Abstract: The Elateridae family (click beetles) represents a highly diverse lineage that possesses a specialized clicking mechanism to startle predators. At present, however, phylogenetic relationships, especially among recognized subfamilies, remain contentious. Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) can help… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icac068
Abstract: Click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae) are known for their unique clicking mechanism that generates a powerful legless jump. From an inverted position, click beetles jump by rapidly accelerating their center of mass (COM) upwards. Prior studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13020173
Abstract: Simple Summary Wireworms are the larval stage of click beetles, and are serious pests of multiple field crops worldwide. Pitfall traps for collecting the adult (beetle) stage of these pests are commonly used to determine… read more here.
