Sistemática da tribo Platyarthrini Bates, 1870 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Cerambycinae) na região neotropical
The present dissertation deals with Neotropical Platyarthrini. Platyarthron Guérin-Ménéville, 1844 and Stenygra Audinet-Serville, 1834 are revised and illustrated. S. histrio nigrina Franz, 1954 is found to be a chromatic variation of S. histrio Audinet-Serville, 1834, without geographical …

Sistemática e zoogeografia do gênero Tomopterus Audinet-Serville, 1833 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Cerambycinae, Rhinotragini)
The neotropical genus Tomopterus Audinet-Serville, 1833, is revised. Six groups of species, based on comparative study of the external morphology and male terminalia, are proposed: bispeculifer group (T. rufotibialis, T. bispeculifer, T. roppai); basimaculatus group (T. basimaculatus); albopilosus …

1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1,2-propandione is a crucial pheromone component of the rare North American cerambycid beetle Dryobius sexnotatus
… species of longhorned beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae. Here, we report the first confirmed identification of this pyrrole as a pheromone component of a cerambycine species native to North America, the rare Dryobius sexnotatus Linsley. Headspace volatiles from males contained …

Seasonal and diel periodicity of Cerambycid beetles in east-central Illinois: the potential for cross attraction
… parsimony within the cerambycid beetle subfamily Cerambycinae in relation to pheromone biosynthesis and use. Aggregation pheromones, produced by the males, usually conform to a structural motif of a six-carbon chain with hydroxyl or carbonyl groups at C2 and C3, and closely related species often …

The Influence of Chirality on the Behavioral Responses of Longhorned Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) to Volatile and Contact Pheromones
… documented in the longhorned beetle subfamily Cerambycinae, but little is known about how stereochemistry affects behavioral responses of conspecifics to contact pheromones in this subfamily, and volatile pheromones in the Lamiinae.

Evolution and Taxonomic Distribution of Volatile Pheromones in Cerambycine Longhorned Beetles
… of species in the diverse cerambycid subfamily Cerambycinae by describing volatile aggregation pheromones of two species, by assessing the taxonomic distribution of a morphological trait associated with volatile pheromone production, and by proposing the first molecular phylogeny of cerambycine …

Chemical communication in cerambycid beetles and the molecular basis of olfaction
… an attractant for some species in the subfamily Cerambycinae. I also described alkan-2-ones as a novel and potentially widespread motif of minor pheromone constituents in the subfamily Cerambycinae that may act to chemically separate cerambycid species. I also present a comprehensive survey of …

Wood trait preferences of Neotropical xylophagous beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
… the abundance of two cerambycid subfamilies (Cerambycinae and Lamiinae) and the WD, MC, BT, and N content in the wood they eat. In a salvage project conducted adjacent to the Panama Canal, trees were felled and exposed to Cerambycidae for oviposition. Disks from branches of differing thickness …

Blending synthetic pheromones of cerambycid beetles to develop trap lures that simultaneously attract multiple species
… belonged to three species in the subfamily Cerambycinae: Neoclytus acuminatus (F.), Neoclytus mucronatus (F.), and Xylotrechus colonus (F.). Beetles of these species were significantly attracted to synthetic blends that contained their pheromone components (isomers of 3-hydroxy-2-hexanone …

Effect of trap height on abundance and species diversity of cerambycid beetles captured in forests of east-central Illinois
… beetles of 49 species in the subfamilies Cerambycinae, Lamiinae, Lepturinae, Parandrinae, and the related Disteniidae. Adults of the cerambycine Eburia quadrigeminata (Say) were attracted by fermenting bait, and most were captured by traps at the highest position. Four species were …

Species-specific blends of shared pheromone components prevent cross attraction among sympatric species of cerambycid beetles (subfamily Lamiinae)
… components. Sympatric species in the subfamily Cerambycinae, that share pheromone components, are known to avoid cross attraction by differing in seasonal and/or circadian flight period, or due to minor pheromone components that serve as synergists for conspecifics or antagonists for …

Identifying floral hosts of cerambycid beetles using palynology
… subfamily Lepturinae and occurs sporadically in Cerambycinae. The current knowledge of feeding in this group is inferred from floral host records, which are biased against tall trees because they are inaccessible to naturalists. I present a simplified palynological method for extracting and …

There’s more than one way to beat the heat: What anal probes reveal about thermal responses in Neotropical beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).
<p>Increasing global temperatures have been linked to shifts in the distributions and preferred microhabitats of terrestrial species. This trend is predicted to impact tropical forest insects, which may already be exposed to conditions that bring them close to their thermal maxima. Tropical …
