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 …

The family Tenebrionidae represents an important faunal component of Mediterranean
coastal ecosystems. Until a recent fire (July 2000), which unfortunately destroyed large …

Three non-phoretic blister-beetle species (Mylabris schreibersi, Actenodia distincta and
Cabalia segetum) were investigated to trace their Siculo-Maghrebian biogeographic origins …

We aim to unravel the biogeographic structuring of western Palaearctic longhorn beetles
with focus on the location of different refugia, barriers to dispersal and postglacial range …

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

Aim To test different biogeographical scenarios for the evolution of the ground beetles of the
Trechus fulvus group, a lineage with many narrowly distributed flightless subterranean …

The tenebrionid fauna of the Tuscan Islands (Central Italy) is well known and is an ideal
system for studying the role of current and historical factors in determining the …

The species-area relationship (SAR) and the latitudinal gradient in species richness are the
most widespread and best-documented patterns in ecology, yet few studies have explored …

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 …

Abstract The genus Pimelia Fabricius is the most speciose in the tribe Pimeliini (Coleoptera:
Tenebrionidae). It consists of approximately 320 species distributed mainly in xeric …
