“…Each quarter of each quadrat was scored separately for presence (1) or absence (0) of larval woodborer activity, including living or dead specimens and characteristic frass or boring dust, exit or transit holes, or galleries on any part of the quarter-quadrat, including the sapwood surface, bark interior, or (except frass or boring dust) bark exterior (Furniss and Carolin 1977). Larvae collected from quadrats were stored in vials and identified to family, while adults collected from traps were sealed in plastic bags and identified to species, genus, or family using reference collections (USDA Forest Service, Forest Health Protection, Reference Insect Collection, Susanville, California, USA), online resources (http://www.mtent.org/projects/woodboring/index.html), identification keys (Furniss and Carolin 1977, Arnett Jr. et al 2002, Evans and Hogue 2006, Schiff et al 2006, LaBonte et al 2013a, LaBonte et al 2013b, and consultation with Oregon Department of Agriculture for identification of Melanophila Eschscholtz 1829 species. Non-target insects captured in traps were generally identified to family.…”

Patterns of woodboring beetle activity following fires and bark beetle outbreaks in montane forests of California, USA

Background: Increasingly frequent and severe drought in the western United States has contributed to more frequent and severe wildfires, longer fire seasons, and more frequent bark beetle outbreaks that kill large numbers of trees. Climate change is expected to perpetuate these trends, especially in montane ecosystems, calling for improved strategies for managing Western forests and conserving the wildlife that they support. Woodboring beetles (e.g., Buprestidae and Cerambycidae) colonize dead and weakened trees and speed succession of habitats altered by fire or bark beetles, while serving as prey for some early-seral habitat specialists, including several woodpecker species. To understand how these ecologically important beetles respond to different sources of tree mortality, we sampled woodborers in 16 sites affected by wildfire or bark beetle outbreak in the previous one to eight years. Study sites were located in the Sierra Nevada, Modoc Plateau, Warner Mountains, and southern Cascades of California, USA. We used generalized linear mixed models to evaluate hypotheses concerning the response of woodboring beetles to disturbance type, severity, and timing; forest stand composition and structure; and tree characteristics. Results: Woodborer activity was often similar in burned and bark beetle outbreak sites, tempered by localized responses to bark beetle activity, burn severity, tree characteristics, and apparent response to ignition date. Larval woodborer activity was inversely related to bark beetle sign within a sampling quadrat, was higher on pines, and-in burned sites-was higher on the south-facing sides of smaller trees. Adults-especially buprestids-were more abundant where burn severity was higher. Fires with intermediate ignition dates during the study period supported higher rates of larval woodborer activity and higher numbers of adult buprestids as well as cerambycids in the genus Monochamus Dejean 1821. Conclusions: Woodboring beetle abundance was related to bark beetle activity, burn severity, tree characteristics, and ignition date. Considering these patterns when managing disturbed forest stands could yield improved outcomes for wildlife, including species that prey on woodboring beetles. We also reported preliminary evidence that the current trend toward more frequent wildfires might not stimulate larger woodboring beetle populations if those fires increasingly occur outside the historical fire season.

“…It is a surprisingly higher precentage than other areas: 22% of the species in Valle d'Aosta (Pedroni and Platia 2002). As highlighted by this sampling, by the other Elateridae recorded in the area and according to the literature (Arnett et al 2002, Costa et al 2010, Mulerčikas et al 2012) we argue that diet integration with flower rewards might be crucial for adult Elateridae. In fact, pollination services are documented: species of the family had already been found on the generalist plant Erysimum mediohispanicum (Gómez et al 2013), on the generalist Ilex opaca shrub (Rathcke 1988) and on tropical plants (Irvine and Armstrong 1990).…”

Campylomorphus homalisinus has been found on Mt. Lesima (Northern Apennines) and it is the first record for the Lombardy region. Campylomorphus homalisinus is a rare orophilous species: it has a discontinuous chorology that may have been caused by glaciers dynamics during the Pleistocene era. Little is known about the ecology of the species. This record and the expert-based investigation we performed determined that Campylomorphus homalisinus inhabits shrublands and grasslands, but may also occur in the forests. This survey includes the only record of Campylomorphus homalisinus foraging on flowers, a behavior that is not rare in the family Elateridae. We hypothesize that adults integrate their diet with flower resources according to a generalist strategy.

Land-use change from forest to plantation can cause the loss of various types of insect diversity group, one of which is the beetle group. Curculionids or weevils is one of the largest families in the Order Coleoptera due to its adaptability in almost all habitats in nature. This research is aimed to study the effect of seasonality on species richness and the abundance of weevils in oil palm and rubber plantation in Hutan Harapan and Bukit Duabelas National Park, Jambi. Sample was collected in the dry season and rainy season 2013–2014 by fogging method using pyrethroid knockdown insecticides. In each land use, 4 observation plots were erected with selected 3 points as a subplots, so there are 16 plots or 48 subplots in total. The results showed that 1.761 individuals of weevils from 9 subfamilies and 45 morphospecies. Based on analysis, seasonal difference did not affect species richness and abundance of weevils, while land-use types affect abundance of weevils. Analysis of similarity using Bray-Curtis Index showed 4% of similarity in two land-use types, and 46% of similarity between two seasons. The diversity index in oil palm plantation were lower than rubber plantation. The most dominant species that can be found in both land-use types is Elaeidobius kamerunicus Faust., while Rhynchophorus sp.01 is only found in oil palm plantation, and Curculio sp.04 is only found in rubber plantation.
