Predicting sex bias in mobility from functional traits in flying insects
Understanding the movement patterns of organisms is crucial for effective biodiversity conservation in the increasingly dynamic and fragmented landscapes. Since the colonization of habitat patches relies largely on females, sex differences in movement capability must also be considered.

Taxonomical characters of Selidosema plumarium and S. brunnearium (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Ennominae) and the function of the internal genitalia during copulation [PDF]
The genitalia of the Palaearctic species pair, Selidosema plumarium (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) and S. brunnearium (Villers, 1789), are described and illustrated.

A robust time‐calibrated tree for the mega diverse Geometridae family. Historical biogeography suggest a New World origin for Geometridae, probably Neotropics. Different biogeographical and evolutionary histories are recovered in different biogeographical regions. Abstract A long‐standing question in evolutionary biology is how historical biogeographic

Horisme exoletata (Herrich-Schäffer, 1838) in southern Italy and description of its larva (Geometridae, Larentiinae) [PDF]
We report Horisme exoletata (Herrich-Schäffer, 1838) for the first time in Continental Europe: Italy, Calabria. This is a species previously considered endemic to Sicily and Malta, and an addition to the shared fauna of the Calabria and Sicily regions ...

On the origin of geometrid moths: the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy [PDF]
Geometrid moths represent one of the largest radiations of Lepidoptera. Phylogenetic analyses based on morphological and molecular data supports the monophyly of this group of moths.

Using molecular phylogenetics, morphological traits, and life histories, we explored the evolution of high‐altitude adaptations of Gnophini moths in the European Alps. Female flightlessness has evolved at least twice independently, shifts from ancestral nocturnality to diurnality have evolved at least three times, and strikingly, two Sciadia species ...

New Records of Seven Eupithecia (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) from Korea
The genus Eupithecia Curtis is the largest taxon in Lepidoptera (more than 1,500 species worldwide) and the adults of the genus are characterized by small in size, cryptically colored grayish and brownish forewing, and indistinct basal, ante- and ...

We produce diagnostic images of lepidopteran wing venation and genitalia from micro‐CT scans using a novel rendering protocol leaving the dried and pinned target specimens intact. We discuss the virtues of micro‐CT imaging compared with traditional dissection methods suggesting further development of this methodology. We describe Chloecolora vergetaria

Review of the endemic New Zealand genus Arctesthes Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Larentiinae), with descriptions of two new range-restricted species [PDF]
The genus Arctesthes Meyrick (Geometridae: Larentiinae: Xanthorhoini), endemic to the South Island of New Zealand, is revised. Four species are recognised, including two new species, as follows: Arctesthes catapyrrha (Butler, 1877), A.
