Panmixia in a Widespread Butterfly: High Dispersal and Ecological Generalism Buffer Against Landscape Fragmentation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The study examined the genetic structure of Pieris rapae across western Germany and found no genetic differentiation or isolation by distance. Fragmented agricultural landscapes did not reduce genetic connectivity compared to more heterogeneous systems, indicating near‐panmixia across the region.

The lock-and-key mechanisms of the internal genitalia of the Noctuidae (Lepidoptera): How are they selected for? [PDF]

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
In the Noctuidae, the owlet moths, the internal genitalia, i.e. the aedeagus and vesica (penis) in the males, and the bursa copulatrix in the females, together form a lock-and-key mechanism (LKM). The species-specific structures have their counterparts in the opposite sex.

Phenology, Mating Behaviour, and Ecology of a Wild New Zealand Nurseryweb Spider (Dolomedes minor)

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Population dynamics are key to the understanding of mating systems, and in particular, sex ratios provide an insight into the evolutionary pressures governing a mating system. Variation in sex ratios can influence mate competition, parental investment strategies, and ultimately shape mating rates and the reproductive success of individuals within a ...

Morphology and molecules reveal unexpected cryptic diversity in the enigmatic genus Sinobirma Bryk, 1944 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) [PDF]

, 2012
The wild silkmoth genus Sinobirma Bryk, 1944 is a poorly known monotypic taxon from the eastern end of the Himalaya Range. It was convincingly proposed to be closely related to some members of an exclusively Afro-tropical group of Saturniidae, but its ...
