The Aegean archipelago, as an 'evolutionary laboratory of nature', is an ideal model for
research in phylogeography. In this area, the darkling beetles of the genus Dendarus …

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 …

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 …

The darkling beetle Adesmia cancellata Solier, 1835 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) with a
wide distribution throughout the Arabian Desert, is considered a dominant arthropod in the …

The genus Blaps is an emblematic group of large flightless beetles adapted to semi‐arid
and arid environments. About 230 species have been described in the subgenus Blaps …

New records on Tenebrionidae from four island groups of the southern Aegean (Santorini,
Astypalaia, Nisyros and Kalymnos, with their satellite islets–26 islands in total) allowed …

Aim This research aimed to study if a transitional character can be postulated for the
tenebrionid beetle (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) fauna of the Aegean Islands, and to identify …

Aim Discerning the relative role of geographical and ecological factors in promoting
diversification is central to our understanding of the origin and maintenance of biodiversity …

This paper is based on the distributions of native tenebrionid species and subspecies on 33
islands in the Aegean Sea. On a total of 166 tenebrionid taxa recorded from the studied …

Aim To reconstruct the evolutionary history of a genus of freshwater beetle with a pan‐
Mediterranean distribution, to test classic hypotheses which proposed a Miocene origin for …
