#Congratulations to our #TEELab PhD student, Zann Teo on passing her Qualifying Examination! Her exciting #research carrying out #molecular work on #Scarabaeinae dung beetles in #Singapore marks a significant step forward in understanding the hidden diversity of these important taxa.

Figures 1-4. Canthon lucreciae feeding on an individual of the millipede Messicobolus magnificus. 1.Attacking directly on the wound opening. 2. Ventral part of the millipede showing diplosegments with mutilated legs (arrow). 3. Beetles attacking different ventral parts of the millipede. 4. Adult of C. lucreciae, dorsal habitus./ Canthon lucreciae alimentándose de un individuo del milpiés Messicobolus magnificus. 1. Atacando directamente en la abertura de la herida. 2. Parte ventral del milpiés mostrando diplosegmentos con patas mutiladas (flecha). 3. Escarabajos atacando diferentes partes ventrales del milpiés. 4. Adulto de C. lucreciae, hábito dorsal. So far, C. lucreciae has been known solely from secondary formations of tropical deciduous forests at elevations between 700-900 m. Although the new record lies only approximately 20 km west of its previously known range, it refers to an area of tropical rainforest, differing completely in its characteristics

Onthophagus hecate. Representative male with a large pronotal horn with four protuberances: A) Dorsal, B) Lateral. Representative male with a small pronotal horn with two protuberances: C) Dorsal, D) Lateral. Representative female: E) Dorsal, F) Ventral. Black arrows indicate bifurcation and protuberances. White lines indicate the pronotum width representing the body size (solid line in A) and pronotal horn size (dashed lines in A and E). The black dashed line in (B) indicates the clypeus height used in this study. Females do not develop a prominent clypeus; however, we measured its height using equivalent points (F). Scale bars: 1 mm. One scale bar is used for A, C, and E, and a second scale bar for B and D, and a third for F.

Location of the six All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) plots. High-elevation (> 1,200 m) plots are labeled with a gray circle and low-elevation (< 600 m) are labeled with a black square. The numbers indicate the following plots: 1) Cades Cove, 2) Tremont, 3) Twin Creeks, 4) Indian Gap, 5) Cataloochee, and 6) Purchase Knob. Map modified from Miegrot et al. (2001).
