Cossid moths (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) as pests of woody plants – A review

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 512-531, November 2025.
The Cossidae is a worldwide family of macro‐moths popularly known as carpenter moths due to the larval habit of boring in the wood of living plants. This review compiles current knowledge on the characteristics, diversity and bionomy of cossid moths as ...

Bionomics of Comadia redtenbacheri (Hammerschmidt, 1847) (Lepidoptera: Cossidae)

SHILAP, 2017
Boring insects feed on the internal tissues of their hosts, and their activity is detected only after a severe damage to the host has occurred; therefore, studying their biology in the wild is difficult.

Acoustic camouflage increases with body size and changes with bat echolocation frequency range in a community of nocturnally active Lepidoptera

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 12, Page 2363-2372, December 2023., 2023
Bigger prey is at higher risk of detection by predators simply because of their size imposing stronger selection on anti‐predator traits. Here, we show how variation in body size influences prey detectability as well as acoustic camouflage in the well‐known arms race between nocturnal moths and echolocating bats.

Mitochondrial phylogenomics of the Australian scribbly gum moth Ogmograptis (Lepidoptera: Bucculatricidae) and an examination of deep‐level relationships within Lepidoptera

Austral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 449-463, November 2023., 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 ...

Evolutionary history of Euteliidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 445-462, July 2023., 2023
We elucidated evolutionary relationships of Euteliidae. The divergence time estimated Euteliidae ancestors originated about 53 Ma. Malpighiales are inferred to be ancestral larval hostplant order for Euteliidae. Abstract We performed a molecular phylogenetic analysis on the family Euteliidae to clarify deep divergences and elucidate evolutionary ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Viscum album

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 701-739, March 2023., 2023
Mistletoe is a charismatic parasite of tree crowns with a long history of folklore and connections with Christmas celebrations. This, and its need for light, helps explain why it is most common in human‐made habitats across Europe. Once thought to benignly take just water and nutrients from its host it is now known to take carbon as well which can lead

Prey size is more representative than prey taxa when measuring dietary overlap in sympatric forest bats

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1407-1419, November 2022., 2022
Sympatric forest bats appear to coexist with high dietary overlap. Analyzing bat diets by size classes, as opposed to only species, provided an alternative interpretation of dietary richness and overlap that may more accurately represent predator perceptions of prey.
