Phenological shifts and increases in voltinism within a moth community over a century of anthropogenic change. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract In temperate ecosystems, warming temperatures can advance spring phenology, extend autumn phenology, disrupt dormancy regulation, result in phenological mismatch across taxa, and even lead to increases in the number of generations per year (i.e., increases in voltinism).

Ecological Traits Fail to Consistently Predict Moth Species Persistance in Managed Forest Stands [PDF]
, 2017 Species traits have been used as predictors of species extinction and colonization probabilities in fragmented landscapes. Thus far, trait-based analytical frameworks have been less commonly employed as predictive tools for species persistence following ...

Construction and performance of a novel capture-mark-release moth trap [PDF]
, 2017 Mark-recapture studies can provide important information about moth movement as well as habitat preference across a landscape, but to date, such studies tend to be species-specific or require labor-intensive methodologies.
