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 ...

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 ...

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.

Gelechiidae Moths Are Capable of Chemically Dissolving the Pollen of Their Host Plants [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Many insects feed on pollen surface lipids and contents accessible through the germination pores. Pollen walls, however, are not broken down because they consist of sporopollenin and are highly resistant to physical and enzymatic damage. Here

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 ...

Trophic level and specialization moderate effects of habitat loss and landscape diversity on cavity‐nesting bees, wasps and their parasitoids

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 65-76, January 2024.
Differences in species responses with regard to their trophic level, food and habitat specialization, and to habitat loss from local to landscape scales are poorly understood. Using cavity‐nesting communities of bees, wasps and their parasitoids on calcareous grasslands as a model system, we found that species from higher trophic levels experienced ...
