Herein, we studied the diets of Sceloporus variabilis from six populations found in a variety of habitats along an elevational gradient (3–1900 m) in Puebla and Veracruz, Mexico. Diets of S. variabilis for the six populations were similar at the order level, with hymenopterans and col ...

Abstract:
... The family Ptiliidae is one of the poorly known groups of beetles. Approximately 70 species are currently recorded in Japan and Russian Far East. In Korea, however, taxonomic studies involving ptiliid beetles were started with the recording of three species in 2020–2021. In this study, three additional ptiliid species, Baeocrara japonica, Cissidium elongatum, and Ptinella mekura are recorded in Ko ...

Abstract:
... It has recently been found that iridescence, a taxonomically widespread form of animal coloration defined by a change in hue with viewing angle, can act as a highly effective form of camouflage. However, little is known about whether iridescence can confer a survival benefit to prey postdetection and, if so, which optical properties of iridescent prey are important for this putative protective fun ...

Abstract:
... Deadwood provides a variety of habitats for saproxylic beetles. Whereas the understanding of the drivers promoting saproxylic beetle diversity has improved, the process of deadwood colonisation and beetle's potential to trace resources is poorly understood. However, the mechanisms facilitating deadwood detection by saproxylic beetles appears to be essential for survival, as deadwood is usually sca ...

Abstract:
... Sandy beaches are increasingly squeezed due to the construction of backshore man-made structures (i.e., coastal armoring) and current global changes. Coastal armoring impacts beach sediment dynamics, inducing erosion and habitat loss, threatening biodiversity processes and the functional roles of sandy beach organisms. Here, we examine how the abundance, taxonomic richness, and functional richness ...
