TL;DR: Twenty-two species of Cerambycidae are newly recorded for the Maritime Provinces as a whole and three species and one subspecies, Brachyleptura circumdata (Olivier), Acmaeops discoideus (Haldeman), Oberea myops Haldeman and Leptura obliterata deleta (LeConte), are newly record for Canada.
Abstract: Forty-eight species of Cerambycidae are newly recorded for New Brunswick, six species are newly recorded for Nova Scotia, and fi ve species are newly recorded for Prince Edward Island for a total of 59 new provincial records. Of these, 22 species are newly recorded for the Maritime Provinces as a whole and three species and one subspecies, Brachyleptura circumdata (Olivier), Acmaeops discoideus (Haldeman), Oberea myops Haldeman and Leptura obliterata deleta (LeConte), are newly recorded for Canada.
TL;DR: Epigeal species such as carabid beetles Pterostichus quadrifoveolatus and Sericoda quadripunctata and a rove beetle Arrhenopeplus tesserula were more numerous in the first year after the fire, while most of the xylophagous and saproxylic species occurred more abundantly or appeared in the second year after fire.
Abstract: were collected from pitfall traps and 263 species from window traps in 2007. In 2008, the respective numbers were 155 and 370. The following fire-adapted species were caught in the study areas: Melanophila acuminata (Deg.) (Buprestidae), Pterostichus quadrifoveolatus Letz. and Sericoda quadripunctata (Deg.) (Carabidae), Arrhenopeplus tesserula (Curtis) (Staphylinidae), Sphaeriestes stockmanni (Bistr.) (Salpingidae), Denticollis borealis (Pk.) (Elateridae), Stephanopachys linearis (Kug.) (Bostrichidae), Laemophloeus muticus (F.) (Laemophloeidae), Platyrhinus resinosus (Scop.) (Anthribidae), Acmaeops marginata (F.) and A. septentrionis (Ths.) (Cerambycidae). Burnt areas are also preferred habitats of the following four relatively rare species: Drapetes mordelloides (Host) (Elateridae), Acritus homoeopathicus Woll. (Histeridae), Stagetus borealis Israelson (Anobiidae) and Clypastraea pusilla (Gyll.) (Corylophidae). Epigeal species such as carabid beetles Pterostichus quadrifoveolatus and Sericoda quadripunctata and a rove beetle Arrhenopeplus tesserula, as well as xylophagous buprestid beetle Melanophila acuminata were more numerous in the first year after the fire, while most of the xylophagous and saproxylic species occurred more abundantly or appeared in the second year after fire.
