“…Acalles clavatus (Curculionidae) was previously known from Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana (Ciegler 2010, O'Brien and Wibmer 1982); it has been reared from small twigs of Quercus falcata Michaux (Ferro et al 2009). …”

BackgroundThe Ozark Mountains are a region with high endemism and biodiversity, yet few invertebrate inventories have been made and few sites extensively studied. We surveyed a site near Steel Creek Campground, along the Buffalo National River in Arkansas, using twelve trap types – Malaise traps, canopy traps (upper and lower collector), Lindgren multifunnel traps (black, green, and purple), pan traps (blue, purple, red, white, and yellow), and pitfall traps – and Berlese-Tullgren extraction for eight and half months.New informationWe provide collection records of beetle species belonging to eight families collected at the site. Thirty one species represent new state records: (Buprestidae) Actenodes acornis, Agrilus cephalicus, Agrilus ohioensis, Agrilus paracelti, Taphrocerus nicolayi; (Carabidae) Agonum punctiforme, Synuchus impunctatus; (Curculionidae) Acalles clavatus, Acalles minutissimus, Acoptus suturalis, Anthonomus juniperinus, Anametis granulata, Idiostethus subcalvus, Eudociminus mannerheimii, Madarellus undulatus, Magdalis armicollis, Magdalis barbita, Mecinus pascuorum, Myrmex chevrolatii, Myrmex myrmex, Nicentrus lecontei, Otiorhynchus rugosostriatus, Piazorhinus pictus, Phyllotrox ferrugineus, Plocamus hispidulus, Pseudobaris nigrina, Pseudopentarthrum simplex, Rhinoncus pericarpius, Sitona lineatus, Stenoscelis brevis, Tomolips quericola. Additionally, three endemic carabids, two of which are known only from the type series, were collected.

“…Consistent with findings from two previous studies of saproxylic beetle abundance (Buse et al , 2007) and richness (Ulyshen & Hanula, 2009), log characteristics were more important to O. disjunctus incidence than subplot (or stand) characteristics. Log size may be the most important environmental variable at the log level for saproxylic beetles (reviewed in Grove, 2002; Ferro et al , 2009). When the effect of log size is removed (i.e.…”

1. Species incidence is influenced by environmental and intrinsic factors operating at multiple scales. The incidence of a dispersal‐limited beetle, Odontotaenius disjunctus (Coleoptera: Passalidae), was surveyed within hierarchically nested organisational levels of its environment (log sections < logs < 10‐m radius subplots < 0.66‐ha plots) in Louisiana, U.S.A. The finest level was the size of a single territory. Passalid beetles are an ecologically prominent group, but little is known of the factors affecting their incidence. 2. Three scale‐sensitive aspects of O. disjunctus incidence were evaluated: (i) the extent (52–3600 ha) within which forest cover was most associated with incidence; (ii) the hierarchical level at which environmental variables best predicted incidence; and (iii) the hierarchical level at which incidence exhibited the greatest spatial autocorrelation as a result of intrinsic factors (e.g. dispersal limitation). 3. Forest cover best predicted incidence at 225 ha, but accounted for only 1.2% of variation in incidence. Incidence was most sensitive to environmental factors measured at the finest scale (i.e. territories). Incidence was positively associated with moderately decayed wood and increased surface area of logs (9.9% and 3.1% of variance, respectively). When environmental factors were accounted for, spatial autocorrelation in incidence was greatest within subplots and logs, consistent with the hypothesis that intrinsic autocorrelation is associated with O. disjunctus average dispersal distance (<5 m). 4. This study indicates the influences of factors acting at multiple scales, but suggests that environmental conditions at the scale of territories may be most important for species incidence.

“…Adult Mesoptiliinae feed on leaves (often on trees and frequently the trees in which the larvae develop), producing typical "shothole" damage. Larvae of Laemosaccus bore in twigs, e.g., L. nephele (Herbst) on the oak Quercus fal cata (Ferro et al 2009). Sometimes, the insects cause economic damage, e,g., Magdalis rufi cornis (L.) and M. cerasi (L.) on apple, M. barbicornis (Latreille) on fruit trees in Europe and introduced to the United States, Magdalis armicollis (Say) (the "red elm bark beetle") is a potentially serious pest of Ulmus americana in Canada and apparently can kill the tree by boring into branches and trunks (Tucker 1907;Booth & Johnson 2009).…”
