Spatial patterns of diversity in the tenebrionid beetles (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) of the
Aegean Islands (Greece) Page 1 Spatial patterns of diversity in the tenebrionid beetles (Coleoptera …

Any method of identifying hotspots should take into account the effect of area on species
richness. I examined the importance of the species‐area relationship in determining …

SUMMARY A brief overview of the family Tenebrionidae is presented, and general
biogeographical patterns are discussed with emphasis on the subfamily Pimeliinae. The …

This paper attempts to use museum collection data to estimate measures of species rarity
and then to relate these measures to extinction risk. For this purpose, 170 taxa (138 species …

Abstract Aim The Mediterranean Basin (MB) is a species‐rich biogeographical region with
many endemic taxa. We analysed the historical patterns of temporal and geographical …

Abstract The genus Dendarus Latr. is distributed throughout the Mediterranean basin with
numerous species in the Aegean islands. This paper presents a phylogenetic analysis and …

1. We used a hyperdiverse invertebrate group, tenebrionid beetles, to test competing
hypotheses about the factors correlated with the spatial variation in species richness and …
