Disentangling the Effect of Climate and Human Influence on Distribution Patterns of the Darkling Beetle Scotobius pilularius Germar, 1823 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

Scotobius pilularius Germar 1823 (Tenebrioninae: Scotobiini) is mainly distributed in natural temperate and mesic grasslands of the Pampean biogeographic province. However, it is also found in climatically extreme environments such as cold and dry grasslands within the Patagonian biogeographic provi...

Pilularius natural distribution area, only the human influence hypothesis significantly explains its distribution outside of its natural area. This outcome suggests that S. Pilularius moved from living in a complete disassociation to human settlements or asynanthropy before human settlements in its natural area, to living in close association with human settlements or synanthropy outside of its natural area. © Museum and Institute of Zoology PAS.
