This review summarizes the literature related to the chemical ecology of the Cerambycidae
and provides a brief overview of cerambycid biology, ecology, economic significance, and …

Research since 2004 has shown that the use of volatile attractants and pheromones is
widespread in the large beetle family Cerambycidae, with pheromones now identified from …

Scolytine beetles show enormous diversity in their mating behaviors, host plant
associations, chemical and acoustic signaling, symbiotic relationships, and other critical …

Distribution. A worldwide family with approxi mately 35,000 described species (database
Titan). The family is presently divided into eight sub families: Prion inae (over 1000 species) …

We review the primary literature to document the incidence of cannibalism among insects
that typically are not carnivorous. Most of the cannibalistic species were coleopterans and …

Given their popularity with naturalists and collectors, and in some cases their economic
importance, it is remarkable how little is known about the basic biology of most cerambycid …

Commensal microorganisms have significant impacts on the health of many insect hosts.
Little is known, however, about the structure of commensal bacterial communities associated …

Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) play important roles in temperate
conifer ecosystems, and also cause substantial economic losses. Although their general life …

We investigated the hypothesis that wood-boring beetles in the genus Monochamus
(Cerambycidae) utilize pheromones of sympatric bark beetles as host-finding kairomones …

Wood decomposition is a central process contributing to global carbon and nutrient cycling.
Quantifying the role of the major biotic agents of wood decomposition, ie insects and fungi, is …
