Stress Responses of Small Heat Shock Protein Genes in Lepidoptera Point to Limited Conservation of Function across Phylogeny. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The small heat shock protein (sHsp) family is thought to play an important role in protein refolding and signal transduction, and thereby protect organisms from stress. However little is known about sHsp function and conservation across phylogenies.

Comparative genomics reveals the dynamics of chromosome evolution in Lepidoptera
Nature Ecology & EvolutionChromosomes are a central unit of genome organization. One-tenth of all described species on Earth are butterflies and moths, the Lepidoptera, which generally possess 31 chromosomes.

Advances and Challenges of Using the Sterile Insect Technique for the Management of Pest Lepidoptera
Insects, 2019 Over the past 30 years, the sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a regular component of area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programs against several major agricultural pests and vectors of severe diseases.

Climate signals are reflected in an 89 year series of British Lepidoptera records
European Journal of Entomology, 2007 Historical data sources on abundance of organisms are valuable for determining responses of those organisms to climate change and coincidence of changes amongst different organisms.

Nature Communications, 2017 Insects detect their hosts or mates primarily through olfaction, and olfactory receptors (ORs) are at the core of odorant detection. Each species has evolved a unique repertoire of ORs whose functional properties are expected to meet its ecological needs,
