Review of larval food plant associations of the Agaristinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract The Australian Agaristinae comprises a small group of predominantly diurnal moths with aposematic larvae and adults that are assumed to be unpalatable to most predators. A critical review of the larval food plants of this subfamily based on published records in the literature, together with unpublished records, is presented.

Tuta absoluta's population genetic structure across Africa: Two well‐delineated but weakly differentiated groups suggesting few introductions and significant gene flow Structure génétique des populations de Tuta absoluta à travers l'Afrique: deux groupes bien délimités mais faiblement différenciés suggérent peu d'introductions et un flux génétique important

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 223-240, May 2025.
Abstract Describing the genetic structure and diversity of invasive insect pest populations is essential to better understand a species' invasion history and success throughout its distribution range. Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) is a destructive pest of tomato and many other solanaceous crops, with very high economic impacts. Its

Revealing hidden sources of uncertainty in biodiversity trend assessments

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.
Idiosyncratic decisions during the biodiversity trend assessment process may limit reproducibility, whilst ‘hidden' uncertainty due to collection bias, taxonomic incompleteness, and variable taxonomic resolution may limit the reliability of reported trends.

Conservation status of Erebia palarica Chapman, 1905 (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae): Local insight and whole distribution perspective

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 370-385, May 2025.
Mark‐release‐recapture data of E. palarica reveals low dispersal rates (<500 m) and small census population sizes (Nc = 303 and 565) in two localities from Serra do Courel (NW Spain). Microsatellite genotypes of four generations (1999–2021) from the population of Alto do Couto, in Serra do Courel, reveal a small effective population size (Ne < 100). E.

Around the World in 26 Million Years: Diversification and Biogeography of Pantropical Grass‐Yellow Eurema Butterflies (Pieridae: Coliadinae)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Grass‐yellow butterflies (Eurema) are a group of pantropical Pieridae distributed throughout Asia, Australasia, Africa and the New World. However, little is known about their diversification, including the biogeographic mechanism(s) explaining their circumglobal distribution.

Variation in male genitalia of <i>Coleophora vacciniella</i> H.-S. (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae)

Entomologica Fennica, 1997
We studied 105 genitalia of mostly Finnish male Coleophora vacciniella Herrich-Schäffer, 1861, in order to inspect the variation in certain features: the number of chitinous teeth on the dorsal side of the phallotheca, the number of spines at the distal end of it, and the number of cornuti in the vesica.

Chemical ecology of symbioses in cycads, an ancient plant lineage

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 1494-1504, May 2025.
Summary Cycads are an ancient lineage of gymnosperms that maintain a plethora of symbiotic associations from across the tree of life. They have myriad morphological, structural, physiological, chemical, and behavioral adaptations that position them as a unique system to study the evolution, ecology, and mechanism of symbiosis.
