Forests are important habitats that harbor high biodiversity and have great economic value
to humans. These ecosystems depend on saproxylic organisms, which play a crucial role in …

Abstract Longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is one of the largest, most diverse,
ecologically and economically important groups of beetles in the world. In the following …

Dorcadionini is a highly speciose tribe within Cerambycidae and is also one of the most
challenging in terms of species identification owing to the large number of taxa, intraspecific …

Abstract During the Last Glacial Maximum in the Northern Hemisphere, expanding ice
sheets forced a large number of plants, including trees, to retreat from their primary …

We studied the phylogeography and genetic diversity of the pine sawyer Monochamus
alternatus (Hope)(Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) to understand its colonization dynamics …

Gall‐forming insects induce various types of galls on their host plants by altering gene
expression in host plant organs, and recent studies have been conducted for gene …

Dorcus montivagus is a Japanese endemic stag beetle that feeds exclusively on dead
beech wood, and its distribution is almost completely coincidental with that of beech forests …

We examined the genetic structures of 13 Japanese populations of an ambrosia beetle,
Xylosandrus germanus (Curculionidae: Scolytinae), to understand the effects of …

This is the first molecular systematic treatment of the Prionini. Here, three mitochondrial
genes were partially sequenced from the Chinese Prionini to analyze phylogenetic …

The ability to quantify morphological variation is essential for understanding the processes
of species diversification. The geometric morphometrics approach allows reliable …
