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.

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.
