Contribution to the knowledge of long-horned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Latvia
Journal Title: Baltic Journal of Coleopterology - Year 2013, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
The current paper provides data on the occurrence and distribution of 48 long-horned beetle species in Latvia. One species – Grammoptera ustulata (Schaller, 1783) – is reported for the first time for the fauna of the Baltic states (incl. Latvia). Two species – Agapanthia violacea (Fabricius, 1775) and Phytoecia pustulata (Schrank, 1776) – are new for the Latvian fauna. New findings for a number of rare species are presented. For two species – Stenurella bifasciata bifasciata (O.F.Müller, 1776) and Phytoecia virgula (Charpentier, 1825) – the tendency to expand their range northwards is detected. This finding, possibly, indicates climate changes.

Standard deviation of carabid size in Western German forest succession – a complex picture
The large size range of carabids (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in, e.g., Western German beech and Douglas fir forests depends on the colonization of various habitats and microhabitats. These may change in the run of forest suc...
