Lizards, snails, caterpillars and beetles were common toys to play with when I was a child and enjoyed the countryside in La Palma or at the farm in Tenerife. Later, when I was a teenager I started a collection of beetles, and since then, I haven´t stopped, Entomology having become a Leitmotiv and umbilical cord with nature up to the present. Beetles were probably the hidden reason why I decided to study Biology at the University; when the pressure at home –a mild one– was to do something more “serious”, like Architecture, Agrarian engineering or Philosophy. However, I have never worked in Entomology professionally; but always as a happy and priviledged amateur.
When I finished my Biology Degree in La Laguna, the knowledge about Entomology of the Canary Islands was dispersed mainly in foreign institutions and journals. In 1976 I established, along with my wife and my brother, a cultural non-profit private association IBCER (International Bureau of Canarian Entomological Research) with the aim of collecting that information and offering a contact point for all researchers interested in our insect fauna.
At present, IBCER is dormant, but my library stays open and the same spirit of assistance to any colleague persists in the second floor at home, where I have established my cabinet (you can see a set of photos at the end of this page). Now, I have the intention to provide as much information as I can through this web-site, mainly on Coleoptera, bibliography, and whatever is in my hands, with the only limit being that of available time.
When you are young and looking at bugs, each group has attractive aspects: ants, springtails, spiders, grasshoppers, dragonflies… My interest in ground-beetles goes back to 1969, when I discovered a few black Microlestes close to my golf ball. Its perfect design just fascinated me. The choice was made and it received full support of Don José María Fernández, curator of the Museum of Natural History at Santa Cruz, whom I started to visit regularly.
I studied some 23.000 specimens from my own collection as well as from several museum collections (Madrid, Oxford, London, Paris, etc.). A total of 232 species live in the Canary Islands, 70% of which are endemic to the archipelago. I revised all the endemic taxa and described 1 tribe, 4 new genera and 29 new species. In parallel, I established 28 new synonyms. The Monografía de los carábidos de las islas Canarias, was published a year later (1992). It has 734 pages and 313 figures. Some chapters deal with aspects like phenology, dispersal power, and parasites, with some emphasis on biogeography and comments on evolution. But at that time, I did not perform phylogenetic analysis. That came later, but not with carabids.
You can access the Monograph here (PDF) or from the section Publication /Scientific, were all other papers dealing with Carabidae are available.
Having grown after the monograph on Carabidae, my interest in understanding how species form and why, islands are the best places to study evolution, and beetles the best candidates. I defined a profile for the ideal group: it has to be monophyletic, with as many species as possible, all endemic and without flying capacity. Winner by a wide margin: the genus Laparocerus Schönherr, 1834 (Curculionidae: Entiminae).
After 15 years of studying the genus I am still not finished, but getting closer to the end. The Laparocerus are not as rare as previously thought. They are easy to be found by night. I developed efficient techniques for sampling, having collected more than 32.000 specimens, many of them belonging to species previously unknown to science. I prospected the Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands consciously, repeating expeditions to the same island, or to the same place whenever needed. Additionally, I have studied the material kept in all major collections in European museums, plus that sent by colleagues. If you have a recalcitrant species of Laparocerus to be identified, please do not hesitate to write to me.
In the section of Production/Scientific there are several articles about Laparocerus, many describing new species. The number of species level taxa has increased from 123 (when I started) to 215, and there are some more in the pipeline.
I faced the phylogenetic study with the collaboration of Dr. Mariano Hernández Ferrer, from the University Institute of Tropical Diseases and Public Health of the Canary Islands, and hired some technical assistance for laboratory work. For financing part of the costs of the molecular study I received a subvention in 2004-2005 from the Fundación Biodiversidad (Madrid). Needless to say, I had to update my knowledge of Genetics and studied the new methodologies for phylogenetic inference and a set of complex software, all with the good guidance of Mariano. I learned a lot –what I always appreciate– , and I am convinced that he also learned something about beetles. The phylogeny of the Madeiran clade was published in 2008, and that of the Canarian-Moroccan clade should be finished in 2015.
Since Coleoptera Atlantidum of Wollaston (1865), by the end of the XX Century, there was no modern account of beetles from the Canary Islands. In collaboration with Dr. Pedro Oromí, from the University of La Laguna, and with the assistance of many colleagues, we published a new catalogue in 2000 (see PDF), updating to 2061 the total number of species and subspecies, of which 1247 are endemic. We also registered 325 recognized synonyms.
When I find a suitable database and some time, it is my intention to include the Canarian Catalogue in this website for online access. For the moment, I keep it in my desktop running on Procite, and oldie, but performing well.
One of my main goals at IBCER was to find all the entomological bibliography related to the Canary Islands. That was in the times of cards, typing machines, carbon copies, ordinary letters and smailmail to contact other colleagues, visiting libraries in person, etcetera; something unimaginable for the Internet generation. In 1976 I finished a preliminary list, and in 1987 the book A Bibliography of the Canary Island Entomology was published, which was a milestone.
Collecting insects or any other biological material has become complicated in the Canary Islands. The Spanish national legislation on wildlife conservation and in particular the authorization process for collecting samples was designed with large mammals or birds in the mind, not with insects. To get a permit is possible, but it takes time. Many colleagues just write to me, but I do not extend permits. What I can do is help with the bureaucracy and cross fingers.
Below you will find a link to a new page with application forms, contacts, and some recommendations. Not all Cabildos will ask for the same information, but it refers basically to questions like: what, where, when, how, who, and what for. It will take X time to get a reply, and it is common that the authorization includes some conditions.
If some of your target species are protected because they are threatened, the application procedures are different and the Biodiversity Service of the Autonomous Government will be involved.
