“…The external anatomy of the cylindrical, cream-coloured larvae ( Fig. 1) has been described in detail elsewhere (Cavey et al 1998) and is similar to that of other cerambycid larvae (Svacha and Lawrence 2014). The head is heavily sclerotised, prognathous, and partially retracted.…”

Dissection ofAnoplophora glabripennis(Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) larval tissues for physiological and molecular studies

Many biological processes are partitioned among organs and tissues, necessitating tissue-specific or organ-specific analysis (particularly for comparative -omics studies). Standardised techniques for tissue identification and dissection are therefore imperative for comparing among studies. Here we describe dissection protocols for isolating six key tissues/organs from larvae of the Asian longhorned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae): the supraoesophageal ganglion, posterior midgut, hindgut, Malpighian tubules, fat body, and thoracic muscle. We also describe how to extract haemolymph and preserve whole larvae for measurements such as protein, lipid, and carbohydrate content. We include dissection protocols for both fresh-killed and previously frozen specimens. Although this protocol is developed for A. glabripennis, it should allow standardised tissue collection from larvae of other cerambycids and be readily transferrable to other beetle taxa with similar larval morphology.

“…As extreme variability of adult body size due to variation in the quantity and quality of larval food has also been well documented in e.g. , Cerambycidae ( Svacha & Lawrence, 2014 ), it was not surprising that 15 of the 30 BINs with the highest coefficients of variation belonged to this family. These impacts can even shift the relationship between morphometric measurements ( e.g ., body length) and biomass ( Gouws, Gaston & Chown, 2011 ).…”

Measuring mass: variation among 3,161 species of Canadian Coleoptera and the prospects of a mass registry for all insects

Although biomass values are critical for diverse ecological and evolutionary analyses, they are unavailable for most insect species. Museum specimens have the potential to address this gap, but the variation introduced by sampling and preservation methods is uncertain. This study quantifies species-level variation in the body mass of Canadian Coleoptera based on the analysis of 3,744 specimens representing 3,161 Barcode Index Number (BIN) clusters. Employing the BIN system as a proxy for species allows the inclusion of groups where the taxonomic impediment prevents the assignment of specimens to a Linnaean species. By validating the reproducibility of measurements and evaluating the error introduced by operational complexities such as curatorial practice and the loss of body parts, this study demonstrates that museum specimens can speed the assembly of a mass registry. The results further indicate that congeneric species of Coleoptera generally have limited variation in mass, so a genus-level identification allows prediction of the body mass of species that have not been weighed or measured. Building on the present results, the construction of a mass registry for all insects is feasible.

“…Females of Prionus californicus Motschulsky, 1845 live for 2–3 weeks (Cervantes, Hanks, Lacey, & Barbour, 2006) and those of Migdolus fryanus Westwood, 1863 for more than 30 days (Leal, Bento, Vilela, & Della Lucia, 1994). It is noteworthy that females of Phosphaenus and Migdolus are wingless like those of Ripidiini, and also some desert genera of Prionini, in which males have strongly flabellate antennae with many antennomeres (Svacha & Lawrence, 2014). It is likely that long lived sedentary females will be more successful in attracting and mating with a male.…”

The precopulatory behaviour of the larviform females of Ripidius quadriceps Abeille de Perrin, 1872 is described. The calling posture of virgin females is documented. The cephalic morphology and microstructures are visualised using scanning electron microscopy, in particular the secretory pores in the cuticle of inflatable maxillary palps. An exhaustive overview of relevant publications revealed that the location of secretory pores on the head of females is unique within the order Coleoptera. Compared to other beetles with sedentary calling females, the calling phase of the short‐lived and non‐feeding female of Ripidius is exceptionally short. For bioassays, various traps using virgin females of Ripidius were tested. It is likely that the sedentary behaviour of the short‐lived female combined with a unique morphology and priority for investing in reproduction is compensated for by the actively flying males with remarkably flabellate antennae. The life cycle of this species, including some of the exceptions recorded at the individual level, is discussed. Perspectives for a biological and morphological survey of this rarely collected western Palaearctic species are outlined. In addition, the calling behaviour, secretory sites and location of pheromone glands in females of Coleoptera producing long range pheromones is reviewed.
