Identifying floral hosts of cerambycid beetles using palynology
… species of long-horned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). Palynivory by cerambycid beetles is common in the 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 …

THE IMPACT OF MICROCLIMATE ON BRANCH COLONIZATION BY NEOTROPICAL CERAMBYCID BEETLES
… study in French Guiana revealed that wood-boring cerambycid beetles preferentially colonized branches at ground level in the dry season, but shifted to canopy level in the rainy season. The current beetle-rearing study was conducted to confirm the occurrence of this seasonal shift, explore …

Chemical communication in cerambycid beetles and the molecular basis of olfaction
Longhorned beetles of the insect family Cerambycidae are a highly diverse group of insects whose larvae bore into the stems of forbs and the wood and roots of trees, and the family contains numerous pests of agriculture, forestry, and structural timber. The reproductive biology of adult cerambycids …

Differentiating morphologically similar cerambycid beetle species by molecular and chemical analyses
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2027-08-01

THE IMPACT OF FOREST SUCCESSIONAL STATUS ON COMMUNITY STRUCTURE OF NEOTROPICAL CERAMBYCID BEETLES
… affects community composition of saproxylic cerambycids, which, as early colonists of moribund trees, have an important role in nutrient cycling. In the lowland rain forest of Costa Rica, thirty-nine trees in five plant families (Fabaceae, Lecythidaceae, Malvaceae, Moraceae, and Sapotaceae) …

Blending synthetic pheromones of cerambycid beetles to develop trap lures that simultaneously attract multiple species
We evaluated attraction of cerambycid beetle species to blends of known cerambycid pheromones to determine whether such blends could be used as effective trap lures for detecting and monitoring multiple species simultaneously. Pheromone-baited traps captured 1,358 cerambycid beetles, of which 1,101 …

Seasonal and diel periodicity of Cerambycid beetles in east-central Illinois: the potential for cross attraction
… appears to be considerable 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 …

Fielding a strong defense: optimizing the effectiveness of pheromone-based lures for detection of cerambycid beetles
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2022-11-11 without embargo terms

Do Saproxylic Curculionids Affect the Fitness of Co-occurring Cerambycids?
… beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on cerambycid beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) that coexisted in dead tree branches in Costa Rica. Co-occurrence analysis and generalized regressions were used to test associations between cerambycid and curculionid species. Three cerambycid species …

Species-specific blends of shared pheromone components prevent cross attraction among sympatric species of cerambycid beetles (subfamily Lamiinae)
… parsimony within the large beetle family Cerambycidae, with closely related species producing the same or very similar pheromone components. Sympatric species in the subfamily Cerambycinae, that share pheromone components, are known to avoid cross attraction by differing in seasonal and/or …

Effect of trap height on abundance and species diversity of cerambycid beetles captured in forests of east-central Illinois
… bait, influence the abundance and diversity of cerambycid beetles that were captured in forested areas of east-central Illinois. Traps were set at three heights above the ground (~1.5 m in understory, ~6 m in lower canopy, ~12 m in the mid canopy), and were baited with either a fermenting bait …

1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1,2-propandione is a crucial pheromone component of the rare North American cerambycid beetle Dryobius sexnotatus
… traps in detecting rarely encountered species of cerambycids. It also provides further evidence that the pyrrole represents another conserved pheromone motif within the Cerambycinae.

Chemically-Mediated Mate Location and Recognition in Longhorned Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
Larvae of many cerambycid species require woody host plants that are stressed or weakened in some way. Such hosts represent an ephemeral and unpredictable resource, with prime subcortical tissues being rapidly degraded by a variety of wood-feeding insects. Thus, the first larvae to colonize a host …

Host plant relationships and chemical communication in the cerambycidae
The beetle family Cerambycidae is one of the largest groups of insects. Commonly referred to as longhorned beetles, the larvae of cerambycids usually feed on the tissues of woody plants and can be important insect pests, damaging and even killing trees in managed and natural landscapes. In this …

Wood trait preferences of Neotropical xylophagous beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
… the nutrients available to xylophagous insects. Cerambycid beetles feed on substrates that vary in these traits, but little is known about how they affect community composition. The goal of this project is to document the abundance of two cerambycid subfamilies (Cerambycinae and Lamiinae) and the …

Effects of Natural Enemies and Host Condition on Populations of Insect Pests of Trees
… on parasitoids of the wood-boring larvae of cerambycid beetles to examine the relationship between the feeding niche of beetles and the number and types of parasitoids that attack them. Significantly fewer species of parasitoids attacked beetle larvae that feed on roots than those that feed …

Host plant associations and chemical ecology of Cerambycidae
… number of longhorned beetle species (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) are considered major pests worldwide. Longhorned beetles include some of the most damaging pests of woody plants and invasive species pose a serious threat to North American forests. The beetle family of Cerambycidae is a diverse group …

Use of sensory information by cerambycids and their natural enemies to locate resources and mates
… to extend knowledge of the cues and signals that cerambycids and their natural enemies use to locate mates and resources. Many species of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) prefer to feed in trees that are stressed, weakened, or in the process of dying. These resources are ephemeral, …

Pheromone chemistry and reproductive isolation in the subfamily Lamiinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
Research on the chemical ecology of cerambycid beetles has revealed that the pheromone chemistry of related species is often highly conserved. Sympatric species often share pheromone components, even having identical attractant pheromones. For example, many cerambycines native to different …

Evolution and Taxonomic Distribution of Volatile Pheromones in Cerambycine Longhorned Beetles
… use in insects. The diverse beetle family Cerambycidae shows considerable variation in mate location strategies, roles of volatile pheromones, and organs involved in pheromone release, making it an ideal group for studying the evolution of pheromone communication in insects. Cerambycids are …
