Growth and development in a lepidopteran with variable instar number, Pseudocoremia suavis (Geometridae), under standard rearing conditions and when parasitised by Meteorus pulchricornis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
Though extra instars are often associated with poor conditions and thought to be a compensation for a low growth rate, the reasons why they are necessary, and for variable instar number existing under standard rearing conditions, are not yet clear.

Rapid construction of insect–plant interaction networks via multiplexed long‐fragment DNA metabarcoding and NGS

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1896-1909, June 2026.
Abstract Molecular identification of insect food webs can accurately reveal complex trophic interactions and serve as a foundation for understanding ecosystem functioning and advancing biodiversity conservation. This process typically involves DNA library construction, high‐throughput sequencing and subsequent steps, including data assembly, annotation,

Effect of host species on larval growth differs between instars: The case of a geometrid moth (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2013
Although the effects of host plant quality on the performance of polyphagous herbivores are largely uniform across insect taxa, there are various exceptions to this rule.

Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3613-3630, June 2026.
Summary Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in evolutionary research on the long‐standing model system Silene, a large genus with a well‐resolved phylogeny and newly available, expanded genomic ...

Fire modulates the structural drivers and functioning of individual‐based plant‐pollinator networks

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Ecological drivers that shape (positively or negatively) the plant‐pollinator network and determine plant fitness, both before and after a fire. Abstract Fire is a natural phenomenon that shapes ecosystems, but climate change and human activities have increased its frequency and magnitude, disrupting essential ecosystem services like pollination ...

Morphological analyses of two gynandromorphy individuals of Geometridae (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

open access: yesSHILAP Revista de lepidopterología
In this study, gynandromorphs individuals of Gnopharmia cholcidaria (Lederer, 1870) and Idea adeversaria (Linnaeus, 1758) from Turkey were observed morphologically, compared to each other and normal individuals. Idea adevarsaria shows female characteristics in external morphology.

Effect of bulb type on moth trap catch and composition in UK gardens

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 484-497, May 2026.
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.

Do camera light traps for moths provide similar data as conventional funnel light traps?

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 498-510, May 2026.
We recorded moths using a traditional collection method (funnel light traps, FLTs) and compared them with records made using automated camera light traps (CLTs). In direct comparison, the recorded moth species richness was similar, but the CLTs were able to leverage their advantages over longer periods of time and recorded more species.
