A Numerical Analysis of Dynamic Flight Stability of Hawkmoth Hovering
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2009 A numerical analysis of dynamic flight stability of a hovering hawkmoth is presented. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method is used to simulate the unsteady flow about a realistic hawkmoth model and to compute the aerodynamic derivatives of the ...

The genome sequence of the Pine Hawkmoth, Sphinx pinastri (Linneaus 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open Research, 2023 We present a genome assembly from an individual male Sphinx pinastri (the Pine Hawkmoth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Sphingidae). The genome sequence is 509.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules,

Geographical and temporal distribution of hawkmoth (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) species in Africa [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021 Hawkmoths consist of species where most adults are nocturnal, but there are some day-flying genera. Hawkmoth species have a wide variety of life-history traits, comprising species with adults (mostly nectarivorous though with some exceptions, honey ...

Rational Design of a Novel Hawkmoth Pollinator Interaction in Mimulus Section Erythranthe
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Diversification of the ca. 275,000 extant flowering plant species has been driven in large part by coevolution with animal pollinators. A recurring pattern of pollinator shifts from hummingbird to hawkmoth pollination has characterized plant speciation ...

Taxonomic description and pollination ecology of Cyrtorchis okuensis (Orchidaceae, Angraecinae), a new species endemic to the Cameroon Volcanic Line [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background and aims – A recent taxonomic and molecular study of the genus Cyrtorchis revealed three new species. Here, we describe one of these new species, endemic to the Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL), and compare it to its closest relatives.

Two new native larval host plants of Hyles annei (Guérin-Méneville, 1839) (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile following exceptional summer rainfall [PDF]
Nota Lepidopterologica, 2019 Adults of the little-known Neotropical hawkmoth, Hyles annei (Guérin-Méneville, 1839) (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae: Macroglossinae: Macroglossini), were reared from larvae collected on Allionia incarnata L. (Nyctaginaceae) and Fagonia chilensis Hook.
