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 ...

Disentangling how urbanisation influences moth diversity in grasslands

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 229-242, March 2024.
Moths were sampled with light traps in 40 grasslands (20 in the urban core of a city and 20 in the surrounding area). Urbanised sites favoured generalist species; high levels of urbanisation were associated with reduced moth abundance, which in turn drove declines in diversity. The negative effect of urbanisation was attenuated by habitat fragmentation

The anti-bat strategy of ultrasound absorption: the wings of nocturnal moths (Bombycoidea: Saturniidae) absorb more ultrasound than the wings of diurnal moths (Chalcosiinae: Zygaenoidea: Zygaenidae)

open access: yesBiology Open, 2017
The selection pressure from echolocating bats has driven the development of a diverse range of anti-bat strategies in insects. For instance, several studies have proposed that the wings of some moths absorb a large portion of the sound energy contained ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of Simao pine caterpillar moth, Dendrolimus kikuchii (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) and the related phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
Dendrolimus kikuchii, the Simao pine caterpillar moth is an economically important forest pest causing great damage to coniferous trees in south China. The whole mitogenome for the moth was sequenced using next-generation sequencing technology.
