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

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
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
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
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 ...
