Ground beetles and tiger beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) can serve as excellent indicators of ambient conditions or the conservation value of habitats. As a prerequisite, certain taxon-specific autecological parameters need to be known which depend on the objectives of the study. The available ecological data on Swiss carabids are often poorly resolved and are based on qualitative interpretations...

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an exceptionally promising pest control method in terms of efficacy and environmental compatibility. Assessments of environmental risks vary according to the status and origin of the target pests. The suppression or eradication of non-native pest populations with the sit raises few environmental concerns, and these are related mainly to some pre-release...

An introduction to the physical environment of Laos is provided, including vegetation, fauna,conservation and habitat types, intended to serve as general background information for entomologicalresearch in that country. An overview of the history of entomological – particularly coleopterological – surveysin Laos is provided, including information about collectors and the places in...

Recent entomological surveys in Laos have revealed new species of myrmecophilous flangedbombardier beetles. Here we describe and illustrate Paussus serraticornis sp.nov., a paussine characterizedmainly by its distinctive antennal club. It shares characters with members of the Paussus hystrix and P.cucullatus groups.

The first fossil representative of the Protopaussinae and the second fossil Eohomopterus (Paussinae) are described from amber inclusions of Tertiary age collected in the Dominican Republic on the West Indian island of Hispaniola (Protopaussus pristinus sp.n., Eohomopterus poinari sp.n.). These finds increase the total number of paussids present in Dominican amber to four species in three genera...

Larval structural characters are an important component in phylogenetic reconstruction of the subfamily Paussinae. Based on larval characters, two main cladistic hypotheses have been proposed concerning basal relationships within Paussinae: (1) Metriini as sister-group of Ozaenini + Paussini, with Ozaenini as a paraphyletic group and the genus Physea as sister-group of Paussini; and (2)...
