Climate change effects on animal ecology: butterflies and moths as a case study

Biological Reviews, 2021
Butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) are one of the most studied, diverse, and widespread animal groups, making them an ideal model for climate change research.

The dark side of street lighting: impacts on moths and evidence for the disruption of nocturnal pollen transport

Global Change Biology, 2017
Among drivers of environmental change, artificial light at night is relatively poorly understood, yet is increasing on a global scale. The community‐level effects of existing street lights on moths and their biotic interactions have not previously been ...

The evolution of anti-bat sensory illusions in moths

Science Advances, 2018
Experimental bat-moth battles reveal that sonar sensing is a driving force in the repeated evolution of silk moth hindwings. Prey transmit sensory illusions to redirect predatory strikes, creating a discrepancy between what a predator perceives and ...

Long‐term changes to the frequency of occurrence of British moths are consistent with opposing and synergistic effects of climate and land‐use changes

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2014
Summary Species’ distributions are likely to be affected by a combination of environmental drivers. We used a data set of 11 million species occurrence records over the period 1970–2010 to assess changes in the frequency of occurrence of 673 macro‐moth ...

Sex pheromone biosynthetic pathways are conserved between moths and the butterfly Bicyclus anynana

Nature Communications, 2014
Although phylogenetically nested within the moths, butterflies have diverged extensively in a number of life history traits. Whereas moths rely greatly on chemical signals, visual advertisement is the hallmark of mate finding in butterflies.

Tabwecala robinsoni gen. nov., sp. nov., from Vanuatu and its systematic position in the ‘Ophiusini-Poaphilini’ clade (Lepidoptera, Erebidae) [PDF]

Nota Lepidopterologica, 2021
A new erebid, Tabwecala robinsoni gen. nov., sp. nov., from the Vanuatu Islands (Espiritu Santo) (West Pacific Ocean) is described. The new species, superficially resembling species of the genera Artena, Achaea or Leistera, shows a peculiar combination ...

Are the Interactions between Oaks and Pre-Dispersal Seed Predators Retained in Urban Environments? An Analysis of Two Quercus Species in Southern Mexico City

Diversity, 2022
As urbanization proceeds, natural ecosystems surrounding cities are transformed, but usually some elements persist, notably trees from forest ecosystems.
