TL;DR: The great silver water beetle Hydrophilus piceus is one of the largest aquatic insects in Europe, and in Britain it is rare and endangered, and confined to a small number of low-lying marshes.
Abstract: 1. The great silver water beetle Hydrophilus piceus is one of the largest aquatic insects in Europe. In Britain it is rare and endangered, and confined to a small number of low-lying marshes. Very little is known about the beetle populations in any of these areas, or the connectivity between them.

TL;DR: In the present study, microfungal flora of internal and external surface of Hydrophilus piceus and Dytiscus marginalis collected from their natural habitats in Erzurum (Turkey) are evaluated and species that were recognized as pathogenic or toxigenic, and ones having biotechnological importance were found.
Abstract: Insects are widely used for their potential source of protein, lipids, carbohydrates and certain vitamins in many parts of the world. As in terrestial ones, aquatic insects can also carry fungal structures. Therefore, in the present study, we evaluated microfungal flora of internal and external surface of Hydrophilus piceus and Dytiscus marginalis collected from their natural habitats in Erzurum (Turkey). We isolated total 19 different species of fungi belonging to Penicillium, Alternaria, Beauveria, Trichoderma, Fusarium, Aspergillus, Acremonium, Paecilomyces genera. The relationship between these fungi and edible insects was discussed further in the light of the existing literature. Among the isolated fungi, species that were recognized as pathogenic or toxigenic, and ones having biotechnological importance were found.

TL;DR: Three newly recorded species (Anacaena limbata (Fabricius, 1792), Hydrobius fuscipes, and Hydrophilus piceus) are described, and their distributions in Algeria and worldwide are presented.
Abstract: Distributional notes on some Northeastern Algerian Hydrophilidae species are given. Three newly recorded species (Anacaena limbata (Fabricius, 1792), Hydrobius fuscipes (Linnaeus, 1758), and Hydrophilus piceus (Linnaeus, 1758)) are described, and their distributions in Algeria and worldwide are presented.
