Sphingid caterpillars conspicuous patches do not function as distractive marks or warning against predators

open access: yesEcology 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)

open access: yesSystematic 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 ...

Pest categorisation of Monema flavescens. [PDF]

open access: yesEFSA J
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Monema flavescens (Lepidoptera, Limacodidae), following the commodity risk assessment of Acer palmatum plants grafted on A. davidii from China, in which M. flavescens was identified as a pest of possible concern to the European Union.

The mitochondrial genomes of the Geometroidea (Lepidoptera) and their phylogenetic implications

open access: yesEcology 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.

Landscape woody features, local management and vegetation composition shape moth communities in extensively managed grasslands

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 15, Issue 6, Page 739-751, November 2022., 2022
Macro‐ and micromoths were sampled in 47 extensively managed meadows located in a Swiss lowland region of high‐intensity agriculture. Altogether, results demonstrate that the preservation of integral moth communities within cultivated landscapes necessitates hedgerows and forest patches in complementation to grasslands that are extensively managed ...

Description of the pupal case of Systropus (Systropus) nitidus Wiedemann, 1830 (Diptera, Bombyliidae, Toxophorinae, Systropodini)

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2009
The pupal case of Systropus (Systropus) nitidus Wiedemann reared from an unidentified tipical Limacodidae (Lepidoptera) cocoon is described and illustrated for the first time. Only species of Limacodidae are recorded as host of the immature stages of S. (

Variation in Lepidopteran Occurrence in Hemlock-Dominated and Deciduous-Dominated Forests of Central Appalachia [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Commodity risk assessment of Acer palmatum plants grafted on Acer davidii from China

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by 2‐year‐old bare rooted plants for planting of ...

Laboratory rearing of Sycanus annulicornis (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) on two species of prey: Differences in its biology and efficiency as a predator of the nettle caterpillar pest Setothosea asigna (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae)

open access: yesEuropean 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.
