They account for nearly 40 of all known insects and about 25 of all animal life forms. Their sheer diversity, adaptability, and widespread presence make them one of the most successful groups in the animal kingdom. From the glistening metallic hues of jewel beetles to the formidable jaws of stag beetles, their forms and functions are incredibly varied, contributing to their ecological significance.</p><p>One of the key features that distinguish beetles from other insects is their hardened forewings, known as <em>elytra</em>. These protective wing cases cover the delicate hindwings and the dorsal side of the abdomen, shielding them from damage and desiccation. When beetles fly, the elytra lift to allow the hindwings to unfold and propel the insect. This unique adaptation has allowed beetles to explore diverse habitats, from rainforests and deserts to freshwater environments.</p><p>Beetles play essential roles in ecosystems. Some are decomposers, breaking down dead plants and animals and recycling nutrients back into the soil. Others are pollinators, contributing to the reproduction of flowering plants. Predatory beetles help control the populations of other insects, acting as natural pest control agents. Meanwhile, some species have specialized relationships with plants, fungi, or even mammals, highlighting their ecological versatility.</p>...7006525Coleopterology116116https://www.gandhi.com.mx/coleopterology-9798347809103/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6960417/image.jpg?v=638769655254500000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20259798347809103_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9798347809103_<p>Beetles, belonging to the order <em>Coleoptera</em>, represent the largest group of insects, with over 400,000 described species and many more likely undiscovered.
