  Morphology, bionomics and distribution of the largest Coleoptera taxa as the prerequisites and characteristics of their evolutionary success, Descrição: Coleoptera (Coleoptera) is largest order in the class Insecta, which is characterized by a remarkable diversity of species having constant basic structure plan of the body. The most prominent feature of the adult stage of Coleoptera is the transformation of the fore wings into hard covering structures (elytra) protecting the hind wings and the upper side of the abdomen from mechanical damage. This transformation allowed the beetles to inhabit dense substrates. Along with these, the beetles are distinguished from all other major insect orders by their widespread reduction of rear wings up to their complete loss. Thus, the prosperity of Coleoptera is related to widespread tendency in the order to abandon the main aromorphosis of the class Insecta - the ability to fly. High diversity, characteristic of beetles with different types of food specialization (predators and sapro- phytophagans), cannot be explained only by the depth of the ecological specialization, because even among herbivorous beetles the greatest species diversity is peculiar for relatively feebly specialized groups. To assess the degree of evolutionary success of Coleoptera and understand its preconditions, it is necessary to improve the classification of this order on the basis of a comprehensive morphological, ecological and geographical study of modern fauna and descriptions of fossils. Including several major families of carnivorous (Carabidae), saprophagous (Scarabaeidae) and herbivorous (Buprestidae, Chrysomelidae, Curculionoidea) beetles from different landscape zones of several biogeographic regions provides extensive material for analysis. Representatives of the majority of families of Coleoptera, which will be examined in the course of the proposed project, not only occupy a prominent niche in the fauna of the majority of biogeographic regions in natural and anthropogenic communities (agrocenoses and pastures), but also increasingly used as agents of biological control of weeds.. , Situação: Em andamento; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Andrey Frolov - Integrante / Lilia Akhmetova - Integrante / Svetlana Andreeva - Integrante / Mark Volkovich - Integrante / Boris Kataev - Integrante / Alexey Moseyko - Integrante / Boris Korotyaev - Coordenador., Financiador(es): Russian Foundation for Basic Research - Auxílio financeiro.

  ZIN scarab beetle type collection database development, Descrição: Scarab beetle collection of the Zoological institute of the Russian Academy of sciences is the largest in the former-USSR countries and one of the largest in the world. It consists of more then 1000 drawers with more than 300000 pinned specimens representing almost all the species of the scarabs distributed on the territory of the former USSR (including majority of primary types of the taxa described from this territory). Similar to other large and old European collections, the material was accumulated over some 200 years and is mostly not databased. Of the special importance is the need for data about types, reference specimens that bear the names of species. There is a growing interest in access to images and other data of these specimens. Our project is aimed at digitizing and databasing the primary type material housed in ZIN, thus making this information readily available to the scientific community. , Situação: Em andamento; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Andrey Frolov - Coordenador / Lilia Akhmetova - Integrante.

  Taxonomic revisions and conspects of coleopterous insects as a ground base for revealing tendencies of evolution of the regional faunas in the recent time and in the nearest future, Descrição: Coleoptera, or beetles, is the largest in the class of insects and includes more than 300,000 species. Extremely high taxonomic and biological diversity makes tem to play an important role in most types of terrestrial ecosystems, including anthropogenic - the agricultural and urban landscapes. Coleoptera includes species from all major environmental groups ? predators, saprophages, phytophagous, and parasites; most of them are represented by a few major families (ground beetles, scarab beetles, buprestids, darkling beetles, and weevils), which were selected as model groups for the planned research. Rapid increase in the number of species, intentionally or accidentally imported outside their natural ranges, requires registration in taxonomic reports and analysis of the dynamics of this process. Understanding of the genesis of modern faunas (global and regional) of the largest families of Coleoptera makes an important contribution to the knowledge of the history and evolution of terrestrial biota as a whole. A necessary condition for the effective use of Coleoptera and knowledge about them in the theoretical and practical applications is the ability to accurately identify the species and the availability of reliable information about their distribution and lifestyle, as well as the knowledge of regional faunas. Knowledge of the modern fauna also plays an important role in the reconstruction and paleolandscapes and palaeoclimates of the Quaternary thanks to the well-preserved remains of Coleoptera in the sediments of this period, where they prevail over the remains of all other insects combined. All these factors call for the improved taxonomic knowledge and study of the fauna of the economically important regions. The project is aimed to address these challenges. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Andrey Frolov - Integrante / Lilia Akhmetova - Integrante / VOLKOVITSH, M.
