Happy #EntoTuesday. Today UNSM's #entomology curator gave museum staff a personal tour of "Goliaths," the new exhibit featuring #beetles in Morrill Hall. It's now open on the 3rd floor. Come check it out for yourself!

#FlowerChafers #Museum #nebraska #Naturalhistory
A variety of large goliath beetles pinned inside a display case. Beetles range from tan and black, to brown variegated, some black and white flecked, and some bright green. They are 1" to over 3" long. 3D printed beetle heads demonstrate what the horns on four different beetles looked like. An example of the beetle sits on the bottom of the display case below each model head. Display cases on the wall show a variety of beetles and insects with magnifying glasses to see them more closely, and a TV monitor with a short video discussing the role of beetles in the environment. Museum staff stand outside the entrance of the new "Goliaths" exhibit, where UNSM entomology curator MJ Paulsen discusses the initial vision of the exhibit prior to leading staff on a tour.

#LiteratureNotice Puker at al. Effectiveness of different colors of aerial fruit-baited traps for trapping #Cerambycidae and #Cetoniidae beetles (Insecta: #Coleoptera) in the Amazon rainforest doi.org/10.1093/aesa... #Beetle #Beetles #LonghornBeetles #Biodiversity #FlowerChafers
Four-step approach to quantify sample completeness (Chao et al. 2020) of our biological survey across the trap colors. a) The plots of estimated sample completeness curves as a function of order q between 0 and 2 of Cerambycidae beetles collected with different fruit-baited trap colors in the Amazon Forest (terra firme), Rondônia, northern Brazil. b) Sample size-based rarefaction (solid lines) and extrapolation curves (dashed lines) for each trap color. c) The asymptotic estimates of diversity profiles (solid lines) and empirical diversity profiles (dotted lines); numerical values refer to the estimated asymptotic diversities. d) Coverage-based rarefaction (solid lines) and extrapolation (dashed lines) curves up to the corresponding coverage value for each trap color. e) Evenness profile as a function of order q, for 0 < q ≤ 2, based on the normalized slope of Hill numbers. Solid symbols denote observed data points. All shaded areas in denote 95% confidence bands obtained from a bootstrap method with 100 replications. Some bands are invisible due to narrow widths. Numerical values of q = 0, 1, and 2 are shown in Table 2.
