Sharing the same space: foraging behaviour of saproxylic beetles in relation to dietary components of morphologically similar larvae

Original language description

1. Saproxylic beetles (Coleoptera) have particular requirements for dead wood. Little is known about their larval development, especially within intermediate and late stages of dead wood decay. 2. We studied the natural foraging behaviour of three saproxylic beetles with morphologically similar (i.e. convergent) larvae and similar habitat requirements ? Cucujus cinnaberinus Scopoli (Cucujidae), Pyrochroa coccinea L., and Schizotus pectinicornis L. (Pyrochroidae) ? examining dietary components using visual gut content analysis. 3. There were few significant differences in diet among the study species, but there were significant differences for the different dietary components in individual species. Guts of all three species included more plant and fungal material than animal. We also observed that with increasing body size larvae foraged significantly less on fungal material. We observed significant differences among species and selection with respect to body size during the overwinteri
