Nonadditive effects of two contrasting introduced herbivores on the reproduction of a pollination-specialized palm. [PDF]
Ecology, 2022 Abstract Plant–animal interactions fall within a mutualism–antagonism continuum, exerting a wide range of effects on plant reproductive success. These effects become even more complex and diverse when several disparate animal species interact with the same plant species. Despite the increasing number of studies about the influence of herbivory on plant

Moths behaving like butterflies. Evolutionary loss of long range attractant pheromones in castniid moths: a Paysandisia archon model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: In the course of evolution butterflies and moths developed two different reproductive behaviors. Whereas butterflies rely on visual stimuli for mate location, moths use the 'female calling plus male seduction' system, in which females release

Edible Lepidoptera in Mexico: Geographic distribution, ethnicity, economic and nutritional importance for rural people [PDF]
Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2011 In this paper, we reported the butterflies and moths that are consumed in Mexico. We identified 67 species of Lepidoptera that are eaten principally in their larval stage in 17 states of Mexico. These species belong to 16 families: Arctiidae, Bombycidae,
