The Coleopterists Society is pleased to announce two winners of the 2026 Ross Taylor Bell and Joyce Rockenbach Bell Research Grant! The awardees are:
Dr. Vinicius S. Ferreira for the project “Resolving the Calopteron complex: a revision of the largest New World Endemic Net-winged beetle genus (Elateroidea: Lycidae)”. The awardee will take important steps towards finalizing a taxonomic revision by dissecting and digitizing numerous primary type specimens at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Paris, France).
Dr. Kyle Schnepp for the project “Phylogeny and classification of Melolonthinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae): a targeted enrichment approach”. This project involves using new molecular methods to reconstruct a phylogeny of the largest subfamily of scarab beetles to study their evolution, classification, and phylogeographic history.
We would like to thank Joyce Bell for making this grant possible with her generous donation to The Coleopterists Society in memory of her husband, Ross Bell. This grant is awarded on April 23 rd , which would have been Ross’s 97 th birthday.
We are extremely pleased to announce that
The Coleopterists Bulletin and
The Coleopterists Society Patricia Vaurie Series Monographs
will be permanently open access for all articles published in 2026!
