“…It was also our aim to test whether photoperiod and temperature are the abiotic factors that most strongly influence the seasonality of Chrysomelidae at different sites. As this is one of the most species rich family within Coleoptera (Bouchard et al 2009), and one of the most frequently sampled in terms of individuals in many surveys, mainly with malaise traps (Marinoni & Dutra 1993, Furth et al 2003, Linzmeier et al 2006, Linzmeier & Ribeiro-Costa 2012 it is expected that its seasonality should represent the seasonal activity pattern of Coleoptera, and similarly, the dominant species would represent the distribution pattern of the family at each site where they were sampled. Furthermore, we intended to evaluate whether there are differences in seasonal patterns between sampling years and to determine the seasonal pattern of the ten most abundant species sampled, seeking to identify which abiotic factors analyzed have a greater influence on their seasonal distributions.…”

“…Beetles occupy a wide range of habitats, where they can be predators, herbivores or saprophages. Among these, the Chrysomelidae stand out as one of the most diverse families, with over 36,000 species, most of them occurring in the Neotropics (Costa 2000, Bouchard et al 2009). They are essentially herbivorous, feeding preferably on Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Convolvulaceae, Asteraceae and Poaceae (Jolivet 1988, 1992, Jolivet & Hawkeswood 1995.…”

Abstract:The aim of this paper was to describe the seasonal patterns of Chrysomelidae and of its most abundant species at eight sites in different geomorphological and floristic regions in the state of Paraná, southern Brazil. Samples with Malaise traps, from August 1986 to July 1988 were performed. The Chrysomelidae showed seasonal patterns with the highest abundance in the spring and/or summer at all sites, but with variations in the months of highest captures. Photoperiod was the variable that most influenced the seasonality of Chrysomelidae, and along with temperature and relative humidity, determined most of the seasonal patterns of the family at the different sites. Some dominant species of Chrysomelidae showed different seasonal pattern compared to the family level. A better knowledge of the seasonal distribution patterns of these species will only be possible when their life history, such as host plants and behavior, was better understood. Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever os padrões de sazonalidade de Chrysomelidae e de suas espécies dominantes, capturadas em oito locais de diferentes regiões geomorfológicas e florísticas do estado do Paraná, sul do Brasil. As coletas foram realizadas com armadilha Malaise de agosto/1986 a julho/1988. Chrysomelidae apresentou padrão sazonal com picos de abundância na primavera e/ou verão em todos os locais, mas com variações quanto aos meses de maior captura. O fotoperíodo foi a variável com maior influência na sazonalidade de Chrysomelidae e juntamente com a temperatura e umidade relativa, determinaram a maioria dos padrões sazonais da família nos diferentes locais. Algumas das espécies dominantes de Chrysomelidae apresentaram padrão sazonal distinto do observado para a família. O entendimento dos padrões de distribuição das espécies de Chrysomelidae somente será possível quando informações sobre a história de vida, como plantas hospedeiras e comportamento, forem melhor esclarecidas. Palavras-chave: abundância, Alticini, insetos herbívoros, padrão de distribuição, sazonalidade.

“…Most rove beetles, such as those species of the genus Philonthus, are primarily considered carnivorous and have been reported to play an important role as predators in agroecosystems (Hu and Frank, 1997;Balog et al, 2008;Vankosky et al, 2011). Other species of Staphylinidae have been described as mycophagous or saprophagous (Bohac, 1999), though there are a few species that have been reported as herbivorous (Bouchard et al, 2009;Klimaszewski et al, 2010). Yet, to our knowledge there are no reports of zoophytophagous species within this group.…”

“…The Coleoptera includes 4 suborders (Archostemata, Myxophaga, Adephaga and Polyphaga) with about 360,000 species (Jäch & Balke, 2008;Bouchard, Grebennikov, Smith & Douglas, 2009;Van Vondel, Ostovan & Ghahari, 2017). The Polyphaga is the largest group in coleopteran with about 335,000 species placed into 153 families (Slipinski, Lenschen & Lawrence, 2011) and suborder Adephaga comprises 11 families worldwide (Van Vondel et al 2017).…”

This study was conducted in Adana, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, Kilis and Osmaniye provinces of the Eastern Mediterranean Region between the years of 2011 and 2013. In this study, it was attempted to describe 51 species which were determined to belong to the five families. Of all these species, 41 were from Dytiscidae, 1 species was from Gyrinidae, 6 species were from Haliplidae, 2 species were from Noteridae, and 1 species was from Spercheidae. Two of them were new records for Turkey (Hydroporus scalesianus and Hydrovatus acuminatus), two species were also second record for Turkey (Haliplus fulvus and Ilybius quadriguttalus) and one species was first exact locality record for Turkey (Haliplus obliquus).
