Whistling in caterpillars (Amorpha juglandis, Bombycoidea): sound-producing mechanism and function [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2011
SUMMARYCaterpillar defenses have been researched extensively, and, although most studies focus on visually communicated signals, little is known about the role that sounds play in defense. We report on whistling, a novel form of sound production for caterpillars and rare for insects in general.

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 599-617, April 2026.
The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Development of Isothermal Amplification Assays for the Identification of Spodoptera eridania and Spodoptera ornithogalli (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Using Mitochondrial Gene Sequences

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Although the southern armyworm (SAW), Spodoptera eridania, and the yellow‐striped armyworm (YSAW), Spodoptera ornithogalli, have not yet been introduced to Korea, they are listed as regulated quarantine pests in Korea because of their potential to cause serious economic losses in diverse agricultural crops upon introduction.
