We sampled ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera, Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) from four tree species: Artocarpus altilis, Ficus nodosa, Leea indica and Nauclea orientalis, at three sites forming a 1000 km transect in lowland rainforests of northern Papua New Guinea. A standardized volume of wood from trunk, branches and twigs was sampled for ambrosia beetles from three individuals of the four tree species at each site. Each tree was killed standing and left exposed to beetle colonization for 20 days prior to sampling. We obtained 12 751 individuals from 84 morphospecies of ambrosia beetles. We surveyed most of the local species richness at each site, predicted by Chao 2 species richness estimates. The similarity of ambrosia beetle communities, estimated by Chao-Sorensen index, was not correlated with their geographical distance. Likelihood analysis and Q-mode analysis using Monte Carlo-generated null distribution of beetles among sites supported the hypothesis that the assemblages of ambrosia beetles at different sites are drawn from the same species pool, regardless of their geographical distance. Tree part (trunk, branch, or twig) was more important predictor of the composition of ambrosia beetle communities than was the host species or geographical location. All three variables, however, explained only a small portion of variability in ambrosia assemblages. The distribution of ambrosia beetles among tree parts, tree species and study sites was mostly random, suggesting limited importance of host specificity or dispersal limitation.10aPlatypodinae10aScolytinae1 aHulcr, Jiri1 aNovotny, Vojtech1 aMaurer, Brian, A.1 aCognato, Anthony, I.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/low-beta-diversity-ambrosia-beetles-coleoptera-curculionidae-scolytinae-and-platypodinae-lowland-rai02460nas a2200205   4500008004100000020001400041245012800055210006900183260001300252300001200265490000700277520173400284653001702018653001502035100001602050700001802066700001502084700002102099856013402120       2007                        eng d  a0307-694600aHost specificity of ambrosia and bark beetles (Col., Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) in a New Guinea rainforest0 aHost specificity of ambrosia and bark beetles Col Curculionidae   cDecember  a762-7720 v323 a1. Bark and ambrosia beetles are crucial for woody biomass decomposition in tropical forests worldwide. Despite that, quantitative data on their host specificity are scarce. 2. Bark and ambrosia beetles (Scolytinae and Platypodinae) were reared from 13 species of tropical trees representing 11 families from all major lineages of dicotyledonous plants. Standardised samples of beetle-infested twigs, branches, trunks, and roots were taken from three individuals of each tree species growing in a lowland tropical rainforest in Papua New Guinea. 3. A total of 81 742 beetles from 74 species were reared, 67 of them identified. Local species richness of bark and ambrosia beetles was estimated at 80[long dash]92 species. 4. Ambrosia beetles were broad generalists as 95% of species did not show any preference for a particular host species or clade. Similarity of ambrosia beetle communities from different tree species was not correlated with phylogenetic distances between tree species. Similarity of ambrosia beetle communities from individual conspecific trees was not higher than that from heterospecific trees and different parts of the trees hosted similar ambrosia beetle communities, as only a few species preferred particular tree parts. 5. In contrast, phloeophagous bark beetles showed strict specificity to host plant genus or family. However, this guild was poor in species (12 species) and restricted to only three plant families (Moraceae, Myristicaceae, Sapindaceae). 6. Local diversity of both bark and ambrosia beetles is not driven by the local diversity of trees in tropical forests, since ambrosia beetles display no host specificity and bark beetles are species poor and restricted to a few plant families.10aPlatypodinae10aScolytinae1 aHulcr, Jiri1 aMogia, Martin1 aIsua, Brus1 aNovotny, Vojtech  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/host-specificity-ambrosia-and-bark-beetles-col-curculionidae-scolytinae-and-platypodinae-new-guinea02614nas a2200217   4500008004500000020001400045245015500059210006900214260001300283300001400296490000700310520180000317653001702117653001502134100001602149700002202165700002602187700002402213700002402237856013502261       2008                        Engldsh    a0046-225X00aA comparison of bark and ambrosia beetle communities in two forest types in northern Thailand (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae)0 acomparison of bark and ambrosia beetle communities in two forest  cDecember  a1461-14700 v373 aMany ecological studies of tropical insects are based on small sample sizes or lack sampling scheme rigor, which prevents testing ecological hypotheses and comparing samples from different sites and times. Here we present the results of quantitative trapping of bark and ambrosia beetles over 2 yr at two localities in northern Thailand separated by 5 km, 1,100 m in altitude, and in different forest types. Beetles were collected using a spatially and temporally standardized sampling scheme, followed by a quantitative analysis of community composition and its responses to environmental variables and trapping techniques. In total, 118 species were collected, but the species accumulation curves show little sign of leveling off. Based on slightly different species accumulation rates, the more humid site has a little higher species richness. Species composition was significantly different between the sites, which was not a result of undersampling of rare species. a diversity at each site contributes to the regional diversity more than the turnover of species between the sites ((3 diversity). Mean annual temperature and humidity have larger effects on the community species composition than seasonal fluctuations of temperature and humidity at each site-beetles do choose their environment but are aseasonal. The site with greater humidity supported significantly more species living in a symbiosis with fungi (ambrosia beetles), whereas the drier and more disturbed site hosted a greater number of circumtropical colonizer species. Each of the different types of trap had a bias for certain taxonomic groups. The results show that even modest samples, if properly structured and analyzed, can answer many ecological questions and can serve in biodiversity comparisons on broad scales.10aPlatypodinae10aScolytinae1 aHulcr, Jiri1 aBeaver, Roger, A.1 aPuranasakul, Wantanee1 aDole, Stephanie, A.1 aSonthichai, Saowapa  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/comparison-bark-and-ambrosia-beetle-communities-two-forest-types-northern-thailand-coleoptera-curcul02394nas a2200205   4500008004100000020001400041245009000055210006900145260000800214300001200222490000700234520172700241653001701968100001801985700002102003700001502024700001902039700002102058856010902079       2011                        eng d  a0095-362800aFungus Symbionts Colonizing the Galleries of the Ambrosia Beetle Platypus quercivorus0 aFungus Symbionts Colonizing the Galleries of the Ambrosia Beetle  cJul  a106-1200 v623 aIsolations were made to determine the fungal symbionts colonizing Platypus quercivorus beetle galleries of dead or dying Quercus laurifolia, Castanopsis cuspidata, Quercus serrata, Quercus crispula, and Quercus robur. For these studies, logs from oak wilt-killed trees were collected from Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Fungi were isolated from the: (1) entrances of beetle galleries, (2) vertical galleries, (3) lateral galleries, and (4) the larval cradle of P. quercivorus in each host tree. Among the fungus colonies which appeared on YM agar plates, 1,219 were isolated as the representative isolates for fungus species inhabiting in the galleries based on their cultural characteristics. The validity of the visual classification of the fungus colonies was checked and if necessary properly corrected using microsatellite-primed PCR fingerprints. The nucleotide sequence of the D1/D2 region of the large subunit nuclear rRNA gene detected 38 fungus species (104 strains) of which three species, i.e., Candida sp. 3, Candida kashinagacola (both yeasts), and the filamentous fungus Raffaelea quercivora were isolated from all the tree species. The two yeasts were most prevalent in the interior of galleries, regardless of host tree species, suggesting their close association with the beetle. A culture-independent method, terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis was also used to characterize the fungus flora of beetle galleries. T-RFLP patterns showed that yeast species belonging to the genus Ambrosiozyma frequently occurred on the gallery walls along with the two Candida species. Ours is the first report showing the specific fungi inhabiting the galleries of a platypodid ambrosia beetle.10aPlatypodinae1 aEndoh, Rikiya1 aSuzuki, Motofumi1 aOkada, Gen1 aTakeuchi, Yuko1 aFutai, Kazuyoshi  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/fungus-symbionts-colonizing-galleries-ambrosia-beetle-platypus-quercivorus02264nas a2200181   4500008004800000020001400048245014100062210006900203260001800272300001000290490000700300520155600307653001701863100002301880700002401903700002001927856013501947       2009                        Portdguese    a0104-726400aEntomofaune Entomofauna associated to leguminous trees in environmental protection area, in Pinheiral City, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil0 aEntomofaune Entomofauna associated to leguminous trees in enviro  cjaneiro-junho  a27-410 v293 aThe objective of this work was to evaluate the entomofaune associated to the leguminous trees native in an environmental protection area at 526,57m above in the ground.

The sampling considered, were conducted in five species: Acacia mangium, A. holocericea, A. decurrens; A. mearnsii e A. auriculiformis. The treatment was analyzed by variance tests. In all 1.058 adult individuals were captured. It was observed that the control/treatment, localized in the center of the area at 1m above the ground captured the heights' number of insects, with 42,5 [plus or minus] 21,4 individuals, mainly from the Coleoptera order. The attractive effect of the ethanoic bait traps was especially efficient for Coleoptera order, representing 91,6% of the captured insects. In this traps fixed in A. mangium and Acacia mearnsii it was registered the majority of individuals represented, respectively, 467 (44,2%) and 337 (31,7%).

The apparent underrepresentation of common Caribbean weevil lineages such as the Cryptorhynchinae suggests that subaerial land bridges during the Oligocene-Miocene period were important in facilitating their colonization of the main island of Puerto Rico.10aAnthribidae10aBrentidae10aCryptorhynchinae10aCurculionidae10aCurculioninae10aEntiminae10aMolytinae10aPlatypodinae1 aFranz, N., M.1 aO'Brien, Charles, W.1 aNunez, D.R.  uhttp://academic.uprm.edu/~franz/publications/MonaWeevils.pdf02371nas a2200169   4500008004100000245009400041210006900135260000900204300001200213490000700225520181800232653001702050653001502067100002902082700002102111856006902132       2010                        eng d00aBark beetles and pinhole borers (Curculionidae, Scolytinae, Platypodinae) alien to Europe0 aBark beetles and pinhole borers Curculionidae Scolytinae Platypo  c2010  a227-2510 v563 aInvasive bark beetles are posing a major threat to forest resources around the world. DAISIE's web-based and printed databases of invasive species in Europe provide an incomplete and misleading picture of the alien scolytines and platypodines. We present a review of the alien bark beetle fauna of Europe based on primary literature through 2009. We find that there are 18 Scolytinae and one Platypodinae species apparently established in Europe, from 14 different genera. Seventeen species are naturalized. We argue that Trypodendron laeve, commonly considered alien in Europe, is a native species; conversely, we hypothesize that Xyleborus pfeilii, which has always been treated as indigenous, is an alien species from Asia. We also point out the possibility that the Asian larch bark beetle Ips subelongatus is established in European Russia. We show that there has been a marked acceleration in the rate of new introductions to Europe, as is also happening in North America: seven alien species were first recorded in the last decade. We present information on the biology, origins, and distributions of the alien species. All but four are polyphagous, and 11 are inbreeders: two traits which increase invasiveness. Eleven species are native to Asia, six to the Americas, and one is from the Canary Islands. Th e Mediterranean is especially favorable for invasives, hosting a large proportion of the aliens (9/19). Italy, France and Spain have the largest numbers of alien species (14, 10 and 7, respectively). We point out that the low numbers for at least some countries is likely due to under-reporting. Finally, we discuss the difficulties associated with identifying newly invasive species. Lack of good illustrations and keys hinder identification, particularly for species coming from Asia and Oceania.10aPlatypodinae10aScolytinae1 aKirkendall, Lawrence, R.1 aFaccoli, Massimo  uhttp://pensoftonline.net/zookeys/index.php/journal/issue/view/5801543nas a2200241   4500008004100000245008700041210006900128300001000197490000600207520083200213653001601045653001401061653002101075653001801096653001801114653001401132653001401146653001701160100001801177700002501195700001601220856006501236       2009                        eng d00aNew records of weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) from Mona Island, Puerto Rico.0 aNew records of weevils Coleoptera Curculionoidea from Mona Islan  a82-980 v83 aAn inventory of the weevil fauna of Mona Island, Puerto Rico, is provided.
