Timing and Patterns in the Taxonomic Diversification of Lepidoptera (Butterflies and Moths)

PLoS ONE, 2013
The macroevolutionary history of the megadiverse insect order Lepidoptera remains little-known, yet coevolutionary dynamics with their angiospermous host plants are thought to have influenced their diversification significantly.

Odour perception in the codling moth Cydia pomonella L. [PDF]

, 2004
The codling moth, Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a renowned pest in apple, pear and walnut orchards, and its activities are in large guided by volatile odours as sensory cues.

Freezing Lepidoptera for Temporary Storage [PDF]

, 2017
Frequently the lepidopterist is faced with the problem of mounting an inordinately larze number of specimens taken on a field trip. Most butterflies and larger moths may of course be pinned or papered and relaxed at leisure for mounting, but this method ...

Insect‐resistant soybean genotypes accumulate rutin and its O‐methylated derivative narcissin, a more potent flavonol targeting Anticarsia gemmatalis digestive and detoxification enzymes and reducing larval survival

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Soybean underpins Brazil's agricultural, yet its sustainability is threatened by lepidopteran pests such as Anticarsia gemmatalis. Although insect‐resistant cultivars have long been associated with the constitutive accumulation of quercetin‐derived flavonols, the biochemical mechanisms underlying this resistance remain poorly ...

Garden and Landscape-Scale Correlates of Moths of Differing Conservation Status: Significant Effects of Urbanization and Habitat Diversity

PLoS ONE, 2014
Moths are abundant and ubiquitous in vegetated terrestrial environments and are pollinators, important herbivores of wild plants, and food for birds, bats and rodents.

A Refractory Leg Skin Ulcer Associated With Multiple Myeloma Successfully Treated With Plasma Exchange, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder that primarily presents with CRAB symptoms (calcium elevation, renal failure, anemia, and bone abnormalities). In rare cases, MM manifests with systemic complications like skin ulcers, which present management challenges. Here, we report a 78‐year‐old Japanese man with MM and refractory

Higher mobility of butterflies than moths connected to habitat suitability and body size in a release experiment

Ecology and Evolution, 2014
Mobility is a key factor determining lepidopteran species responses to environmental change. However, direct multispecies comparisons of mobility are rare and empirical comparisons between butterflies and moths have not been previously conducted.

Airway Involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle Syndrome: A Novel Clinical Manifestation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We report the first documented case of airway involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle syndrome (CDPX2), an X‐linked dominant form of chondrodysplasia punctata caused by pathogenic variants in EBP. A 2‐month‐old female with genetically confirmed CDPX2 developed severe subglottic stenosis and persistent respiratory distress requiring CPAP; cross ...

Mexican Lepidoptera biodiversity [PDF]

, 2002
Being among the most habitat diverse countries in the world (and plant diversity is about 22,000 sp.), Mexico has a Lepidoptera fauna recorded at about 14,385 species but is estimated to be over 22,000 species, if not much higher (some estimates go to 35,
