Sexual communication in castniid moths: Males mark their territories and appear to bear all chemical burden. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Castniid moths (Lepidoptera: Castniidae) display a butterfly-like reproductive behavior, i.e., they use visual stimuli for mate location and females have apparently lost their pheromone glands in an evolutionary context.

More to legs than meets the eye: Presence and function of pheromone compounds on heliothine moth legs

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.

Trait‐mediated effects driven by an invasive herbivore alter functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 216-228, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruit traits play a fundamental role in mediating plant‐frugivore interactions, shaping seed dispersal dynamics. Given the complexity of multi‐species interactions, these traits and, consequently, plant‐frugivore interactions can be indirectly influenced by third‐party ...
