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

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 780-794, May 2023., 2023 In this study, we investigated chemicals in leg extracts of three heliothine moth species (Chloridea (Heliothis) virescens, Chloridea (Heliothis) subflexa and Helicoverpa armigera). Identical pheromone compounds were present on the legs in both sexes of all three species, with no striking interspecies or intersex differences.

Adding leaves to the Lepidoptera tree: capturing hundreds of nuclear genes from old museum specimens
Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 649-671, July 2021., 2021 A target enrichment kit and workflow to sequence and process hundreds to thousands of loci for recent and old Lepidoptera specimens is presented. Taxa are added to the Lepidoptera phylogeny based on museum specimens collected between 1892 and 2017. Lepidoptera systematic relationships are discussed.
