Rapid construction of insect–plant interaction networks via multiplexed long‐fragment DNA metabarcoding and NGS

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Molecular identification of insect food webs can accurately reveal complex trophic interactions and serve as a foundation for understanding ecosystem functioning and advancing biodiversity conservation. This process typically involves DNA library construction, high‐throughput sequencing and subsequent steps, including data assembly, annotation,

Settling moths as potential pollinators of Uncaria rhynchophylla (Rubiaceae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2016
Nocturnal pollinators such as moths have received less attention than diurnal insects. To elucidate whether nocturnal moths are important pollinators, we observed both the diurnal and nocturnal visitors to the flowers of Uncaria rhynchophylla (Rubiaceae)

The Parasitoid Wasp Glyptapanteles porthetriae Induces a Photoperiod‐Dependent Diapause‐Like State in Its Potential Overwintering Host Lasiocampa quercus

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We evaluated Lasiocampa quercus as an overwintering host for the koinobiont larval endoparasitoid Glyptapanteles porthetriae by exposing parasitized larvae to different environmental conditions and comparing parasitoid development with that in the primary host Lymantria dispar.

Effect of bulb type on moth trap catch and composition in UK gardens

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We analyse 10 years of records Garden Moth Scheme (GMS) to estimate the effect of bulb and trap type on the number of moths caught by moth traps. We find that brighter, higher wattage bulbs collect the most moths. Heath traps catch fewer moths than Robinson or Skinner‐stye traps.

Do camera light traps for moths provide similar data as conventional funnel light traps?

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We recorded moths using a traditional collection method (funnel light traps, FLTs) and compared them with records made using automated camera light traps (CLTs). In direct comparison, the recorded moth species richness was similar, but the CLTs were able to leverage their advantages over longer periods of time and recorded more species.
