Systematic Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 531-550, October 2022., 2022 Phylogenomics has helped us resolve much of the Lepidoptera tree of life, but the relationships among the superfamilies within Ditrysia, containing 98% of the order's species richness, remain unresolved. One of the unresolved questions is the phylogenetic position of the large microlepidopteran superfamily Gelechioidea, whose placement depends on the ...

Exploring the power of moth samples to reveal community patterns along shallow ecological gradients
Ecological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 371-381, June 2022., 2022 Some functional or taxonomic groups are more likely to reflect environmental variation than others. We analyzed the suitability of e.g., macrolepidoptera, microlepidoptera, small‐sized species, and specialists to mirror variation in vegetation, as well as their susceptibility to weather and inter‐annual fluctuations.

Adding leaves to the Lepidoptera tree: capturing hundreds of nuclear genes from old museum specimens
Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 649-671, July 2021., 2021 A target enrichment kit and workflow to sequence and process hundreds to thousands of loci for recent and old Lepidoptera specimens is presented. Taxa are added to the Lepidoptera phylogeny based on museum specimens collected between 1892 and 2017. Lepidoptera systematic relationships are discussed.

Analysis on the Complete Mitochondrial Genome ofAndraca theae(Lepidoptera: Bombycoidea) [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2016 The bombycid moth, Andraca theae (Matsumura) (Lepidoptera: Bombycoidea) is an important pest of tea in southeastern China. In the present study, the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of A. theae was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced. The complete mitogenome of A. theae, encoding 37 genes, was 15,737 bp in length (Genbank no. KX365419)

Clicking caterpillars: acoustic aposematism inAntheraea polyphemusand other Bombycoidea [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2007 SUMMARYAcoustic signals produced by caterpillars have been documented for over 100 years, but in the majority of cases their significance is unknown. This study is the first to experimentally examine the phenomenon of audible sound production in larval Lepidoptera, focusing on a common silkmoth caterpillar, Antheraea polyphemus (Saturniidae).

A new species of Pantelodes (Lepidoptera: Bombycoidea: Apatelodidae) from Southern Bahia, Brazil
Zootaxa, 2021 A recent taxonomic study revealed that specimens so far identified as Apatelodes satellitia (Walker, 1855) are in fact representatives of a complex of cryptic species. A new genus was established to hold this complex of species, namely Pantelodes Herbin, 2017.
