TL;DR
Fossil insect remains from Quaternary deposits from Chelford site in England have shed considerable light on the nature of glacial and interglacial environments and the timing and intensity of climate changes during this highly variable period.

Insect remains, chiefly of beetles, have been obtained from a Late Pleistocene organic mud which was interbedded within the Middle Sands at Chelford, Cheshire, and it has been possible to deduce much of the ecology of the district at the time of the deposition of the organic mud.

The biota indicates that a Picea-Larix krummholz with extensive tundra openings was present in southeastern Iowa between 18090 and 16710 yr BP, and these lines of evidence lead to consistent palaeoclimato-logical interpretation and palaeoecological reconstruction.

Men's thermoregulatory responses were similar to the men's, but were shifted toward higher (warmer) values of central drive, and approached steady state in the cold more slowly than women's.

A revision of the hydrophilid subfamily Helophorinae (Coleoptera), containing the single genus Helophorus Fabricius 1775, is presented, including an historical review, a discussion of diagnostic characters and techniques, and an attempt at a phylogenetic reconstruction of the major lineages of the Nearctichelophorus.

The holotype and paratypes of Micrope plus hopkinsi provide morphological evidence for the evolutionary sequence of elylral puncture development in the genus Micropeplus and are used to construct a provisional phylogeny for the subfamily Micropeplinae.

Localized successional sequences similar to those at Norwood are conceived to have occurred repeatedly during the melting of the Laurentide ice, and thus the proposed model has potentially broad application to the interpretation of late-glacial sequences.

Exposures of late Tertiary sediments in the North American Arctic contain well-preserved fossils of Coleoptera (beetles) and have yielded fragments referable to two fossil species of the helophoran subgenus Cyphelophorus (Hydrophilidae), which probably represent sequential species in the lineage leading to H. tuberculatus.
