The Circadian Clock in Lepidoptera
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 With approximately 160,000 identified species of butterflies and moths, Lepidoptera are among the most species-rich and diverse insect orders. Lepidopteran insects have fundamental ecosystem functions as pollinators and valuable food sources for ...

Few keystone plant genera support the majority of Lepidoptera species
Nature Communications, 2020 Not all plants are equally able to support native insects. Here, the authors use data on interactions among >12,000 Lepidoptera species and >2000 plant genera across the United States, showing that few plant genera host the majority of Lepidoptera ...

Diversity, duplication, and genomic organization of homeobox genes in Lepidoptera
Genome Research, 2022 Homeobox genes encode transcription factors with essential roles in patterning and cell fate in developing animal embryos. Many homeobox genes, including Hox and NK genes, are arranged in gene clusters, a feature likely related to transcriptional control.

Combining range and phenology shifts offers a winning strategy for boreal Lepidoptera.
Ecology Letters, 2021 Species can adapt to climate change by adjusting in situ or by dispersing to new areas, and these strategies may complement or enhance each other. Here, we investigate temporal shifts in phenology and spatial shifts in northern range boundaries for 289 ...

The Effect of Temperature on the Development of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Insects, 2020 The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a pest of tropical origin which recently invaded Africa, the Far East and Australia. Temperature, therefore, plays an important role in its invasion biology, since this pest does not go into diapause.
