Comparing deep learning models for butterfly and moth (Lepidoptera) species identification

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Deep learning models open new possibilities for the processing of image‐based species records. We used high‐performance computing to compare 40 models for butterfly and moth species identification based on a citizen science dataset with over 500,000 images of 162 species.

Protection status and environmental gradients shape butterfly assemblages in an East African tropical ecosystem

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Observed butterfly richness was highest in moderately protected areas. During the dry season, vegetation productivity increased butterfly richness while human population density reduced it. Moderately protected areas supported high butterfly abundance and a high proportion of host‐specialist species.

Moth traps shine a light on nocturnal parasitoid wasps: Snapshot assessment of UK diversity and distributions

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Biological datasets are biased towards well‐known, charismatic taxa, meaning that our understanding of biodiversity is incomplete. Parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) are an ecologically important, yet often overlooked group of insects. We show that 5 months of sampling for parasitoid ‘bycatch’ at moth light traps operated by citizen scientists provides ...

Interactions of land use and climate change disproportionately impact Lepidoptera of the five major insect orders

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Land use and climate change are two major environmental pressures that interact to impact insect biodiversity. We compared the impacts of land use alone and of the interaction between land use and climate change on the five major insect orders. Most impacted were the Lepidoptera, showing 91% lower total abundance in sites of high‐intensity agriculture ...

Genetic erosion and projected habitat loss in the protected Alpine moth Actias isabellae galliaegloria (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) Erosion génétique et perte d'habitat chez le papillon alpin protégé Actias isabellae galliaegloria (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Genomic analyses of Actias isabellae galliaegloria reveal low genetic diversity and inbreeding, indicating a historical bottleneck and reduced adaptive potential. Climate change is projected to drastically reduce suitable habitat by 2050, driven by rising temperatures and declines in Scots pine, its primary host.

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.
