Sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Endoclita minanus Yang (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae)

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2023
In this study, we explored the taxonomic status of Endoclita minanus Yang in Hepialidae based on the mitochondrial genome level. The complete mitochondrial genome of Endoclita minanus was sequenced by using Illumina MiSeq sequencing platform, and its ...

Metabarcoding Reveals the Dietary Patterns of Bats Within a Unique European Habitat, the Pasture-Dominated Landscapes of Ireland. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
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 ...

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.

Human land‐use changes the diets of sympatric native and invasive mammal species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
We simultaneously study the diet of nine native and two invasive mammal species inhabiting three different anthropogenic land‐uses across six bioclimatic regions using environmental DNA and stable isotope analysis. We show that land‐use influences the trophic relationships in invaded communities.

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

Combining Time-Stamped Insect Sampling With eDNA-Metabarcoding of Guano to Reconstruct Community Interactions. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
ABSTRACT Understanding the temporal dynamics of predator–prey interactions is the basis for predicting behavioral responses to climate or other environmental changes. Bats, as generalist apex predators, can provide a holistic view on ecosystem health, because their diet integrates signals from diverse insect communities and rapidly reflects ...

Ghost W chromosomes and unique genome architecture in ghost moths of the family Hepialidae

bioRxiv, 2023
The classical model of sex chromosome evolution has been recently challenged in moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera). According to the current hypothesis, the adoption of a supernumerary chromosome may have driven the transition from the Z0 to the WZ sex ...

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.
