Exploring the development of species distribution patterns under climate change is basis biogeography and macroecology. However, background global change, few studies focus on how pattern range insects have or will in response to long-term change. An old but small, Northern-Hemisphere-distributed beetle group Osphya an ideal subject conduct study this aspect. Here, based a comprehensive geographic dataset, we analyzed using ArcGIS techniques, which declared discontinuous uneven across USA, Europe, Asia. Furthermore, predicted suitable habitats different scenarios via MaxEnt model. The results showed that high suitability areas were always concentrated European Mediterranean western coast while low exhibited Moreover, by integrating analyses habitat suitability, inferred conservatively prefer warm, stable, rainy climate, they tend expand towards higher latitude warming from past future. These are helpful exploring diversity protection Osphya.

Phytoecia tigrina Mulsant (1851) is recognized as a species under strict protection EU Habitat Directive, it represents focal point for conservation efforts across Europe. However, the dearth of comprehensive understanding regarding its biology, ecology, and geographical distribution poses formidable challenges to endeavors. In current study, we have delineated eight European two Asian distinct metapopulations Ph. geographic range, with particular emphasis on elucidating dispersion within Circum-Carpathian region. This delineation serves underscore species' distribution, niche dimensions limits ecological tolerance that illuminate adaptation capacity diverse environmental conditions range. Our study has unveiled notable differentials in both morphological traits among metapopulations, notably between those located eastern western flanks Carpathian Arc. Such suggest influence divergent evolutionary trajectories, likely influenced by historical climatic changes during Late Pleistocene Holocene epochs. Significantly, specimens derived from exhibit features sufficient magnitude warrant proposition subspecies, (Pilemia) podillica ssp. nov. taxonomic underscores complexity inherent complex. investigations further illuminated dynamics indicating presence at least refugia Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). These refugial enclaves, situated Sea Marmara/Eastern Aegean region Pannonian Plain, played pivotal roles shaping contemporary distributional patterns. Moreover, our modeling endeavors elucidated rapid expansions suitable habitat post-glacial epochs, Preboreal Boreal periods. aligned host plant Cynoglottis barrelieri supplying colonization new territories face fast-changing environment. intricate interplay history, dynamics, imperatives tigrina. By these complexities, endeavor furnish robust foundation future initiatives aimed safeguarding this emblematic associated habitats.

(1) Background: The conservation of entomofauna in individual macroregions requires efforts to study the distribution and abundance insects. For this purpose, databases are created that enumerate information. Such databases, with processing significant factual material, make it possible objectively assess status a species and, if necessary, take measures for its protection. aim paper is describe modern Coleoptera fauna nine regions Russia on basis recently published dataset. (2) Methods: We conducted our own studies 1994, 1996, 1998–2003 2005–2022. dataset also includes data from museum specimens other years. used variety methods, such as sifting through litter, searching under bark trees stumps, trapping by light, soil traps, beer window etc. each observation, coordinates find, number individuals observed date were recorded.
