Livestock shifts lepidopteran herbivore community due to intraguild elimination in Mediterranean agroforestry systems. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Livestock grazing and trampling have been shown to reduce arthropod populations. Among arthropods, defoliating lepidopterans are particularly important for their impact on trees, the keystone structures of agroforestry systems. This study investigates the impact of livestock on the community of defoliating lepidopterans in agroforestry systems.

Hearing in hooktip moths (Drepanidae: Lepidoptera) [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2003
SUMMARY This study presents anatomical and physiological evidence for a sense of hearing in hooktip moths (Drepanoidea). Two example species, Drepana arcuata and Watsonalla uncinula, were examined. The abdominal ears of drepanids are structurally unique compared to those of other Lepidoptera and other insects, by having an internal ...

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 ...

Physicochemical Characteristics and Nutritional and Biological Properties of Fish Oils in Cameroon: An Overview

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Due to their significant health benefits, fish oils have garnered increasing interest in recent decades. However, Cameroon’s fish oil market remains insignificant, and the few available products are imported, despite the country’s abundant marine resources. Additionally, research on Cameroonian fish oils is relatively recent and scarce. Therefore, this

Landscape woody features, local management and vegetation composition shape moth communities in extensively managed grasslands

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 15, Issue 6, Page 739-751, November 2022., 2022
Macro‐ and micromoths were sampled in 47 extensively managed meadows located in a Swiss lowland region of high‐intensity agriculture. Altogether, results demonstrate that the preservation of integral moth communities within cultivated landscapes necessitates hedgerows and forest patches in complementation to grasslands that are extensively managed ...
