Mitochondrial phylogenomics of the Australian scribbly gum moth Ogmograptis (Lepidoptera: Bucculatricidae) and an examination of deep‐level relationships within Lepidoptera

Austral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 449-463, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Larval feeding by the moth genus Ogmograptis (Bucculatricidae: Lepidoptera) creates one of the most iconic features of the Australian bush—the ‘scribbles’ found on smooth‐barked Eucalyptus. The taxonomic history of Ogmograptis has been challenging, with members of the genus being initially described in four different genera representing three ...

Phylogeny of the Poritiinae (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), butterflies with ant associations and unusual lichenivorous diets

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 422-433, July 2023., 2023
We present a well‐resolved molecular phylogeny of the lycaenid subfamily Poritiinae based on 14 genes from 177 taxa. We confirm the division of the subfamily into two tribes, and divide the Liptenini tribe into six subtribes, including the new subtribe Cooksoniina. The common ancestor of the Poritiini tribe was likely Asian, while that of the Liptenini

Addition to the knowledge on the moth fauna (Insecta: Lepidoptera) of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia

Natura Sloveniae, 2023
Additions to the moth fauna of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia are given. We report on first observations of five species and on reconfirmation of one species after eight decades.

Fine‐scale genome‐wide signature of Pleistocene glaciation in Thitarodes moths (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae), host of Ophiocordyceps fungus in the Hengduan Mountains

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 11, Page 2695-2714, June 2023., 2023
Abstract The Hengduan Mountains region is a biodiversity hotspot known for its topologically complex, deep valleys and high mountains. While landscape and glacial refugia have been evoked to explain patterns of interspecies divergence, the accumulation of intra‐species (i.e., population level) genetic divergence across the mountain‐valley landscape in ...

Using eDNA metabarcoding to understand the effect of fire on the diet of small mammals in a woodland ecosystem

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Information regarding diet changes over time after disturbance is lacking for many animals living in habitats prone to disturbances such as fires. DNA metabarcoding is a versatile molecular method that allows simultaneous characterization of many biotas using taxonomically informative barcode regions.

Uncovering caterpillar fungus (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) consumption patterns and linking them to conservation interventions

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Wildlife trade threatens global taxa. While interest in consumer behavior is increasing, such studies are scarce, particularly for plants and fungi, around questions of consumer characteristics, preferences, and perceptions. Moreover, these factors are not often marshaled to support conservation measures effectively. To address these questions,

Exploring the power of moth samples to reveal community patterns along shallow ecological gradients

Ecological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 371-381, June 2022., 2022
Some functional or taxonomic groups are more likely to reflect environmental variation than others. We analyzed the suitability of e.g., macrolepidoptera, microlepidoptera, small‐sized species, and specialists to mirror variation in vegetation, as well as their susceptibility to weather and inter‐annual fluctuations.

Noctuid and geometrid moth assemblages show divergent elevational gradients in body size and color lightness

Ecography, Volume 44, Issue 8, Page 1169-1179, August 2021., 2021
Previous macroecological studies have suggested that larger and darker insects are favored in cold environments and that the importance of body size and color for the absorption of solar radiation is not limited to diurnal insects. However, whether these effects hold true for local communities and are consistent across taxonomic groups and sampling ...

Adding leaves to the Lepidoptera tree: capturing hundreds of nuclear genes from old museum specimens

Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 649-671, July 2021., 2021
A target enrichment kit and workflow to sequence and process hundreds to thousands of loci for recent and old Lepidoptera specimens is presented. Taxa are added to the Lepidoptera phylogeny based on museum specimens collected between 1892 and 2017. Lepidoptera systematic relationships are discussed.
