The role of juvenile hormone in ontogeny of burying beetles (Coleoptera: Silphidae)
Máslo, Petr ; Šípek, Petr (advisor) ; Hanus, Robert (referee)
Burying beetles play an important role in ecosystems by removal of cadavers of small vertebrates. By competing other necrophagous insects and micro-organisms, they may contribute to reducing health risks. They are also interesting for their complex parental care of offspring. This paper describes the role of the juvenile hormone in the life history of burying beetles, breeding and parental care in particular.
