Evolutionary functional morphology of the proboscis and feeding apparatus of hawk moths (Sphingidae: Lepidoptera). [PDF]

J Morphol, 2022
The morphology of the proboscis and associated feeding organs was studied in several nectar‐feeding hawk moths, as well as a specialized honey‐feeder and two supposedly nonfeeding species. The proboscis of nectar‐feeding Sphingidae displays uniformous tip morphology. A novel piercing proboscis is described in a honey‐feeding hawk moth.

Comparative morphology of serotonin‐immunoreactive neurons innervating the central complex in the brain of dicondylian insects

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 531, Issue 14, Page 1482-1508, October 2023., 2023
The central complex is an insect brain area controlling goal‐directed orientation. Comparative analysis of insect species ranging from firebrats to flies reveals two bilateral pairs of serotonin‐immunoreactive neurons innervating the central complex in all neopteran species and two additional pairs of neurons in flies and butterflies.

Coleopteran and Lepidopteran Hosts of the Entomopathogenic Genus Cordyceps sensu lato

Journal of Mycology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Entomophthoralean and ascomycetous fungi are the two major groups known to parasitize arthropods in almost every terrestrial habitat of the earth. Within Ascomycota, Cordyceps sensu lato is a large genus with more than 400 spp. described on numerous orders of Arthropoda. Among the hosts of Cordyceps, Coleoptera and Lepidoptera are the two major orders.
