Skin Reactions to Pine Processionary Caterpillar Thaumetopoea pityocampa Schiff
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Pine caterpillar, Thaumetopoea pityocampa Schiff, is a phyto‐ and xylophagous lepidopteran, responsible for the delay in the growth or the death of various types of pines. Besides nature damage, pine caterpillar causes dermatological reactions in humans by contact with its irritating larvae hairs.

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

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.In this study, a new phylogenetic study reclassifies the moth subfamilies Dyopsinae and Thiacidinae. For the first time, Thiacidas postica—the type species of Thiacidinae—was sequenced and shown to belong within Dyopsinae, in the Ceroctena clade. As a result, Thiacidinae is reinstated as the tribe Thiacidini (stat. nov.) within Dyopsinae.

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 We here report the first complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of a skipper, Ctenoptilum vasava Moore, 1865 (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Pyrginae). The mt genome of the skipper is a circular molecule of 15,468 bp, containing 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 24 putative transfer RNA (tRNA), genes including an extra copy of trnS (AGN) and a tRNA‐like insertion trnL ...

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

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