Going underwater: Multiple origins and functional morphology of piercing-sucking feeding and tracheal system adaptations in water scavenger beetle larvae (Coleoptera: Hydrophiloidea)
(Oxford University Press, 2021-09)
Larvae of water scavenger beetles (Coleoptera: Hydrophiloidea) are adapted to a wide variety of aquatic habitats, butlittle is known about functional and evolutionary aspects of these adaptations. We review the functional ...
First fossil predaceous diving beetle from the late pleistocene of Buenos Aires, Argentina
(Asociacion Paleontologica Argentina, 2015)
Characterization and mapping of sensilla on the head appendages of noterid larvae (Coleoptera: Noteridae), and development of a preliminary biometric method for taxa delimitation
(Wiley-liss, div John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2020-08)
Larvae of the burrowing water beetle family Noteridae are distributed worldwide and are often abundant in a broad range of aquatic habitats, playing an important role in structuring freshwater communities, yet they have ...

The primary chaetotaxy of the head capsule and head appendages of the larvaof Chaetarthria bruchi Balfour-Browne is described for the first time. Morphometric charactersderived from the head capsule and mouthparts are ...
Gyretes Brullé (Coleoptera: Gyrinidae) from Brazil: Morphology of eggs and early instars
(Magnolia Press, 2018-11)
Taxonomic information regarding Gyrinidae is mostly based on adults, especially due to the difficulty in collecting immatures and assigning them to a particular species. Association between immatures and adults is sometimes ...
Composição e distribuição de coleoptera aquáticos (insecta) em córregos de baixa ordem no Estado de São Paulo, Brasil.
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosBRUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERN, 2007-05-04)
The beetles are an important part of the insect fauna of most aquatic ecosystems. However,
with the exception of the Elmidae, they have not been used extensively for water quality
evaluation. This is due in large part to ...
Evolution of the Juan Fernández diving beetle, Rhantus selkirki (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-03)
Here we provide evidence that confinement in Robinson Crusoe Island (located about 660 km west of continental Chile) over evolutionary time leads to strong morphological modifications in diving beetle (Dytiscidae) larvae. ...

(Springer, 2007-12)
Predaceous larvae of the water scavenger beetle Tropisternus setiger (Germar) are common inhabitants of variable environments in which prey availability may vary widely. We conducted laboratory experiments to assess the ...
