Abstract: INTRODUCTION Meloidae are distributed in temperate and arid regions but are also common in subtropical and tropical savannahs. These insects contain cantharidin, a vesicant substance that can cause poisoning by ingestion and dermatitis by direct… read more here.

Abstract: Changes in life history traits are often considered speciation triggers and can have dramatic effects on the evolutionary history of a lineage. Here, we examine the consequences of changes in two life history traits, host‐type… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-017-4102-y
Abstract: BackgroundInsect mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) exhibit high diversity in some lineages. The gene rearrangement and large intergenic spacer (IGS) have been reported in several Coleopteran species, although very little is known about mitogenomes of Meloidae.ResultsWe determined… read more here.

DOI: 10.4001/003.026.0555
Abstract: Phoresis is the interspecific symbiotic association in which one of two participants, the phoront, utilises the other participant in the association (the host) for mechanical transport. The association is seldom obligatory although it may be… read more here.
