Evaluating eDNA Metabarcoding Techniques for Pollinator Community Assessment in a Field and Controlled Experiment

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
This study evaluates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding on flowers to detect pollinator species and compares it with traditional visual sampling methods. Findings show that while eDNA complements conventional techniques in monitoring pollinators, it cannot fully replace them, highlighting the need for integrated approaches.

Larval parasitism of the autumnal moth reduces feeding intensity on the mountain birch [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Plants respond to grazing by herbivorous insects by emitting a range of volatile organic compounds, which attract parasitoids to their insect hosts. However, a positive outcome for the host plant is a necessary precondition for making the attraction ...

The effect of herb layer on nocturnal macrolepidoptera (lepidoptera: Macroheterocera) communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Vegetation beneath the canopy might be an important factor for macromoth community composition in forest ecosystems, strongly determined by forest management practices.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Settling moths as potential pollinators of Uncaria rhynchophylla (Rubiaceae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2016
Nocturnal pollinators such as moths have received less attention than diurnal insects. To elucidate whether nocturnal moths are important pollinators, we observed both the diurnal and nocturnal visitors to the flowers of Uncaria rhynchophylla (Rubiaceae)

Cross‐continental variation of herbivore resistance in a global plant invader

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
While successful plant invasions often occur in novel environments, invasive species usually occupy broad niches within their native and introduced ranges. A better understanding of the process of invasion therefore requires a wide sampling of ranges, and a good knowledge of introduction history.

Identification of winter moth (Operophtera brumata) refugia in North Africa and the Italian Peninsula during the last glacial maximum

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Numerous studies have shown that the genetic diversity of species inhabiting temperate regions has been shaped by changes in their distributions during the Quaternary climatic oscillations.

Molecular phylogeny of the genus Lythria and description of the male genitalia of L. venustata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Sterrhinae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2009
We present a molecular phylogeny incorporating all five species of the Palaearctic geometrid genus Lythria, based on a 2810-bp combined data matrix comprising the full sequence of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit one (COI) and fragments ...

Large larvae of a flush-feeding moth (Epirrita autumnata, Lepidoptera: Geometridae) are not at a higher risk of parasitism: implications for the moth's life-history

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2001
The effect of larval body size of Epirrita autumnata (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) on the risk of parasitism was studied in a field experiment. The experiment involved three pairwise exposures of different larval instars to parasitoids.
