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.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Laothoe amurensis sinica (Rothschild & Jordan, 1903) was sequenced. The L. amurensis sinica mitogenome is circular, double-stranded, with length of 15,341 bp.

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)

A faunistic study of moths (Lep.: Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea and Noctuoidea) in Khabr National Park, with a new record from Iran [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایرانThe moth fauna of southeastern Iran’s protected areas remains largely unexplored. To help fill this gap, moths were sampled in Khabr National Park (Kerman Province) during six periods: September 2022, February and April 2023, October and December 2024 ...

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 231-240, April 2020., 2020 We have identified a Masculinizer homologue (PxyMasc) in the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. As in Bombyx mori, this gene controls doublesex splicing and male viability suggesting deep conservation of this sex‐determination mechanism. PxyMasc functions early (3–6 h) in embryonic development to initiate male‐form doublesex splicing, but its ...

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).

Moth assemblages in Costa Rica rain forest mirror small‐scale topographic heterogeneity
Biotropica, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 288-301, March 2020., 2020 Abstract In many tropical lowland rain forests, topographic variation increases environmental heterogeneity, thus contributing to the extraordinary biodiversity of tropical lowland forests. While a growing number of studies have addressed effects of topographic differences on tropical insect communities at regional scales (e.g., along extensive ...

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2021 The diversity of hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) is poorly known in the biomes of the Bahia state. However, studies were carried out in other states of the northeastern region with species inventories in the Atlantic Forest, Caatinga and Cerrado. In
