Mixture models unveil the origin of the enigmatic Satyrinae butterfly genera Calisto and Llorenteana (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) Los modelos de mezcla revelan el origen de los enigmáticos géneros de mariposas Satyrinae Calisto y Llorenteana (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
We provide the first reliable hypothesis on the phylogenetic position of Calisto and Llorenteana within the tribe Satyrini, based on genomic data representing all subtribes. We apply for the first time nucleotide mixture models, which overcame the inconsistencies resulting from the use of partitioned models in this and previous studies, obtaining a ...

Pests for Dinner: Dietary Composition of Insectivorous Bats in a Fragmented Tropical Dry Forest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insectivorous bats are key predators of a wide array of arthropods, including species that act as disease vectors and pests, yet such ecological roles remain poorly studied in tropical regions. In this study, we aimed to describe the diet of five insectivorous bat species from the genera Balantiopteryx, Myotis, Mormoops, and Pteronotus inhabiting a ...

Trait‐mediated effects driven by an invasive herbivore alter functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 216-228, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruit traits play a fundamental role in mediating plant‐frugivore interactions, shaping seed dispersal dynamics. Given the complexity of multi‐species interactions, these traits and, consequently, plant‐frugivore interactions can be indirectly influenced by third‐party ...

Salty suitors: High larval sodium intake reduces adult lifespan and influences reproductive behaviour in a lepidopteran herbivore

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 886-898, October 2025.
Low‐sodium females took significantly longer to start mating than high‐sodium females, but no pairings differed in the duration of copulation. Reproductive outputs, measured by number of clutches, hatching young, adult offspring and pupation time, did not differ across parental sodium pairings.

Mangrove Pollinator Functional Diversity Decreases With Patch Size and Landscape Anthropization

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
This study explores how land use changes impact pollinator diversity in mangrove ecosystems, focusing on the effects of patch size and landscape anthropization on pollinators with different functional traits. Results show that smaller mangrove patches can support higher pollinator abundance, richness, and diversity; however, overall pollinator metrics ...

The American cocoa pod borer, Carmenta foraseminis, an emerging pest of cocoa: A review El barrenador americano de la mazorca de cacao, Carmenta foraseminis, una plaga emergente del cacao: una revisión

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 340-356, August 2025.
Abstract This review provides a synthesis of the available knowledge on Carmenta foraseminis, an emerging cocoa pest in northern South America. This moth was first described in 1995 in Panama, and its proliferation across the Amazon basin is currently threatening the production of cocoa in the region and may endanger the sector's sustainability. Hence,

Unexpected soundscape response to insecticide application in oak forests

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract Rachel Carson's warning of a silent spring directed attention to unwanted side effects of pesticide application. Though her work led to policies restricting insecticide use, various insecticides currently in use affect nontarget organisms and may contribute to population declines.

Ocorrência de Brassolis sp. em manguezais à margem do estuário do Rio Apodi-Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte

Revista Verde de Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável, 2017
Manguezais são ecossistemas costeiros e embora os principais fatores de degradação dos manguezais sejam bem conhecidos e documentados, poucos registros tratam da ocorrência de pragas que atacam a vegetação de mangue. As lagartas Brassolis sp.

Discreet but diverse and specific: Determining plant‐herbivore interactions across a species‐rich plant family in a tropical rain forest

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
We conducted a year‐long study in Ecuador's Yasuní National Park, focusing on nine understory Annonaceae species to investigate herbivory patterns and herbivore‐host associations. Our findings revealed significant temporal fluctuations in leaf damage, with Anaxagorea brevipes and Unonopsis veneficiorum experiencing higher herbivore pressure, and ...
