New records of Lepidoptera from Ukraine and description of a new species of Caloptilia Hübner, 1825 (Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae) from the mountains of Crimea

Nota Lepidopterologica, 2017
Twenty-eight rare and poorly known lepidopteran species from eleven families are recorded from different regions of Ukraine. Eight species are recorded for the first time: Bucculatrix pannonica Deschka, 1982 (Bucculatricidae); Biselachista serricornis ...

Identification of pollinators of lesser twayblade Neottia cordata with DNA barcoding reveals strong links with pine forest‐related fauna

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2025, Issue 3, March 2025.
Many European terrestrial orchids are in decline. To curb this negative trend and preserve remaining populations, more ecological knowledge is needed. Surprisingly little is known yet about the identity and efficiency of pollinators of lesser twayblade Neottia cordata, a small terrestrial orchid species associated with pine trees through joint ...

Discreet but diverse and specific: Determining plant‐herbivore interactions across a species‐rich plant family in a tropical rain forest

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
We conducted a year‐long study in Ecuador's Yasuní National Park, focusing on nine understory Annonaceae species to investigate herbivory patterns and herbivore‐host associations. Our findings revealed significant temporal fluctuations in leaf damage, with Anaxagorea brevipes and Unonopsis veneficiorum experiencing higher herbivore pressure, and ...

Montane willow scrub restoration in Scotland: reviewing 30 years of progress to reestablish the altitudinal treeline

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2025.
Many mountain woodlands across the globe have undergone anthropogenic degradation with negative implications for the ecological and socioeconomic systems dependent on them. Montane willows are arctic‐alpine species of high nature conservation concern within the altitudinal treeline.

Moths versus Bees: Contrasts in Habitat Preferences Across Barrens of the Northeastern USA

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
We investigated the response of bee vs. moth communities to abiotic and vegetation drivers in barrens across the Northeast USA. Bee and moth communities contrasted in their habitat preferences for abundance and species richness, but not for the Shannon‐Wiener Diversity Index. Our results suggest that barrens management for both closed and open canopies

Faunistic data of micromoths (Lepidoptera) in North Korea

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2017
In a study of material of microlepidoptera in North Korea that was collected during the zoological expeditions (1970s–1980s) conducted under a scientific agreement between Polish and North Korean academies of science, 17 species belonging to the ...

We know very little about pollination in the Platanthera Rich (Orchidaceae: Orchidoideae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.
This review of Platanthera pollination ecology shows that there are a number of orchid species in the group without pollinator information. Considerable knowledge gaps were identified even for those species where pollinator information has been reported, and these gaps impact our ability to appropriately manage orchid and pollinator populations, which ...

DNA metabarcoding of light trap samples vs. morphological species identification

Ecological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 245-256, April 2024.
Five light trap samples of different complexities were subjected to COI metabarcode sequencing. Species detection rates of metabarcoding versus manual identification were compared between the samples and two different amplicons. Metabarcoding was able to detect between 46% and 69% of manually identified species.

Illuminating arthropod diversity in a tropical forest: Assessing biodiversity by automatic light trapping and DNA metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 2, March–April 2024.
Metabarcoding of automatic light traps in a tropical forest reveals great diversity. Comparing metabarcoding to local long‐term monitoring program reveals this to be successful at capturing known diversity of focal species. Abstract Although studies of insect decline have recently dominated headlines worldwide, their interpretation requires caution ...
