Austral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 449-463, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Larval feeding by the moth genus Ogmograptis (Bucculatricidae: Lepidoptera) creates one of the most iconic features of the Australian bush—the ‘scribbles’ found on smooth‐barked Eucalyptus. The taxonomic history of Ogmograptis has been challenging, with members of the genus being initially described in four different genera representing three ...

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1215-1232, November 2023., 2023 In Puerto Rico, a tropical archipelago in a region characterized by complex socio‐economic and environmental change, ecological knowledge of the local insect fauna is scarce. Greater emphasis on ecological monitoring of model insect groups like Lepidoptera could provide insight into the effects of global change on tropical biodiversity and contribute ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 531-550, October 2022., 2022 Phylogenomics has helped us resolve much of the Lepidoptera tree of life, but the relationships among the superfamilies within Ditrysia, containing 98% of the order's species richness, remain unresolved. One of the unresolved questions is the phylogenetic position of the large microlepidopteran superfamily Gelechioidea, whose placement depends on the ...

Museomics of a rare taxon: placing Whalleyanidae in the Lepidoptera Tree of Life
Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 926-937, October 2021., 2021 We highlight the usefulness of whole‐genome sequencing of museum specimens in order to infer the phylogenetic positions of rare and difficult to collect taxa. We showcase the utility of a museomics approach by providing the first extensive genomic dataset for the enigmatic genus Whalleyana, endemic to Madagascar, and find it to be sister to ...

Refining the phylogeny of Crambidae with complete sampling of subfamilies (Lepidoptera, Pyraloidea)
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 84-99, January 2021., 2021 Abstract Crambidae is a group of moths with more than 10,000 species occurring worldwide that evolved diverse morphological and ecological habits. They can be best recognized by morphological characters of the adult tympanal organ and larval chaetotaxy. We present the first molecular phylogeny of Crambidae including all subfamilies and most tribes.

Gelechiidae Moths Are Capable of Chemically Dissolving the Pollen of Their Host Plants [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Many insects feed on pollen surface lipids and contents accessible through the germination pores. Pollen walls, however, are not broken down because they consist of sporopollenin and are highly resistant to physical and enzymatic damage. Here
