Ancient expansion of the hox cluster in lepidoptera generated four homeobox genes implicated in extra-embryonic tissue formation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2014
Gene duplications within the conserved Hox cluster are rare in animal evolution, but in Lepidoptera an array of divergent Hox-related genes (Shx genes) has been reported between pb and zen.

Edible Lepidoptera in Mexico: Geographic distribution, ethnicity, economic and nutritional importance for rural people

open access: yesJournal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2011
In this paper, we reported the butterflies and moths that are consumed in Mexico. We identified 67 species of Lepidoptera that are eaten principally in their larval stage in 17 states of Mexico. These species belong to 16 families: Arctiidae, Bombycidae,

Triodia laetus (Staudinger, 1877) – new species of ghost moths (Lepidoptera, Hepialidae) for the fauna of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan

open access: yesActa Biologica Sibirica
A poorly-known Hepialidae species Triodia laetus (Staudinger, 1877) is reported from the territory of Russia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan for the first time. The new locations proved its wide distribution in the Caucasus and Transcaucasia.

Wingtip Speed of the Lift‐Generating Downstroke in Lepidoptera During Takeoff Depends on Wing Loading

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
We measured wingtip speed, as an indicator of angular velocity, during the single downstroke that lifts butterflies and moths from the ground to flight. High‐speed analysis captured 745 takeoff events across 131 lepidopteran species. Wingtip speed showed no correlation with forewing length, a proxy for the Reynolds number and wingtip speed. In contrast,
