Metabarcoding Reveals the Dietary Patterns of Bats Within a Unique European Habitat, the Pasture‐Dominated Landscapes of Ireland

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We investigated the diets of two common insectivorous bat species, Plecotus auritus and Pipistrellus pygmaeus, across the pastureland‐dominated landscape of Ireland. Using metabarcoding and next‐generation sequencing, we analysed 4627 faecal samples collected over three years from twelve maternity roosts during gestation, lactation, and post‐lactation ...

Expansion of the winter moth outbreak range : no restrictive effects of competition with the resident autumnal moth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
1. Both direct and indirect competition can have profound effects on species abundance and expansion rates, especially for a species trying to strengthen a foothold in new areas, such as the winter moth (Operophtera brumata) currently in northernmost ...

Can Hawaiian carnivorous caterpillars attack invasive ants or vice versa? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Hawaiian Islands have allowed insects to evolve unique habits, because the islands are isolated and originally lacked predators, such as ants and wasps.

International Biological Flora: Tsuga canadensis*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 10, Page 3037-3080, October 2025.
Eastern Hemlock is a long‐lived forest tree of eastern North America known for its deep shade and home given to many organisms. Despite surviving large‐scale clearing for agriculture when Europeans arrived, it returned to dominate when the land was abandoned in the mid 1800s.

Larval crowding leads to unusual reaction norms for size and time at maturity in a geometrid moth (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2012
The theory of life history evolution generally predicts a negative across-environment correlation between development time and size at maturity in response to variations in environmental quality.

List of the Lepidoptera of Black Sturgeon Lake, Northwestern Ontario, and Dates of Adult Occurrence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
From May to September each year from 1960 through 1968, a collection of Lepidoptera was made at Black Sturgeon Lake, northwestern Ontario, from speci­ mens captured in a light trap and from specimens netted during the day.

Quantifying Phenology in the Deciduous Tree and Phytophagous Insect System: A Methodological Comparison

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Our study investigates the methodological and biological relationships between phenological metrics, measured by different field methods, of primary producers (deciduous trees) and primary consumers (Lepidopteran larvae) that depend on synchronous spring timing.

Foliar herbivory pushes plant individuals towards the periphery of a plant–floral visitor interaction network

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2414-2428, September 2025.
The authors demonstrate how the effects of herbivory on a key plant trait can cascade to shape the interactions between individual plants and their flower visitors and how the indirect effects between herbivores and pollinators can modulate the structure of interaction networks in terrestrial ecosystems.

Development of Pheromone‐Based Mating Disruption for Three Lepidopteran Pests of Currant in Northern Europe

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 8, Page 1227-1236, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Currant, and in particular blackcurrant, Ribes nigrum, is widely grown in Europe. It is the host of a number of pest insects, but their occurrence and the damage they cause vary geographically. In northern Europe, three lepidopteran species, the currant shoot borer (Lampronia capitella), the currant clearwing (Synanthedon tipuliformis), and ...
