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,

Cossid moths (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) as pests of woody plants – A review

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 512-531, November 2025.
Abstract The Cossidae is a worldwide family of macro‐moths popularly known as carpenter moths due to the larval habit of boring in the wood of living plants. This review compiles current knowledge on the characteristics, diversity and bionomy of cossid moths as well as the damage they cause on woody plants.

Haplotype Diversity of NADPH-Cytochrome P450 Reductase Gene of Ophiocordyceps sinensis and the Effect on Fungal Infection in Host Insects

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Ophiocordyceps sinensis Berk. is a fungal parasite that parasitizes the larvae of Hepialidae and is used as a traditional Chinese medicine. However, it is not clear how O. sinensis infects its host.

Future Habitat Shifts and Economic Implications for Ophiocordyceps sinensis Under Climate Change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Ophiocordyceps sinensis, a key traditional medicine from the Tibetan Plateau, is losing habitat due to overharvesting and climate change. This study shows that China, producing 91.9% of the global supply, will see suitable habitats shift to higher altitudes.

Species traits to guide moth conservation in anthropogenic regions: A multi‐species approach using distribution trends in Flanders (northern Belgium)

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1016-1032, November 2024.
By applying Multi‐Species Change Indices to over 1.8 million citizen scientist observations from 1980 to 2022, we assessed the distributional changes of macro‐moths in Flanders (northern Belgium)—a highly anthropogenic region in Northwest Europe—by linking temporal trends to 10 key ecological and life history traits.
