Interactions between larvae of the threatened saproxylic beetle Osmoderma eremita and other flower Chafers in Mediterranean woodlands: implications for conservation
Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2014Co-Authors: Stefano Chiari, Agnese Zauli, Paolo Audisio, Giuseppe M. CarpanetoAbstract:Interactions between larvae of one of the most charismatic and threatened saproxylic beetles, Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli, 1763), and other flower Chafer species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) were investigated by taking samples of wood mould, i.e. loose material inside the cavity, from 151 living hollow trees in two Mediterranean woodlands during August 2010. Multi-species occupancy models estimate low occupancy probabilities for both O. eremita (ψ ± SE = 0.36 ± 0.13) and other flower Chafer species (0.42 ± 0.06), which showed similar microhabitat requirements without competing. In cavities where larvae of both groups were present, the probability of detecting O. eremita during the sieving of 2 l of wood mould was not affected by whether larvae of other flower Chafers occur in the same sample and vice versa. Unexpectedly, larvae of O. eremita were detected with a higher probability when larvae of other flower Chafers occurred in the cavity. Model selection statistics strongly support that increasing the sampled volume of wood mould increases the probability of detecting larvae, especially for O. eremita. Wood mould sampling resulted in a reliable method for detecting the presence of O. eremita larvae, but further studies are needed to investigate the potential damage caused by this procedure in the fragile microhabitat of tree cavities. To preserve populations of O. eremita and other flower Chafers, management actions should be focused on increasing the density of hollow trees and the volume of tree cavities by favouring the natural ageing of trees and by creating artificial habitats in living trees.

effect of soil moisture and soil texture on oviposition by japanese beetle and rose Chafer coleoptera scarabaeidae
Journal of Economic Entomology, 1992Co-Authors: Peter G. Allsopp, M. G. Klein, E. L. MccoyAbstract:In choice tests, Japanese beetles, Popillia japonica Newman, laid more eggs the wetter the soil, up to about field capacity. No eggs were laid in soils with less than or equal to 55% moisture content. Even in nonchoice tests, Japanese beetles laid few eggs in dry soils. In choice tests, Japanese beetles laid more eggs in soils with medium clay contents than other soil textures. In nonchoice tests, Japanese beetles laid similar numbers of eggs into a wide range of soil textures, except fewer eggs were laid into pure sand. In choice tests, rose Chafer, Macrodactylus subspinosus (F.), also laid many more eggs in wetter soil than in drier soil. In choice tests, rose Chafers showed no preference for oviposition in any of the soil textures tested. These data help explain the patchy distribution of Japanese beetle larvae and of rose Chafer adults after dry summers, but do not explain reported occurrences of rose Chafer larvae only in sandy soil.
