Genomic Insights Into Species Delimitation and the Evolutionary History of Mimetic <i>Aletis</i> Moths (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) in the Afrotropics. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated the evolutionary history and species boundaries of diurnal Aletis moths in the Afrotropics using mitochondrial DNA and genome‐wide SNP data. Our results support five distinct species, with divergence dating back to 0.9 million years ago, influenced by climate‐driven isolation and habitat variation.

Moth Communities Reveal High Stability Despite Ongoing Compositional Shifts Over Five Years Following Hurricane Disturbance. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We examined the temporal dynamics and ecological stability of tropical forest moth communities using a unique dataset spanning 6 months before and up to 5 years after two extreme hurricanes. While abundance and richness recovered within 2 years, species composition continued to shift, indicating ongoing reassembly with a directional trajectory toward ...

Divergent Trends in Insect Disturbance Across Europe's Temperate and Boreal Forests. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Across temperate and boreal Europe, tree mortality caused by insects has risen during the 21st century, yet interactions among insect species and their host trees are complex. While mortality from wood‐boring insects in conifers has increased, defoliation caused by multiple moth species has declined.

Predicting Potential Range Shifts and Molecular Approaches in Four <i>Diolcogaster</i> Ashmead Species (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Microgastrinae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We modeled the global distributions of four Diolcogaster wasp species using MaxEnt and evaluated their ecological niches, phylogenetic relationships, and haplotype diversity. All species showed strong model performance, with D. claritibia exhibiting the broadest and most suitable habitats.

Cleorodes Warren, 1894 does not belong in the tribe Boarmiini (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2007
The geometrid genus Cleorodes is shown to belong in the tribe Gnophini (sensu lato) and not in Boarmiini as previously assumed. The conclusion is based on an analysis of morphological characters of a number of genera in these tribes. Moreover, the result

Phylogenetic evaluation of the taxonomic status of Timandra griseata and T. comae (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Sterrhinae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2005
The sterrhine loopers Timandra griseata and T. comae have been treated as distinct species since 1994. However, morphological differences between the taxa are minor and therefore their status has often been disputed.
