Moth Communities Reveal High Stability Despite Ongoing Compositional Shifts Over Five Years Following Hurricane Disturbance. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We examined the temporal dynamics and ecological stability of tropical forest moth communities using a unique dataset spanning 6 months before and up to 5 years after two extreme hurricanes. While abundance and richness recovered within 2 years, species composition continued to shift, indicating ongoing reassembly with a directional trajectory toward ...

Ultrastructure of the Eggs, Larvae, and Pupae of Hyphantria cunea (Lepidoptera: Erebidae). [PDF]

Insects
Simple Summary To enhance our understanding of the external morphology of Hyphantria cunea, we employed scanning electron microscopy to examine its eggs, larvae, and pupae. The results indicate that the eggs have rough surfaces, and the micropylar region

Lethal effects of allyl isothiocyanate on the egg masses of flighted spongy moth complex Lymantria dispar japonica (Lepidoptera: Erebidae). [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
This study showed that AITC substance was lethal effect to Lymantria dispar japonica egg mass, and our results show a significant decline in egg hatching rate with increasing AITC concentrations. Abstract BACKGROUND The flighted spongy moth complex (FSMC) lays egg masses not only on host plants but also various artificial structures, such as, cargo ...

Artificial Light at Night Affects Larval Growth Without Altering Survival or Pupation in Spongy Moth (<i>Lymantria dispar dispar</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this study, we investigated how artificial light at night (ALAN) affects larval development in the invasive spongy moth. Caterpillars exposed to 3700 K LED light reached higher body masses than those under 2200 K or darkness, suggesting ALAN may enhance growth and influence population dynamics.
