Comparative Analysis of Lepidopteran Community Structure Using DNA Metabarcoding: Warm-Temperate Forest Versus Grass-Shrub Ecotones in Pangquangou National Nature Reserve. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study confirms that the method based on DNA metabarcoding qualifies as a cost‐efficient alternative to traditional approaches, as well as a better understanding for future assessment of insect diversity. ABSTRACT Lepidoptera is a widely geographically distributed insect order that plays crucial ecological roles in forest and grass‐shrub ecosystems

Phenological shifts and increases in voltinism within a moth community over a century of anthropogenic change. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract In temperate ecosystems, warming temperatures can advance spring phenology, extend autumn phenology, disrupt dormancy regulation, result in phenological mismatch across taxa, and even lead to increases in the number of generations per year (i.e., increases in voltinism).

The complete mitochondrial genome of Dendrolimus kikuchii (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 As a serious forest pest on coniferous trees, Dendrolimus kikuchii has caused widespread concern in China. Here, its complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has been sequenced with 15,382 bp in length. The mitogenome has a base composition of A (40.87%

Long-term population dynamics of western tent caterpillars: History, trends and causes of cycles. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe length and in‐depth nature of this population study make it unique. It represents perhaps the most extensive monitoring of viral infection in a wild insect population. We have used laboratory and field experiments to test many hypotheses about mechanisms that potentially impact the dynamics of this cyclic species.
