This three-volume series represents a comprehensive treatment of the beetles of Australia, a
relatively under-studied fauna that includes many unusual and unique lineages found …

Abstract 'Carabidologists do it all'(Niemelä 1996a) is a phrase with which most European
carabidologists are familiar. Indeed, during the last half a century, professional and amateur …

Socially parasitic myrmecophily has evolved numerous times in arthropods, but
myrmecophilous lineages are non-randomly distributed across phylogeny. Evolution of this …

Myrmecophily provides various examples of how social structures can be overcome to
exploit vast and well-protected resources. Ant nest beetles (Paussinae) are particularly well …

Fossils sometimes show unusual morphological features absent in living organisms, making
it difficult to reconstruct both their affinity and their function. We describe here a new …

The first record of the tribe Paussini Latreille is reported based on a specimen from late
Eocene Rovno amber. It is the first known close relative of the genus Eohomopterus …

Larval structural characters are an important component in phylogenetic reconstruction of
the subfamily Paussinae. Based on larval characters, two main cladistic hypotheses have …

Paussus favieri Fairmaire is one of only two species of the myrmecophilous carabid tribe
Paussini known from Europe. Larvae are known from only 10 of the 580 paussine species …

Обладая высокой численностью и большим видовым разнообразием, жужелицы

Abstract The Hawaiian Islands support a speciose radiation of native Mecyclothorax beetles
(Coleoptera: Carabidae). This lineage has undergone a classical island radiation resulting …
