“…These fields can have an impact on their daily activities, behavior, and spatial orientation (Klotz & Jander, 2003;V acha, 2006;V acha et al, 2008). Published data of SMF effects on beetles are scarce, especially for carabid beetles (Proli c & Nenadovi c, 1994V acha et al, 2008;Todorovi c et al, 2013;Spasi c et al, 2015).

“…In addition, the neuroendocrine system of insects plays an important role in controlling their motor behavior, which can be altered by SMFs (Osborne, 1996). Published data of SMF effects on beetles are scarce, especially for carabid beetles (Proli c & Nenadovi c, 1994V acha et al, 2008;Todorovi c et al, 2013;Spasi c et al, 2015). Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate effects of an SMF (110 mT) on six behavioral parameters (travel distance, average speed while in motion, travel distance of the head, body rotations, time in movement, and immobility time) in adults of Laemostenus (Pristonychus) punctatus (Dejean) (Coleoptera: Carabidae).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a static magnetic field on six behavioral parameters (travel distance, average speed while in motion, travel distance of the head, body rotations, time in movement, and immobility time) of the ground beetle Laemostenus (Pristonychus) punctatus (Dejean) (Coleoptera: Carabidae). Adults of this troglophilic and guanophilic beetle were randomly divided into two groups, the first exposed to a static magnetic field of 110 mT for 5 h, and the second a control group. Beetle behavior after these 5 h was monitored in an open-field test for 12 min and analyzed using ANY-maze software. Exposure to a static magnetic field of 110 mT increased motor activity (travel distance and average speed while in motion) in the first 4 min. After that there were no significant differences. We conclude that the applied static magnetic field affects motor activity of adult specimens of L. (P.) punctatus, and we discuss the mechanism, possibly through acting on the control centers responsible for orientation and movement.

Overwintering ability and habitat preference of Morimus asper: a two-year mark-recapture study with implications for conservation and forest management

Morimus asper is a saproxylic longhorn beetle associated with mature forests. Its flightless condition makes its colonization of new trees in fragmented areas difficult. Our 2-year mark-recapture study revealed new information about the survival ability, population dynamics and habitat preference of M. asper in three beech forests of central Italy. Daily surveys were performed from May to July in 2013 and 2014, inspecting suitable trees for hosting the species. A low percentage of overwintered adults was observed for both sexes, with a very long lifespan: 282–409 days. Almost all individuals were recaptured on the tree of their first capture, and dispersal (20–451 m) was recorded only in thirteen individuals. Adult phenology showed two peaks of activity (middle of May and middle of June). Population estimates varied significantly according to site and year. Mean daily temperature affected recapture probability and total captures (optimal range of 15–26 °C). The species showed preference for huge lying trees, branches on the ground, a low percentage of debarked surface and high canopy closure. M. asper showed a high survival probability, but the few movements observed, combined with its flightless condition, suggest strongly that this species has a low dispersal ability, highly threatened by local fragmentation. Furthermore, almost all captures were made on the same tree, making this a “key tree” for population viability. Forest management techniques should retain many lying trees, abundant coarse woody debris and a dense canopy that ensures a ‘cooler’ temperature in the understory, favouring M. asper and its conservatio
