Aposematism and mimicry in soft-bodied beetles of the superfamily Cleroidea (Insecta)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The evolution of animal life strategies is among the main themes of current evolutionary biology. Checkered beetles, soft-winged flower beetles and their allies (superfamily Cleroidea) exhibit well-known aposematic color patterns, particularly in the family Cleridae, which participate in mimicry complexes mostly with unpalatable beetles, ants and velvet ants representing a Müllerian-Batesian continuum. Many cleroids also exhibit attenuated hardening of cuticular layers resulting in a soft-bodied appearance. Here, a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the entire Cleroidea was performed using sequences of two nuclear and two mitochondrial loci of ~4 kb total length. Inferred phylogenies were used to reconstruct ancestral color patterns and involvement in mimicry complexes. The hypothesis of a soft-bodied ancestor of Cleridae and allies was tested. The phylogenetic analyses corroborated the expanded Cleroidea concept including Byturidae and Biphyllidae formerly classified as Cucujoidea. Character state optimization showed cryptic coloration was the ancestral state in Cleroidea, from which aposematic coloration originated several times in distant cleroid lineages. Within Cleridae mimicry also arose from an ancestor that was cryptic, and multiple lineages that mimicked unpalatable beetles (Chrysomelidae, Meloidae, Lycidae) and stinging-Hymenoptera evolved. Aposematic coloration was acquired in all major clerid lineages including Thanerocleridae, which are either the sister group of Chaetosomatidae, or Cleridae. These findings suggest that mimetic traits in the clerid clade evolved at various times, possibly soon after the origin of soft-bodiedness. The adaptive value of aposematism in cleroids is likely to be enhanced in soft-bodied species, as this trait provide limited means of protection against predators, and therefore may promote the acquisition of aposematic and mimetic coloration in various ecological situations.
