Platypus Cylindrus
''Platypus cylindrus'', commonly known as the oak pinhole borer, is a species of ambrosia beetle in the weevil family Scolytinae. The adults and larvae burrow under the bark of mature oak trees. It is native to Europe. Description The adult oak pinhole borer is between long, being cylindrical In cross section (hence ''cylindrus'') and, seen from above, shaped like a long, narrow rectangle. Its colour is very deep brown to black. The larvae are yellowish-white, legless grubs. Distribution The oak pinhole beetle is native to Europe. It used to be considered rare in Britain, but after the Great Storm of 1987, when many trees were blown down in southern England, it took advantage of the abundant supply of timber and became much more common. Ecology The oak pinhole borer infests mature trees, favouring stressed, dying or dead standing trees, fallen trees and logs; the insects choose a sick or moribund tree, but their activities do not kill trees. Besides oak trees, they can infest ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Platypus Kiushuensis
The platypus (''Ornithorhynchus anatinus''), sometimes referred to as the duck-billed platypus, is a semiaquatic, egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. The platypus is the sole living representative or monotypic taxon of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (''Ornithorhynchus''), though a number of related species appear in the fossil record. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. Like other monotremes, it senses prey through electrolocation. It is one of the few species of venomous mammals, as the male platypus has a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venom, capable of causing severe pain to humans. The unusual appearance of this egg-laying, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it, and the first scientists to examine a preserved platypus body (in 1799) ju ...

Platypus Quercivorus
''Platypus quercivorus'', the oak ambrosia beetle, is a species of weevil and pest of broad-leaved trees.Sone, K., Mori, T., Ide, M. (1998). Life history of the oak borer, ''Platypus quercivorus'' (Murayama) (Coleoptera : Platypodidae). ''Applied Entomology and Zoology 33'': 67-75.

Potential impact of global warming on deciduous oak dieback caused by ambrosia fungus ''Raffaelea sp'' carried by ambrosia beetle ''Platypus quercivorus'' (Coleoptera : Platypodidae) in Japan. ''Bulletin of Entomological Research 92'': 119-126. It is found in Japan, India, Indonesia, New Guinea, and Taiwan.

Platypus Parallelus
''Euplatypus parallelus'', previously known as ''Platypus parallelus'', is a species of ambrosia beetle in the weevil family Curculionidae. The adults and larvae form galleries in various species of tree and logs. It is native to Central and South America but has spread globally, is present in Africa and is well established in tropical Asia. Description Adult beetles are between in length and are a yellowish-brown to brown colour, the elytra having darker brown tips. The holes excavated by the adults and larvae are about in diameter. Distribution and habitat ''Euplatypus parallelus'' is native to Central and South America, but has spread invasively to Africa, tropical southern Asia, Wallacea and New Guinea, probably via timber imports. It arrived in Africa in the late 1800s and was first recorded in Asia after World War II, became widespread in Sri Lanka in the 1970s and was present in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia by the 1980s. It soon became the most significant ambros ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
