The Odra is a large, regulated river, along which many groynes have been built. There are few publications examining how groynes affect the functioning of a river. We investigated the effect of these hydro-engineering structures on the water beetle fauna of a river subject to strong human pressure. The species composition, assemblages, functional a...
This paper treats the discovery of new species and new records of Staphylinidae from the subfamilies Omaliinae, Proteininae, Tachyporinae, Oxytelinae, Scydmaeninae, Steninae, Euaesthetinae, Pseudopsinae, Paederinae, and Staphylininae for the province of New Brunswick and other provinces of Canada, and the USA. We report here two species new to scie...

Hexasepalum is the priority name for Diodella. In the present paper, we provide a synopsis of Hexasepalum. The genus differs from the remaining genera of the tribe Spermacoceae by the combination of infundibuliform flowers, 2-lobed stigmas, schizocarpic fruits, ventral face of the mericarps with two depressions, seeds with T or Y shaped ventral gro...

... Among the 8,302 species of Coleoptera known from Canada, 639 are adventive (Brunke et al. 2019). A series of publications by Klimaszewski et al. (2010Klimaszewski et al. ( , 2012Klimaszewski et al. ( , 2013Klimaszewski et al. ( , 2015Klimaszewski et al. ( , 2017 provides both diagnostic features and overviews of the ecology and known North American distribution of these species. While Europe has been and still is a major source of these species because of the intensive trade and ship traffic across the Atlantic, the proportion of Asian species has recently increased as a consequence of increased trade with this region (Klimaszewski et al. 2012). ...
... Comments. This is the second species of Orthoperus recorded as adventive in Canada: the Palaearctic O. atomus (Gyllenhal, 1808) is known from British Columbia in Canada, and Washington and Oregon in the United States (Klimaszewski et al. 2015). Orthoperus corticalis is darker and slightly larger than O. atomus, with stronger punctation on the pronotum and elytral base and denser and more strongly impressed microsculpture (Bowestead 1999). ...
This study demonstrates the power of DNA barcoding to detect overlooked and newly arrived taxa. Sixty-three species of Coleoptera representing 25 families are studied based on DNA barcode data and morphological analysis of the barcoded specimens. Three of the species involve synonymies or previous taxonomic confusion in North America, while the first Canadian records are published for 60 species. Forty-two species are adventive in North America, and 40 of these adventive species originate from the Palaearctic region. Three genera are recorded from the Nearctic region for the first time: Coelostoma Brullé, 1835 (Hydrophilidae), Scydmoraphes Reitter, 1891 (Staphylinidae), and Lythraria Bedel, 1897 (Chrysomelidae). Two new synonymies are established: Mycetoporus triangulatus Campbell, 1991 (Staphylinidae) is a junior synonym of Mycetoporus reichei Pandellé, 1869, syn. nov. while Bledius philadelphicus Fall, 1919 (Staphyli-nidae) is a junior synonym of Bledius gallicus (Gravenhorst, 1806), syn. nov. The previously suggested move of Ctenicera tigrina (Fall, 1901) to the genus Pseudanostirus Dolin, 1964 (Elateridae) is formalized, resulting in Pseudanostirus tigrinus (Fall, 1901), comb. nov.
... Six species were newly recorded for the province, and the presence of Antherophagus convexulus LeConte was confirmed. Klimaszewski et al. (2015) newly recorded the adventive Cryptophagus saginatus Sturm and C. subfumatus Kraatz in a review of the adventive Cucujoidea of Canada. Here, we newly record an additional 10 species from NB, many of which were captured in Lindgren funnel traps. ...

This adventive Palaearctic species was previously known only from NF (St. John's) in North America and occurs in various habitats including stored produce in Europe (Woodroffe and Coombs 1961, Johnson et al. 2007, Klimaszewski et al. 2015. Specimens from NB were captured in Lindgren funnel traps and sifted from a pile of moldy decaying corncobs and cornhusks. ...

This paper treats 134 new records of Coleoptera for the province of New Brunswick, Canada from the following 41 families: Gyrinidae, Carabidae, Dytiscidae, Histeridae, Leiodidae, Scarabaeidae, Scirtidae, Buprestidae, Elmidae, Limnichidae, Heteroceridae, Ptilodactylidae, Eucnemidae, Throscidae, Elateridae, Lampyridae, Cantharidae, Dermestidae, Bostrichidae, Ptinidae, Cleridae, Melyridae, Monotomidae, Cryptophagidae, Silvanidae, Laemophloeidae, Nitidulidae, Endomychidae, Coccinellidae, Corylophidae, Latridiidae, Tetratomidae, Melandryidae, Mordellidae, Tenebrionidae, Mycteridae, Pyrochroidae, Aderidae, Scraptiidae, Megalopodidae, and Chrysomelidae. Among these, the following four species are newly recorded from Canada: Dirrhagofarsus ernae Otto, Muona & McClarin (Eucnemidae), Athous equestris (LeConte) (Elateridae), Ernobius opicus Fall (Ptinidae), and Stelidota coenosa Erichson (Nitidulidae). The Family Limnichidae is newly reported for New Brunswick, and one species is added to the fauna of Nova Scotia. Stephostethus productus Rosenhauer (Latridiidae), Tetratoma (Abstrulia) variegata Casey (Tetratomidae), and Chauliognathus marginatus (Fabricius) (Cantharidae) are removed from the faunal list of New Brunswick, and additional records of Lacconotus punctatus LeConte (Mycteridae) are presented and discussed. Lindgren funnel traps provided specimens for 104 (78%) of the species and were the sole source of specimens for 89 (66%) of the species reported here, suggesting they are a very useful tool for sampling Coleoptera fauna in the forests of New Brunswick.
... All species of Dienerella in eastern Canada appear to be adventive (Bousquet et al. 2013). The first mention of Dienerella for North America is of Dienerella filiformis (Gyllenhal, 1827) before 1855 (in Canada, the first record is from Vineland, Ontario in 1939 (Klimaszewski et al. 2015)), about a century and a half after a member of the genus found its way to the Intendant's Palace site. The previous earliest Canadian record of R. germanus is from 1925. ...
The aim of this study is the quantitative assessment of temporal variations in the composition and structure of a nocturnal
flying beetle community in northeastern North America. In southern Québec (Canada), we collected by blacklight trapping
a total of 33,382 individuals representing 625 Coleoptera species or morphospecies belonging to 63 families from a grassland
at Scotstown during six years (2007–2012). Carabidae and Staphylinidae were the most abundant families and had the highest
species richness. This blacklight trapping throughout the April–September period over many years provides critical information
for assessments of beetle diversity in southern Québec, based on 1) the large proportion of species collected in small
numbers (1–2 adults), 2) nearly 60% of species flying for only 1–3 months over six years, and 3) the large proportion of
dominant/subdominant species in spite of strong year-to-year fluctuations in the relative abundance of species. Consequently,
light trapping investigations in the future should be extended across many years to improve the inventory of species in a
region, aid in the evaluation of the rarity of some Nearctic species, and study long-term effects of certain environmental
factors (e.g., anthropogenic disturbance, climatic changes). We also studied the seasonal flight pattern for the 57 most abundant
species (at least 100 individuals) including two eudominant species, Bembidion versicolor (LeConte) (Carabidae) (7.5%
of the total catches) and Ectopria nervosa (Melsheimer) (Psephenidae) (6.8%); the flight peak of many species was during
mid-summer. We determined the sex ratio for 23 abundant species; 12 species presented a female-biased sex ratio.
