Understanding the effects of patch‐burn grazing management on aboveground grassland invertebrate biodiversity

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Landscape heterogeneity is widely recognized as a driver of biodiversity, yet its consequences for above‐ground, foliage‐dwelling insect communities under active grassland management remain underexplored. Patch‐burn grazing (PBG), which rotates fire across patches within a grazed landscape, is designed to promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity by ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Lerema accius and its phylogenetic implications [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
Butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) are becoming model organisms for genetics and evolutionary biology. Decoding the Lepidoptera genomes, both nuclear and mitochondrial, is an essential step in these studies.

Road air pollution harms the reproductive success of a bee‐pollinated wildflower: A dusty threat to biodiversity

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Dust, a common form of air pollution, is particularly problematic on roadsides, which are important habitats for plants and pollinators. We investigated whether and how road dust affects plant sexual reproduction using Primula chungensis in a biodiversity hotspot. Our study provides compelling evidence that road dust can harm plant reproductive success

The complete mitochondrial genome of Orthaga achatina (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Orthaga achatina Butler is an important pest of camphor trees in Asia. The complete mitochondrial genome of O. achatina was sequenced in this study, which was 15,150 bp in size and comprised of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal ...

Chitosan‐protected dsRNA increases efficacy against Helicoverpa armigera without compromising biosafety for pollinators

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Chitosan/tripolyphosphate/double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) nanoparticles enhance RNA interference efficacy of orally delivered dsRNA against Helicoverpa armigera. Nanoparticles reduce the LC50 and do not cause deleterious effects or toxicity on beneficial insects.

Low host specificity and abundance of frugivorous lepidoptera in the lowland rain forests of Papua New Guinea.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
We studied a community of frugivorous Lepidoptera in the lowland rainforest of Papua New Guinea. Rearing revealed 122 species represented by 1,720 individuals from 326 woody plant species.

Uncovering the hidden players in Lepidoptera biology: the heritable microbial endosymbionts [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
The Lepidoptera is one of the most widespread and recognisable insect orders. Due to their remarkable diversity, economic and ecological importance, moths and butterflies have been studied extensively over the last 200 years.

Leaf penetration by endophytic Metarhizium brunneum enables infection of Phthorimaea absoluta in tomato mines while inducing the crop defense system

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Spraying Metarhizium brunneum on tomato plants controls heterogeneous and upcoming Phthorimaea absoluta populations by infecting larvae within mines and priming plant induced systemic defences. Abstract BACKGROUND The endophytic entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum Petch EAMa 01/58‐Su shows strong potential for managing Phthorimaea absoluta, a ...

The complete mitochondrial genomes of two ghost moths, Thitarodes renzhiensis and Thitarodes yunnanensis: the ancestral gene arrangement in Lepidoptera

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2012
Background Lepidoptera encompasses more than 160,000 described species that have been classified into 45–48 superfamilies. The previously determined Lepidoptera mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are limited to six superfamilies of the lineage Ditrysia.
