Abstract Host–pathogen dynamics are influenced by many factors that vary locally, but models of disease rarely consider dynamics across spatially heterogeneous environments. In addition, theory predicts that dispersal will influence host–pathogen dynamics of populations that are linked, although this has not been examined empirically in natural systems.

We investigated the within‐ and between‐population variability in chemical defence of the wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis). The major components of its defences, SBMP (2‐sec‐butyl‐3‐methoxypyrazine) and IBMP (2‐isobutyl‐3‐methoxypyrazine), are volatiles that deter bird attacks.

We present a well‐resolved molecular phylogeny of the lycaenid subfamily Poritiinae based on 14 genes from 177 taxa. We confirm the division of the subfamily into two tribes, and divide the Liptenini tribe into six subtribes, including the new subtribe Cooksoniina. The common ancestor of the Poritiini tribe was likely Asian, while that of the Liptenini

Evolutionary history of Euteliidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea)
We elucidated evolutionary relationships of Euteliidae. The divergence time estimated Euteliidae ancestors originated about 53 Ma. Malpighiales are inferred to be ancestral larval hostplant order for Euteliidae. Abstract We performed a molecular phylogenetic analysis on the family Euteliidae to clarify deep divergences and elucidate evolutionary ...
