Mechanical and Frictional Properties of the Elytra of Five Species of Beetles

The mechanical and frictional properties of different parts of the elytra of five species of beetle were measured using a nano-indenter and a micro-tribometer. The surface microstructures of the elytra were observed by optical microscopy and scanning white light interferometry. The surface microstructures of the elytra of all five species are characterized as non-smooth concavo-convex although specific morphological differences demonstrate the diversity of beetle elytra. Young's modulus and the hardness of the elytral materials vary with the species of beetle and the sampling locations, ranging from 1.80 GPa to 12.44 GPa, and from 0.24 GPa to 0.75 GPa, respectively. In general, both the Young's modulus and the hardness are lower in samples taken from the center of the elytra than those taken from other regions, which reflects the functional heterogeneity of biological material in the process of biological evolution. The elytra have very low friction coefficient, ranging from 0.037 to 0.079, which is related to their composition and morphology. Our measurements indicate that the surface texture and its microstructural size of beetle elytra contribute to anti-friction effects.     

Macro-/Micro-Structures of Elytra, Mechanical Properties of the Biomaterial and the Coupling Strength Between Elytra in Beetles

Macro-/Micro-structures and mechanical properties of the elytra of beetles were studied. The Scan Electron Microscope (SEM) and optical microscopy were employed to observe the macro-/micro-structure of the surface texture and cross-section structure of elytra. Nano-indentation was carried out to measure the elastic modulus and the hardness of elytra. Tensile strengths of elytra in lateral and longitudinal directions were measured by a muhifunctional testing machine. The coupling force between elytra was also measured and the clocking mechanism was studied. SEM images show the similar geometric structure in transverse and longitudinal sections and multilayer-dense epicuticle and exocuticle, followed by bridge piers with a helix structured fibers, which connect the exocuticle to the endodermis, and form an ellipse empty to reduce the structure weight. The elastic modulus and the hardness are topologically distributed and the mechanical parameters of fresh elytra are much higher than those of dried elytra. The tensile strength of the fresh biological material is twice that of dried samples, but there is no clear difference between the data in lateral and longitudinal directions. Coupling forces measured are 6.5 to 160 times of beetles' bodyweight, which makes the scutellum very important in controlling the open and close of the elytra. The results provide a biological template to inspire lightweight structure design for aerospace engineering.     

Phylogenomic analysis resolves the relationships among net‐winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae) and reveals the parallel evolution of morphological traits

Net‐winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae) are a diverse group of elateroids known for aposematism and neoteny. Phylogenetic analyses of morphological and molecular data have revealed different results with respect to within‐group relationships. In this study, we recovered a highly supported phylogenomic phylogeny and identified seven subfamilies: Dexorinae stat.n. , Calochrominae stat.n. , Erotinae, Ateliinae, Lycinae, Lyropaeinae stat.n. and Metriorrhynchinae stat.n. Our results suggest that female neoteny evolved multiple times. Therefore, the development of similar morphological modifications in neotenics may be linked and may have produced characteristics such as body miniaturization, structural simplification, i.e. reduction of mouthparts, fewer antennomeres and palpomeres, uniquely shaped terminal palpomeres, shortened elytra, the loss of coadaptation between the elytra and pronotum, and others. Additional traits evolved in parallel due to similarities in biology, function and sexual selection. These characteristics include mimetic similarities, the presence of the rostrum, pronotal carinae and elytral costae, and the structure of male genitalia. By comparing the phylogenomic topology with the evolution of morphological characters, we were able to identify evolutionary trends in lycids and compare them with analogues for other neotenic elateroids. These traits have not been accepted as homoplasies due to the ambiguous phylogenetic signal from Sanger sequencing markers.     

中国白星花金龟地理变异的几何形态学分析及其新疆种群的入侵来源推断

【目的】定量比较中国及周边国家地区白星花金龟 Protaetia (Liocola) brevitarsis 不同地理种群的形态差异,重点探索新疆种群与其他地区种群间的形态差异,为植物保护和生产活动提供指导,丰富微进化理论。【方法】基于几何形态学的主成分分析（principal component analysis, PCA）和典型变量分析（canonical variate analysis, CVA）方法,对国内外30个地区共700头白星花金龟的鞘翅和前胸背板进行分析比较,研究白星花金龟不同地理种群的形态变异。【结果】白星花金龟前胸背板和鞘翅形态变异主成分分析中,新疆标本都明显聚在一起,但同时与新疆周边省份标本有部分重叠,与远离新疆省市有少部分重叠。新疆标本和南方地区种群标本明显分离。在各地区种群形态差异显著性检验中,基于马氏距离（Mahalanobis distance）和普氏距离（Procrustes distance）分析显示,新疆白星花金龟与远离新疆地区标本的前胸背板和鞘翅在马氏距离和普氏距离上均为显著性差异,而与其他地区标本的前胸背板和鞘翅的差异上,并非总是显著性差异。【结论】证实了前胸背板和鞘翅上的白斑可以作为白星花金龟地理种群变异的评价指标。就新疆白星花金龟而言,地理距离在一定程度上与形态距离相吻合。我们推测新疆白星花金龟是通过青海省北部以外的宁夏、内蒙古和甘肃三省入侵到新疆自治区,或者与上述三省该害虫的入侵来源一致。本研究所呈现的研究方式,在丰富微进化理论方面具有广阔的前景,且有望丰富分子生态地理学的研究内涵。     

Frictional surfaces of the elytra-to-body arresting mechanism in tenebrionid beetles (Coleoptera : Tenebrionidae) : design of co-opted fields of microtrichia and cuticle ultrastructure

In beetles, the system responsible for an attachment of forewings (elytra) to the thorax consists of interlocking fields of microtrichia (MT) located between thorax and body and between left and right elytra. The present study provides comparative data about microtrichia design on the thorax and elytra in three species of tenebrionid beetles (Tribolium castaneum, Tenebrio molitor, Zophobas rugipes) (Coleoptera : Tenebrionidae), which are different in their size. The length, width, density and directionality of microtrichia in 13 MT fields (4 on the thorax, 1 on the abdomen, 7 on the elytra, and 1 on the costal vein of the hindwing) were quantified. (1) Parameters studied are dependent on the dimension of an insect. The length of the microtrichia of most fields compared increases with an increase in body size. The MT width in the majority of fields increases with an increase in the elytra length. The MT density decreases with an increase in the elytra length. (2) Both width and length of microtrichia increase with an increase in the distance between single MT. The density of outgrowths increases with an increase in their length and width. (3) The fields oriented along the same spatial axis constitute functional groups responsible for a particular direction. Co-opted fields can be oriented in the same or opposite directions. (4) The design of MT correlates in co-opted surfaces. There are 3 field groups, which were stated as functionally corresponding to one another : the medial, anterio-lateral, and posterio-lateral. The lengths and widths of microtrichia from fields of these functional groups were quite similar in corresponding fields. Length-to-width ratios of MT in elytral fields were usually weakly correlated with those of thoracic fields. The distances between microtrichia on the elytra surface directly depended on those of the thorax. Distance-to-width ratio of MT of one surface slightly increased with an increase in this parameter on the co-opted surface. The MT densities on co-opted fields were usually quite different. (5) The ultrastructure of the cuticle suggests differences in the material properties of the cuticle between MT fields. The thoracic fields usually consist of elastic cuticle, whereas elytral fields are much harder. Usually, a MT field of elastic cuticle corresponds to the field composed of hard cuticles. The study also provides information about the ultrastructure of epidermal cells and about the design of pore channels, which are presumably responsible for production and transport of an adhesive secretion into the area of contact between lateral fields. Sensory organs monitoring contact between co-opted binding sites were also studied. The results of this study may aid in understanding the morphological basis of cuticular microsculptures acting as frictional devices.     

Genetic differentiation and speciation in Stomion (Goleoptera: Tenebrionidae): flightless beetles of the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador

Stomion is a swarm of 13 tenebrionid beetle taxa endemic to the Galápagos Islands. The taxa show marked morphological variation, and all are flighdess. They can be divided into three divergent morphological groups based on external sculpturing of the elytra. Eleven taxa were examined electrophoretically at 20 enzyme loci to measure the extent of genetic differentiation which accompanied morphological differentiation and speciation. Stomion are shown to be ideal candidates for allopatric and founder event speciation, with their limited dispersal ability, narrow distributions, and incidence of single-island endemics. Accordingly, individual heterozygosities were low in most taxa, and gene pool divergence was apparent among populations of single taxa occupying different islands. Both interspecific and intraspecific genetic identities were high, with an average 1 = 0.88 and I = 0.96, respectively. The relatively young age of the genus and the allopatric mode of speciation may account for high genetic relatedness. No clear relationship was found between allozyme phenotypes and the three morphological groups, thus, the evolution of these traits may have been facilitated by similar selection among islands of similar age and geography. The geographical distributions of the morphological groups can be used to suggest a general pattern of speciation for the group.     

光肩星天牛两型种群表型多样性分析

Systematic position and composition of the superfamily Notanoplioidea Gill, 1969 (Brachiopoda, Articulata)

The systematic position of several genera of articulate brachiopods grouped around Notanoplia Gill is controversial. Notanoplia was established in 1950 within the order Chonetida; this genus and several externally similar genera, which were established later, were referred by different authors to the orders Orthida, Strophomenida, Chonetida, Atrypida, Spiriferida, or considered as incertae sedis. The morphological analysis of the shell of Notanoplia and the related genera Boucotia and Costanoplia supports the placement of these genera in a separate superfamily, Notanoplioidea, within the order Strophomenida. Other genera similar in the shell outline and shape to Notanoplia and conditionally considered as related to it probably belong to other strophomenid superfamilies or other orders.
