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.

Phenological shifts and increases in voltinism within a moth community over a century of anthropogenic change. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract In temperate ecosystems, warming temperatures can advance spring phenology, extend autumn phenology, disrupt dormancy regulation, result in phenological mismatch across taxa, and even lead to increases in the number of generations per year (i.e., increases in voltinism).

Mitochondrial phylogenomics of the Australian scribbly gum moth Ogmograptis (Lepidoptera: Bucculatricidae) and an examination of deep‐level relationships within Lepidoptera

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.

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

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 ...

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

Papéis 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. (
