Abstract By compiling all available occurrence information for the three species of Taurocerastinae (Frickius costulatus Germain, 1897, Frickius variolosus Germain, 1897, and Taurocerastes patagonicus Philippi, 1866), their realized and their world potential distributions were predicted to estimate the role played by dispersal limitations and contemporary environmental factors in explaining their extant distributions. Variables related to productivity seemed to have a higher explanatory capacity for the distribution and spatial segregation of each species. The realized and potential distribution estimates suggest that these species occupy all South American territory with environmentally suitable conditions and that the contemporary distribution of taurocerastine species can be basically conditioned by their geographical isolation within the cold and cold-temperate regions of South America. However, environmental factors would be comparatively more relevant in the case of the apterous species, T. patagonicus, due to the small potential world area with environmentally favorable conditions.

Abstract Functional diversity approaches, which are based on an organism's trait pattern, are of increasing interest in ecological studies. However, there are no rules setting the number or kinds of traits that should be assessed; hence, researchers are left to make their own decisions in this regard. Moreover, in some cases, the same trait could be assessed using different procedures, making comparisons between studies potentially difficult. Such is the case of dung beetle body size. We found that it was measured by using eight different methods in the literature. Using three scarabaeine dung beetle species (Canthon quinquemaculatus Castelnau, Deltochilum komareki Balthasar, and Eurysternus parallelus Castelnau), eight methods of measuring dung beetle body size (wet weight, dry weight, wet weight × clypeal-pygidial length, clypeal-pygidial length, pronotal-pygidial length, clypeal-elytral length, pronotal-elytral length, and elytral width × pronotal-elytral length) were compared to determine if they are equivalent. Using a Spearman correlation coefficient, not all the measurement methods were found to be equivalent. Wet and dry weight were the least correlated with all other methods. Hence, to standardize measurement methods in future studies, dry body weight is suggested for use, which also has the advantage of being an easy method to use. Standardization will allow more reliable and accurate comparisons between studies.

Abstract Thirty-three species of Pachybrachis Chevrolat were collected in Illinois between 1881 and 2020. A historical, or longitudinal, perspective in 20-year increments is presented for each species. The species can be subdivided into three cohorts based upon their relative consistency of collection over time. Ten species have been recovered consistently over this extended timeframe, eleven species were just found in Illinois since 1950, and twelve species (36.4%) were no longer found during the last 20 years of targeted collecting and are presumed extirpated.

Baridius californicus Motschulsky, 1845 is among the most senior species-group names for weevils described from California, USA. The original material was collected by Eschscholtz during one of two Russian expeditions, with the Rurik 1815–1818 or the Predpriyatiye 1823–1826. Motschulsky (1845) provided in his introduction general information about Eschscholtz’s Coleoptera at the Zoological Museum, Moscow, including previous examinations conducted by others. He mentioned the existence of additional Californian specimens but stated that his paper deals specifically with those at the Zoological Museum. As the name B. californicus has been used as valid since 1900, it is desirable to clarify the identity of the species. Upon my request made in 2010, N. Nikitsky, at that time curator at the Zoological Museum, searched for the type but without success. To my surprise, B. Korotyaev located a historical specimen at the Zoological Institute in St. Petersburg, a collection mentioned by Motschulsky (1845) in the introduction. The identity and labels of this specimen plus confusions with the equally enigmatic junior primary homonym Baridius californicus Boheman, 1859 made matters even more unsettling. I here review the historical perceptions regarding the name B. californicus and try to unravel the existing derangement with the help of new insights obtained during the past years.

Abstract Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Motschulsky, 1866) occupies worldwide temperate to tropical forests and suburban areas within its natural and non-native range as a result of human introductions. Given its pest status, several studies of population genetics have been conducted. As a result of an ongoing study, several smaller individuals from southern Thailand exhibited nucleotide differences that were dissimilar to the remaining individuals, thus calling into question the species status of these individuals. We performed a phylogenetic analysis of X. crassiusculus individuals from widely dispersed locations, including an individual from southern Thailand, and a robust sampling of other Xylosandrus Reitter, 1913 species using xyleborine diagnostic genes mtDNA COI and nucDNA CAD. The smaller individual from southern Thailand was sister to the remaining X. crassiusculus individuals and demonstrated >13% and >3% nucleotide difference in COI and CAD sequences, respectively. Upon the examination of type specimens, we confirmed that these smaller X. crassiusculus individuals were indeed Xylosandrus declivigranulatus (Schedl, 1936), status restored, which we resurrect. Its smaller size and pronotum as long as wide diagnose this pseudocryptic species from X. crassiusculus.

This book contains comprehensive information for analysis and evaluation of metals in human toxicology. After a short general discussion on absorption, metabolism, excretion, and dose-effect relationships, a more detailed chapter deals with biological effects and monitoring exposure to toxic metals. Firstly, principles of biological monitoring are discussed in the context of biochemical effects on animal systems. Then, indices for exposure are discussed in considerable detail for each of the nine most important toxic metals. Each is dealt with in the context of interpretation and the significance of monitoring in blood, urine, hair, or other specimens. The third chapter deals with instrumentation for metals analysis, discussing digestion methods and then specific instrument techniques. Atomic absorption, voltammetry, nuclear activation analysis, X-ray fluorescence, and mass spectrometry are emphasized, with short treatment of a few additional techniques such as chromatography and colorimetry. A valuable section in this chapter deals with the cost : benefit ratios and the most useful applications for each of the major forms of instrumentation. Chapters fc~ through eleven (covering about half of the book) discuss specifically analysis for the nine toxic metals: lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, thallium, chromium, nickel, selenium, and tellurium. Each is discussed in some detail to include analytical techniques, assessment of toxicity, and interpretation of results. Each chapter is amply referenced and appears to include a thorough review of the literature to date. Although many methods are discussed and reviewed, a few given in detail, as examples, this is not a methods book. It will serve, however, as Dr. Rokus de Zeeuw, the general editor, aspires to in his preface, as a "valuable reference source for many scientists involved with the analysis of metals and the interpretation of these findings in human toxicology."
这本书包含了全面的信息，以分析和评价金属在人体毒理学。在对吸收、代谢、排泄和剂量效应关系进行简短的一般性讨论后，更详细的一章涉及生物效应和监测有毒金属的暴露。首先，从生物化学对动物系统的影响的角度讨论了生物监测的原理。然后，对九种最重要的有毒金属中的每一种的暴露指数进行了相当详细的讨论。每一种都是在解释和监测血液、尿液、头发或其他标本的意义的背景下进行处理的。第三章介绍了金属分析仪器，讨论了消解方法和具体的仪器技术。重点介绍了原子吸收法、伏安法、核活化分析法、X射线荧光法和质谱法，并简要介绍了一些其他技术，如色谱法和比色法。本章中有一个很有价值的部分涉及成本效益比以及每种主要形式的仪器的最有用的应用。第fc章至第十一章（约占全书的一半）专门讨论了对九种有毒金属的分析：铅、汞、镉、砷、铊、铬、镍、硒和碲。每一项都进行了详细讨论，包括分析技术、毒性评估和结果解释。每一章都有充分的参考，似乎包括对迄今为止文献的全面回顾。尽管对许多方法进行了讨论和回顾，但也有一些方法是详细给出的，作为例子，这不是一本方法书。然而，正如总编辑Rokus de Zeeuw博士在序言中所渴望的那样，它将成为“许多参与金属分析和解释人类毒理学研究结果的科学家的宝贵参考来源”

Abstract Leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) collected during the years 2019–2020 from Murat Mountain located on the border of Kütahya and Uşak provinces, Turkey were studied. A total of 1,166 specimens were examined, and 86 species belonging to 24 genera and five subfamilies (Criocerinae, Cryptocephalinae, Chrysomelinae, Galerucinae, and Cassidinae) were identified. All taxa are newly reported from Murat Mountain, 83 of them are newly recorded from Kütahya Province, and 36 taxa are newly recorded from the Aegean Region of Turkey. In addition, some taxonomic remarks about Aeschrocnemis serbica (Kutschera, 1860) and Cryptocephalus pygmaeus vittula Suffrian, 1848 are provided and discussed with supporting images. The abundance of chrysomelids occurring in the study area by sampling months and their distributions with respect to different altitude ranges were evaluated as well.

Detecting the presence of adventive species is an essential part of protecting native biodiversity and is especially crucial when those species threaten local industries such as agriculture and forestry. The weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) represent one of the most economically important insect groups and the damage caused by some alien species in North America account for extreme losses in crop production annually (Fisher and Bruck 2004; Radcliffe and Flanders 1998). Within the Nearctic region, eastern Canada is particularly well-known for its adventive beetle fauna and has historically served as the first “port of entry” for many introduced species which are now established widely on the continent (Klimaszewski et al. 2010). Here, based on collections in New Brunswick, Ontario, and Newfoundland, Canada, we report the first definitive records of Otiorhynchus desertus Rosenhauer, 1847 from North America, as well as evidence of establishment of the species on the continent. We also provide the first records of Otiorhynchus rugosostriatus (Goeze, 1777) and Notaris scirpi (Fabricius, 1793) from New Brunswick, Canada.
