Aposematic Coloration of Moths Decreases Strongly along an Elevational Gradient in the Andes [PDF]
Insects, 2021 On tropical mountains, predation pressure decreases with elevation. Accordingly, one expects an elevational decay in the prevalence of costly defensive traits such as aposematic coloration.

Trait Variation in Moths Mirrors Small-Scaled Ecological Gradients in A Tropical Forest Landscape [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Along environmental gradients, communities are expected to be filtered from the regional species pool by physical constraints, resource availability, and biotic interactions. This should be reflected in species trait composition.

Life‐History Responses of the Fall Webworm Hyphantria cunea to Temperature Change: Not Following the Temperature–Size Rule [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.The life‐history traits of the fall webworm were examined at 20°C, 22°C, 24°C, 26°C, and 28°C. Larval development time was shorter in males than females at all tested temperatures. Female body weight increased at high temperatures, while male body weight decreased.
