Assessing risk of Lymantria dispar L. invasion management to monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus)
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 Conflicting conservation goals that lead to management tradeoffs are not uncommon in conservation practice. In this study, we explore a potential conflict between the management of a destructive invasive insect pest, Lymantria dispar, and conservation of

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
Insect Science, EarlyView.The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Area, EarlyView.Abstract This paper invites you into conversation about research accountability grounded in relationality and led by Gumbaynggirr Ngambaa ways of knowing. From this place in so‐called Australia, accountability is not a static or bureaucratic process, but an embodied living practice of respect, guided by existing protocols and relationships with and as ...

Genomic Access to Monarch Migration Using TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Targeted Mutagenesis
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 The eastern North American monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, is an emerging model system to study the neural, molecular, and genetic basis of animal long-distance migration and animal clockwork mechanisms.

A magnetic compass aids monarch butterfly migration [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2014 Convincing evidence that migrant monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) use a magnetic compass to aid their fall migration has been lacking from the spectacular navigational capabilities of this species. Here we use flight simulator studies to show that migrants indeed possess an inclination magnetic compass to help direct their flight equatorward in ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We surveyed 119 stands of common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) across an urbanisation gradient to investigate how restored garden habitat might ameliorate the negative effects of urbanisation on specialist herbivores. Surprisingly, we found most herbivores (including the monarch butterfly) had greater occupancy on common milkweed towards an urban centre.

Locating nests of endangered bumble bees: Lessons from field trials in northern Germany
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Tracking bumble bees to find their nests using coloured strips of paper stuck to their thorax proved to be the most suitable method, while radio transponders were too heavy. Tracking times of up to 2 h and distances of up to 800 m were achieved with strips of pink craft tissue paper.
