Wingtip Speed of the Lift‐Generating Downstroke in Lepidoptera During Takeoff Depends on Wing Loading

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
We measured wingtip speed, as an indicator of angular velocity, during the single downstroke that lifts butterflies and moths from the ground to flight. High‐speed analysis captured 745 takeoff events across 131 lepidopteran species. Wingtip speed showed no correlation with forewing length, a proxy for the Reynolds number and wingtip speed. In contrast,

Functional and phylogenetic beta diversity response of nocturnal moth assemblages to land‐use intensity in grasslands and forests

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.
Land‐use intensification is filtering for species, able to cope with anthropogenic landscapes. This was assumed to result in functionally and phylogenetically homogenous communities, but a recent meta‐analysis could not confirm a consistent homogenization response to human pressure and raises open questions.

Identifying conserved genomic elements and designing universal bait sets to enrich them

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 1103-1112, September 2017., 2017
Summary Targeted enrichment of conserved genomic regions is a popular method for collecting large amounts of sequence data from non‐model taxa for phylogenetic, phylogeographic and population genetic studies. For example, two available bait sets each allow enrichment of thousands of orthologous loci from >20 000 species (Faircloth et al.

Predicting sex bias in mobility from functional traits in flying insects

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
Understanding the movement patterns of organisms is crucial for effective biodiversity conservation in the increasingly dynamic and fragmented landscapes. Since the colonization of habitat patches relies largely on females, sex differences in movement capability must also be considered.

Biogeographic Patterns of Iranian Lepidoptera: A Framework for Conservation

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The contact zone of three zoogeographic realms, the Palearctic, Saharo‐Arabian and Oriental, is an evolutionary cradle of high species richness and endemism in Iran. In this study, we investigate statistically inferred bioregions of Lepidoptera in this region.

Extensive mismatch between protected areas and biodiversity hotspots of Iranian Lepidoptera

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 938-952, November 2024.
Species‐rich regions and areas with higher priority for conservation of Iranian Lepidoptera are mainly restricted to the major mountain ranges in the north and west. We investigated an extensive mismatch between the current network of the protected areas and no‐hunting areas, and the regions prioritized for Lepidoptera conservation within Iran ...

Hiding in plain sight: Phylogenomics reveals a new branch on the Noctuoidea tree of life

Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 258-278, April 2024.
Using anchored hybrid enrichment phylogenomics plus available genomic and transcriptomic data, we provide a densely sampled phylogeny of Prominent Moths (Notodontidae). The phylogenomic resolution of up to 854 loci permits the recognition that the notodontid subfamily Scranciinae does not belong to Notodontidae, nor to any described family of moths ...

Mechanistic understanding of how temperature and its variability shape body size composition in moth assemblages

Functional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 206-218, January 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding how climate affects trait composition within a biological assemblage is critical for assessing and eventually mitigating climate change impacts on the assemblage and its ecological functioning.
