Excellent- More about A Faunal Review of Aleocharine Beetles in the Rapidly Changing Arctic and Subarctic Regions of North America (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)
Aleocharine beetles are a dominant group of forest insects in Arctic and Subarctic North America, and are being used as indicators of environmental change. A new book provides a diagnostic and ecological tool for scientists studying and monitoring insects in northern Canada and Alaska, with a review of the literature, information on 238 species and their habitats, taxonomic review, images, and identification tools.

Arctic and Subarctic North America is experiencing significant climate change, with average temperatures rising three times faster than the global average. This has led to the need for a structured knowledge of indicator taxa that reflect the effects of climate change. Aleocharine beetles, a dominant group of forest insects, are being used as indicators of environmental change in many projects. They are forest specialists restricted to certain microhabitats, generalists, and open habitat specialists, representing many ecological niches and making them good indicators for many other species. The majority of Canadian aleocharine beetle species (about 600 spp.) have been studied and published by Jan Klimaszewski et al. (2018, 2020), mainly from southern, central, and western Canada, while the northern taxa remain poorly known and documented.
The aim of the present book is to summarize the knowledge on this insect group in the Arctic and Subarctic North America and to provide a diagnostic and ecological tool for scientists studying and monitoring insects in northern Canada and Alaska. The book includes a review of the literature, information on 238 species and their habitats, taxonomic review, images, and identification tools.
