Recent progress in beetle palaeontology has incited us to re‐address the evolutionary
history of the group. The Permian† Tshekardocoleidae had elytra that covered the posterior …

The hind wings of all known families and most subfamilies of Coleoptera are illustrated,
annotated and discussed utilising the terminology of Kukalová-Peck and Lawrence, with a …

The subfamily Scarabaeinae has been traditionally divided into tribes on the basis of
morphological similarity between groups of genera or, even, dissimilarity shown by a single …

Minute moss beetles (Hydraenidae) are one of the most speciose and widespread families
of aquatic Coleoptera, with an estimated 4000 extant species, found in the majority of …

Tailoring ultraconserved element (UCE) probe set design to focal taxa has been
demonstrated to improve locus recovery and phylogenomic inference. However, beyond …

The Scirtidae Fleming, 1821 has been identified as one of the earliest diverging groups of
Polyphagan beetles and is particularly speciose in Australia. However, very little is known …

Conservation efforts must be evidence-based, so rapid and economically feasible methods
should be used to quantify diversity and distribution patterns. We have attempted to …

Relatively few studies have focused on evolutionary losses of sexually selected male traits.
We use light and electron microscopy to study the male and female reproductive anatomy of …

The systematic position and the phylogenetic relationship of Rhysodidae members is still
debated, with some authors considering the group as a separate family of Adephaga, while …

Echolocating bats and their eared insect prey are in an acoustic evolutionary war. Moths
produce anti-bat sounds that startle bat predators, signal noxiousness, mimic unpalatable …
