How far have we come: 170 years of research on Canadian Coleoptera
A brief history of the research on Coleoptera in Canada is recounted. The Canadian fauna was first studied by Kirby (1837) from specimens collected during the first two Franklin expeditions to the Canadian Arctic. Over the next 170 years many investigators have turned their attention to Canadian bee...
