Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta-analysis in insects. [PDF]

open access: yesEvol Lett, 2022
Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Effects of Climate Warming on the Performance of Gynaephora alpherakii (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) Larvae in a Tibetan Alpine Meadow. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Warming significantly increased caterpillar feeding time. Warming significantly decreased caterpillar body size. The behavioral adaptations failed to compensate for the physiological‐induced weight loss. ABSTRACT The performance of invertebrate herbivores in grasslands can be influenced by climate warming, but there is a lack of experimental evidence ...

Evidence of biotic resistance to exotic plant invasion in degraded Bornean forests

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 767-778, July 2023., 2023
We found that herbivory on invasive Clidemia hirta plants increased when closer to native related plants (Melastoma app.), and in more shaded locations, and was associated with fewer reproductive organs on C. hirta. This suggests host‐sharing by specialist Melastomataceae herbivores is occurring and may explain why invasion success of C. hirta is lower

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 ...
