Using eDNA metabarcoding to understand the effect of fire on the diet of small mammals in a woodland ecosystem. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Information regarding diet changes over time after disturbance is lacking for many animals living in habitats prone to disturbances such as fires. DNA metabarcoding is a versatile molecular method that allows simultaneous characterization of many biotas using taxonomically informative barcode regions.

Austral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 449-463, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Larval feeding by the moth genus Ogmograptis (Bucculatricidae: Lepidoptera) creates one of the most iconic features of the Australian bush—the ‘scribbles’ found on smooth‐barked Eucalyptus. The taxonomic history of Ogmograptis has been challenging, with members of the genus being initially described in four different genera representing three ...

Maintaining understory vegetation in oil palm plantations supports higher assassin bug numbers
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 4, Issue 4, October–December 2023., 2023 Reduced understory vegetation complexity in oil palm plantations leads to a significant drop off in numbers of assassin bugs, which are major pest control agents within the system. This suggests that maintaining understory vegetation in oil palm has the potential to boost both biodiversity and pest control.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 We used the artificial prey technique to test the distractive marks hypothesis and warning hypothesis using the Pandora sphinx caterpillar as a model. Arthropod predators showed significantly higher attack rates on green colored prey models than red but only a tendency of higher attack on solid (non‐patch patterned) prey models, whereas vertebrates ...

Evolutionary history of Euteliidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea)
Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 445-462, July 2023., 2023 We elucidated evolutionary relationships of Euteliidae. The divergence time estimated Euteliidae ancestors originated about 53 Ma. Malpighiales are inferred to be ancestral larval hostplant order for Euteliidae. Abstract We performed a molecular phylogenetic analysis on the family Euteliidae to clarify deep divergences and elucidate evolutionary ...

The mitochondrial genomes of the Geometroidea (Lepidoptera) and their phylogenetic implications
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 In this study, we determined nine mitochondrial genomes for the Geometridae for the first time. A tRNA gene rearrangement was recognized in S. indicataria, which represents the first gene rearrangement reported for Geometroidea and is also unique in Lepidoptera.

Variation in Lepidopteran Occurrence in Hemlock-Dominated and Deciduous-Dominated Forests of Central Appalachia [PDF]
, 2018 Eastern hemlock, (Tsuga canadensis Carrière, Pinaceae), is threatened with extirpation by an exotic invasive herbivore, the hemlock woolly adelgid, (Adelges tsugae Annand, Homoptera: Adelgidae). Given this threat, a broader and more detailed knowledge of

European Journal of Entomology, 2018 Setothosea asigna van Eecke is a dominant defoliator pest in oil palm plantations. To control this pest, a generalist predatory bug, Sycanus annulicornis Dohrn, was used as it is easy to rear on several different species of prey.
