The complete mitochondrial genome of the wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis) and phylogenetic analyses within Arctiinae [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 We report the assembly and annotation of the complete mitochondrial genome of the warningly-coloured wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis) and investigate its phylogenetic position within Arctiinae.

A haplotype-resolved, de novo genome assembly for the wood tiger moth ( Arctia plantaginis ) through trio binning [PDF]
GigaScience, 2020 ABSTRACT Background Diploid genome assembly is typically impeded by heterozygosity, as it introduces errors when haplotypes are collapsed into a consensus sequence. Trio binning offers an innovative solution which exploits heterozygosity for assembly.

Predator-Induced Plasticity on Warning Signal and Larval Life-History Traits of the Aposematic Wood Tiger Moth, Arctia plantaginis [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Predator-induced plasticity in life-history and antipredator traits during the larval period has been extensively studied in organisms with complex life-histories.

Comparative transcriptomics of albino and warningly‐coloured caterpillars [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Coloration is perhaps one of the most prominent adaptations for survival and reproduction of many taxa. Coloration is of particular importance for aposematic species, which rely on their coloring and patterning acting as a warning signal to deter ...

Evaluating responses to temperature during pre-metamorphosis and carry-over effects at post-metamorphosis in the wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis) [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 Insect metamorphosis is one of the most recognized processes delimiting transitions between phenotypes. It has been traditionally postulated as an adaptive process decoupling traits between life stages, allowing evolutionary independence of pre- and post-metamorphic phenotypes.

Defense against predators incurs high reproductive costs for the aposematic moth Arctia plantaginis. [PDF]
Behav Ecol, 2020 Abstract To understand how variation in warning displays evolves and is maintained, we need to understand not only how perceivers of these traits select color and toxicity but also the sources of the genetic and phenotypic variation exposed to selection by them.

Colour polymorphism associated with a gene duplication in male wood tiger moths [PDF]
eLife, 2023 Colour is often used as an aposematic warning signal, with predator learning expected to lead to a single colour pattern within a population. However, there are many puzzling cases where aposematic signals are also polymorphic.

Host’s genetic background determines the outcome of reciprocal faecal transplantation on life-history traits and microbiome composition [PDF]
Animal Microbiome, 2022 Background Microbes play a role in their host's fundamental ecological, chemical, and physiological processes. Host life-history traits from defence to growth are therefore determined not only by the abiotic environment and genotype but also by ...
