Nature: Beetle Science

"'We live in the age of beetles,' claims the Coleopterists Society, an international group of scientists devoted to the study of this diverse and abundant insect order (Coleoptera).... The abundance of beetle species and their countless interactions with other life forms make the study of beetles important to the biological sciences overall. At Cornell University, scientists in the Department of Entomology study beetles in the context of biodiversity, systematic biology, invasive species, and other topics which are presented in this Explore Cornell feature." - from the website. <http://explore.cornell.edu/>
