Pelvic spine reduction affects diet but not gill raker morphology in two polymorphic brook stickleback (Culaea inconstans) populations. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 The extent of parallelism might generally be lower in between‐species versus between‐population comparisons. In two populations of brook sticklebacks, we found that diet differences were associated with pelvic spine reduction, but we found no evidence of any difference in gill raker morphology associated with pelvic spine reduction. This is in contrast

A checklist of gymnosperm-feeding leafminers (Arthopoda, Insecta) in North America and Europe [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022 The leafminers on gymnosperms receive much less attention than those on either angiosperms or ferns. Given the distinctly different leaf shape and leaf venation found in gymnosperms, they would be expected to host significantly different leafminer groups.

Austral Entomology, 2023 Abstract Larval feeding by the moth genus Ogmograptis (Bucculatricidae: Lepidoptera) creates one of the most iconic features of the Australian bush—the ‘scribbles’ found on smooth‐barked Eucalyptus. The taxonomic history of Ogmograptis has been challenging, with members of the genus being initially described in four different genera representing three ...

Increased gene sampling strengthens support for higher-level groups within leaf-mining moths and relatives (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Researchers conducting molecular phylogenetic studies are frequently faced with the decision of what to do when weak branch support is obtained for key nodes of importance.

The clockwork of insect activity: Advancing ecological understanding through automation. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe study demonstrates that time‐controlled insect sampling using an automated Malaise trap in combination with metabarcoding allows for the observation and documentation of taxon‐specific activity patterns. These recorded activity patterns can provide valuable insights into the underlying ecological processes, including parasitoid–host relationships ...

Bucculatrix brunnella sp. n. (Lepidoptera, Bucculatricidae) from Sicily and Sardinia
Nota Lepidopterologica, 2018 Bucculatrix brunnella sp. n. is described from Sicily and Sardinia. The male of the new species is characterized by the almost monochrome ochreous brown forewing. It may resemble the monochrome form of B. cristatella (Zeller, 1839), but the colour of the
