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 ...

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.

The complete mitochondrial genome of a satin moth: Leucoma chrysoscela (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Lymantriinae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
We describe the mitogenome sequence of Leucoma chrysoscela (Collenette, 1934) collected in the Longtan National Forest Park, which is located in the southeast of China. The assembled mitogenome is 15,508 bp in length and consists 13 protein coding genes,

The complete mitochondrial genome of Dysgonia stuposa (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) and phylogenetic relationships within Noctuoidea [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
To determine the Dysgonia stuposa mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) structure and to clarify its phylogenetic position, the entire mitogenome of D. stuposa was sequenced and annotated. The D. stuposa mitogenome is 15,721 bp in size and contains 37 genes (

\u3ci\u3eOwlet Caterpillars of Eastern North America.\u3c/i\u3e David L. Wagner, Dale F. Schweitzer, J Bolling Sullivan & Richard C. Reardon. 2011. Princeton University Press, 576 pp., soft cover, 8 by 10. [PDF]

, 2018
(excerpt) You may be wondering what an owlet caterpillar is, since “owlet” is not mentioned in some books about insects. It is a general name for moths in the family Noctuidae and is nicely defined by Marshall (2006) as: “nocturnal moths are sometimes ...

Depilation increases while hairiness decreases the risk of drowning: A hitherto unappreciated survival role of setae in woolly bear caterpillars of the moth Lemyra imparilis (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea: Erebidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2016
This note aims to put on record a hitherto unreported function of caterpillar setae supplementary to those already known. When woolly bear caterpillars of the moth Lemyra imparilis (Butler) have their body hairs removed and are dropped into a bucket of ...

Variation in Lepidopteran Occurrence in Hemlock-Dominated and Deciduous-Dominated Forests of Central Appalachia [PDF]

, 2018
Eastern hemlock, (Tsuga canadensis Carrière, Pinaceae), is threatened with extirpation by an exotic invasive herbivore, the hemlock woolly adelgid, (Adelges tsugae Annand, Homoptera: Adelgidae). Given this threat, a broader and more detailed knowledge of
