Spatiotemporal Distributions of Scolytinae Beetles in the Subtropical Forests of Southern China

Diversity (2023)

Yali Yu Lanfeng Li Xingke Yang Lin Wei Qunxin Han

Scolytinae beetles serve as important regulators of ecosystem integrity. However, some of these species have been identified as important pests. The Guangdong region of China exhibits unique geographic characteristics, but is also subject to substantial anthropogenic disturbances, making it an important region for ecological research. This study was designed to assess the biodiversity and abundance of these Scolytinae beetles in subtropical areas, to define indicators associated with environmental disturbances, and to thereby provide additional valuable information that can support the conservation of the ecosystem and the monitoring and controling of pest species. For these analyses, a two-season survey of Scolytinae communities was performed across three habitats to examine the patterns of variation within these communities. These analyses revealed that environmental disturbances were associated with a drop in Scolytinae beetle population diversity, with Hypothenemus sp.2, Xyleborinus andrewesi, and Xyleborinus artestriatus offering particular value as indicators associated with severe environmental disruptions. Plant diversity and composition also impacted Scolytinae beetle communities through a range of complex mechanisms. Scolytinae beetle diversity was also found to be higher during the rainy season relative to the dry season, with beetle abundance being responsive to average temperatures, but unrelated to average relative humidity levels.

Coleoptera – Beetles

Yali Yu Zhenhua Liu Chungkun Shih Dong Ren

Beetles are the most diverse group of organisms on Earth with about 420 000 described species from around the world. Coleoptera are divided into four suborders: Archostemata, Myxophaga, Adephaga and Polyphaga. Myxophaga contain small to tiny semiaquatic beetles with four small families: Lepiceridae, Torridincolidae, Hydroscaphidae and Sphaeriusidae. Asiocoleidae are a distinct beetle family including 11 genera described from the Permian to the Jurassic of China, Russia and Mongolia. The Cupedidae are the largest archostematan family. Cupedids are elongate, slender, parallel-sided, mostly distinctly flattened; body covered with scales. Jurodids are amazing examples of "living fossils"; both extant and fossil jurodids are very rare. They are the "mostmysterious representatives of beetles" and "a phantom in beetle evolution". Hydroscaphids are minute beetles with shortened elytra and resemblance to some small staphylinids. Carabidae are a speciose and widely distributed family including the majority of terrestrial Adephaga.

This dataset contains the raw confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) slices and X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) slices for the holotype of Microtrogossita qizhihaoi (NIGP173910) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Additional confocal data for Burmacateres longicoxa (NIGP173911, NIGP173912) are also provided. This dataset is associated with the publication "An exquisitely preserved tiny bark-gnawing beetle (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber and the phylogeny of Trogossitidae" (DOI:10.1111/jzs.12515). Confocal images were obtained with a Zeiss LSM710 confocal laser scanning microscope, using 488 nm Argon laser excitation line. Both original CZI files and exported TIFF stacks are provided. Micro-CT data were obtained with a Zeiss Xradia 520 Versa 3D X-ray microscope. Scanning parameters were as follows: isotropic voxel size, 2.4165 μm; power, 4 W; acceleration voltage, 50 kV; exposure time, 1.5 s; projections, 3001. The TIFF stack is provided.

Yanda Li Erik Tihelka Richard A. B. Leschen Yali Yu Adam Ślipiński

The phylogeny of Cleroidea was re-analysed based on the data of Gimmel et al. (2019) with the site-heterogeneous mixture model CAT-GTR+G4. Data needed to run the molecular analysis and the output files are provided. This result is associated with the publication "An exquisitely preserved tiny bark-gnawing beetle (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber and the phylogeny of Trogossitidae" (DOI:10.1111/jzs.12515). cleroidfull.phy – data file bpcomp.bpdiff – largest (maxdiff) and mean (meandiff) discrepancy observed across all bipartitions bpcomp.bplist – bipartition list bpcomp.con.tre – consensus tree in Newick format cleroidfull_tree_with_branch_length.pdf – consensus tree, with branch length shown cleroidfull_tree_without_branch_length.pdf – consensus tree, with branch length ignored

[Occurrence of Culex modestus inatomii Kamimura et Wada in Rongcheng city, Shandong Province].

PubMed (1993)

Jing Xu Yali Yu S P Wang Zalygina Ni

A mosquito survey was made at Rongcheng City, Shandong Province in August, 1991. Altogether 4 genera and 8 species of mosquitoes were collected in this survey, namely Aedes dorsalis (Meigen), Anopheles sinensis Wiedemann, An. yatsushiroensis Miyazaki, Culex fuscanus Wiedemann, Cx. modestus inatomii Kamimura et Wada, Cx. pipiens pallens Coquillett, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus Giles and Mansonia uniformis (Theobald). Among them Cx. modestus inatomii and An. yatsushiroensis were found to be the first record for China and Shandong Province respectively. The morphology and taxonomic status of the above two species are discussed briefly.

The earliest fossil record of Belidae and its implications for the early evolution of Curculionoidea (Coleoptera)

Figshare (2019)

Yali Yu Steven R. Davis Chungkun Shih Dong Ren Hong Pang

Here we report the earliest known fossil belid, Sinoeuglypheus daohugouensis gen. et sp. nov., from the latest Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of north-eastern China. Extant belids are specialist herbivores feeding on gymnosperms or angiosperms, but it is likely that this new belid fed on coexisting conifers or other gymnosperms. Extant members of Belidae are predominantly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, this new find in the north-eastern China deposit is significant for understanding the early stages of the radiation of this group during the mid-Mesozoic, and the early evolution of Curculionoidea. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:2020E35D-E918-4C84-993C-20B8E4DBB671

Predicting the Potential Distribution of Cheirotonus jansoni (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Under Climate Change

Insects (2024)

Yali Yu Zeng Ling

Cheirotonus jansoni (Jordan, 1898), a beetle species of ecological and ornamental significance, is predominantly found in southern China. With limited dispersal ability, it is classified as a Class 2 protected species in China. In this study, the widely employed maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model and the ensemble Biomod2 model were applied to simulate C. jansoni habitat suitability in China under current environmental conditions based on available distribution data and multiple environmental variables. The optimized MaxEnt model demonstrated improved accuracy and robust predictive capabilities, making it the preferred choice for simulating dynamic changes in potentially suitable habitats for C. jansoni under future climate scenarios. Protection gaps were further identified through analyses of the overlap between nature reserves and highly suitable areas for C. jansoni. The established models indicated that this species primarily resides in southeastern mountainous regions of China below 2000 m, with a preferred altitude of 1000–2000 m. Future climate scenarios suggest a reduction in the overall suitable habitat for C. jansoni with an increase in temperature, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced conservation efforts for this beetle species.
