Allometry of male genitalia in a lepidopteran species, Ostrinia latipennis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

Applied Entomology and Zoology, 2003
In species of several insect orders and spiders, it has been shown that the size of male genitalia relative to body size decreases as the body becomes larger (negative allometry), while the relative size of other morphological traits tends to be constant.

Trans‐Atlantic Dispersal and Introgression Explain Holarctic Disjunct Distributions in Vanessa Butterflies

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 11, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Species with disjunct distributions have long puzzled evolutionary biologists and biogeographers. Long‐distance dispersal can play a pivotal role in generating intra‐specific disjunct distributions, initiating early stages of allopatric speciation and leading to eventual interspecific disjunctions.

Insights From a New 1‐ha Permanent Forest Plot Reveal Differences Between Habitat Type and Similarities Between Forest Type in the Southwestern Amazon

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Southwestern Amazon forests are highly diverse, but information on how tree diversity and composition changes between habitat and forest types remains scarce. We conducted floristic analyses to investigate these changes across a precipitation gradient, between habitat types, and between disturbed and old‐growth forest.

An illustrated guide to the identification of the known species of Diatraea Guilding (Lepidoptera, Crambidae, Crambinae) based on genitalia [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2016
The genus Diatraea Guilding is one of the most economically important groups of moths in the Western Hemisphere. The larvae are stem borers that feed on species of Poaceae, or grasses, such as sugarcane, corn, rice, and sorghum, as well as many other native grasses.

Non‐native congeneric trees are poor‐quality host plants for a larval Lepidopteran

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract In managed ecosystems, cultivated plant diversity is a collection of native and introduced species composed of varying plant origins across scales: locally native, non‐locally native, and non‐native. Non‐local and non‐native plant species may be ill‐suited as host plants for locally native insects.
