Nocturnal Lepidopterans as Essential Pollinators of Aspidosperma pyrifolium (Apocynaceae), a Keystone Tree in the Caatinga Dry Forest

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pollination is a key ecosystem service, yet most studies focus on diurnal interactions, often overlooking nocturnal pollinators such as hawkmoths and settling moths. In arid environments, nocturnal pollination plays a crucial role in maintaining native plant species of high biocultural value, as seen in the Caatinga dry forest.

Is Nocturnal Pollination Important for Crop Production? Experimental Evidence From Small Fruit Crops

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 147-157, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect‐mediated pollination is essential for crop production but is mainly studied considering diurnal pollinators only. Here, we use pollinator exclusion techniques to prevent either diurnal or nocturnal insect visits in small fruit crops: raspberry (Rubus idaeus), over 1 year, and red currant (Ribes rubrum) and black currant (Ribes nigrum ...

Geographic Divergence and the Genomic Basis of Reproductive Diapause in Drosophila triauraria

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 3, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Adjusting reproduction timing to environmental cues is essential for lifetime fitness. In many insects, reproductive diapause shows clinal variation along environmental gradients such as photoperiod and temperature. How such continuous trait variation may be encoded at the molecular level and maintained in the presence of gene flow remains ...
