Identification and characterization of a Masculinizer homologue in the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. [PDF]
Insect Mol Biol, 2020 We have identified a Masculinizer homologue (PxyMasc) in the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. As in Bombyx mori, this gene controls doublesex splicing and male viability suggesting deep conservation of this sex‐determination mechanism. PxyMasc functions early (3–6 h) in embryonic development to initiate male‐form doublesex splicing, but its ...

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 ...

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 ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 531-550, October 2022., 2022 Phylogenomics has helped us resolve much of the Lepidoptera tree of life, but the relationships among the superfamilies within Ditrysia, containing 98% of the order's species richness, remain unresolved. One of the unresolved questions is the phylogenetic position of the large microlepidopteran superfamily Gelechioidea, whose placement depends on the ...

Exploring the power of moth samples to reveal community patterns along shallow ecological gradients
Ecological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 371-381, June 2022., 2022 Some functional or taxonomic groups are more likely to reflect environmental variation than others. We analyzed the suitability of e.g., macrolepidoptera, microlepidoptera, small‐sized species, and specialists to mirror variation in vegetation, as well as their susceptibility to weather and inter‐annual fluctuations.

Central and Northern European caterpillar assemblages show strong phylogenetic structure
Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 262-272, January 2022., 2022 A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article. Abstract Phylogenetic diversity metrics have been used to tackle an increasing number of questions in ecology and evolutionary biology. Here we present a novel use of phylogenetic diversity metrics namely the investigation of insect herbivore assemblages on ...

Refining the phylogeny of Crambidae with complete sampling of subfamilies (Lepidoptera, Pyraloidea)
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 84-99, January 2021., 2021 Abstract Crambidae is a group of moths with more than 10,000 species occurring worldwide that evolved diverse morphological and ecological habits. They can be best recognized by morphological characters of the adult tympanal organ and larval chaetotaxy. We present the first molecular phylogeny of Crambidae including all subfamilies and most tribes.
