Ex vivo delivery of dsRNA targeting ryanodine receptors for control of Tuta absoluta

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 6400-6408, December 2024.
Long dsRNA molecules homologous to the Ryanodine receptor delivered via detached leaf bioassays reduce target gene expression and adult emergence in Tuta absoluta. Abstract BACKGROUND RNA interference (RNAi) is an endogenous eukaryote viral defence mechanism representing a unique form of post‐transcriptional gene silencing.

Isolation of BAC Clones Containing Conserved Genes from Libraries of Three Distantly Related Moths: A Useful Resource for Comparative Genomics of Lepidoptera

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Lepidoptera, butterflies and moths, is the second largest animal order and includes numerous agricultural pests. To facilitate comparative genomics in Lepidoptera, we isolated BAC clones containing conserved and putative single‐copy genes from libraries of three pests, Heliothis virescens, Ostrinia nubilalis, and Plutella xylostella, harboring the ...

Moths versus Bees: Contrasts in Habitat Preferences Across Barrens of the Northeastern USA

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
We investigated the response of bee vs. moth communities to abiotic and vegetation drivers in barrens across the Northeast USA. Bee and moth communities contrasted in their habitat preferences for abundance and species richness, but not for the Shannon‐Wiener Diversity Index. Our results suggest that barrens management for both closed and open canopies

DNA metabarcoding of light trap samples vs. morphological species identification

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 245-256, April 2024.
Five light trap samples of different complexities were subjected to COI metabarcode sequencing. Species detection rates of metabarcoding versus manual identification were compared between the samples and two different amplicons. Metabarcoding was able to detect between 46% and 69% of manually identified species.

Hiding in plain sight: Phylogenomics reveals a new branch on the Noctuoidea tree of life

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 258-278, April 2024.
Using anchored hybrid enrichment phylogenomics plus available genomic and transcriptomic data, we provide a densely sampled phylogeny of Prominent Moths (Notodontidae). The phylogenomic resolution of up to 854 loci permits the recognition that the notodontid subfamily Scranciinae does not belong to Notodontidae, nor to any described family of moths ...
