Abundance of Oxythyrea sp. and Tropinota sp. Flower Chafer Beetles on Various Plant Species in Northern Mallorca

The relevant study investigated the habitat preferences of beetles belonging to the Oxythyrea and Tropinota genera in Northern Mallorca, with a particular focus on flowering species as host plants. A total of 838 observational results were collected throughout field surveys. Key findings indicated that Oxythyrea sp. and Tropinota sp. beetles predominantly inhabited areas with dense populations of flowering Galactites sp. and Asphodelus sp. plants in this region.
