Phylogenetic relationships of selected European Ennominae (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2011 This study reports the results of a molecular phylogenetic analysis of thirty three species of Ennominae (Lepidoptera: Geometridae). The aim of this analysis was to determine the phylogenetic affinities of 13 European species not previously studied using

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.

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

Supplemental feeding as experimental tool to understand why birds do not lay earlier in the season
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.The timing of avian reproduction might be affected by the costs of egg production in early spring. To study these costs, supplemental feeding experiments have been conducted where birds are provided with food prior to egg laying. We discuss the opportunities and pitfalls of such experiments.

Predictors of Wing Attacks by Birds Across Australian Butterflies
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Predation pressure can vary latitudinally and across different prey communities as well as between males and females of the same prey species. Here, the variation in predation pressure on Australian butterflies was assessed using wing damage caused by bird attacks in over 2310 individuals from five butterfly families.

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Lepidoptera have long been known to feed on the tears of vertebrates as a presumed source of minerals or nutrients. While this unusual behavior has been observed in a variety of species, only a single previous record has been documented outside of the tropics. Here, we present the first documentation of moths visiting the eyes of a bull moose (

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.Abstract The large genus Campylocheta Rondani, 1859, comprising 48 species, occurs in all major biogeographical regions of the world, except Antarctica. Homohypochaeta Townsend, 1927 and Hypochaetopsis Townsend, 1915 are two Neotropical genera similar to Campylocheta, with only two and one species respectively.

The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1163-1174, November 2025.We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...
