Lepidoptera research in Puerto Rico: Reconnecting with historical legacies to guide future priorities

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 ...

The unresolved phylogenomic tree of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera): Assessing the potential causes and consequences

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

First records of species of Gelechioidae from Bitterfeld amber (Insecta, Lepidoptera) and notes on two gelechioid species from Baltic amber [PDF]

Zitteliana
Research on Lepidoptera from the Bitterfeld amber is still in a very early stage. The superfamily Gelechioidea is here recorded for the first time from this deposit.
