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

open access: yesInsect 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

open access: yesInsect 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.

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.

Genome‐wide identification of olfactory receptor and odorant‐binding protein gene families and their roles in Heliothine chemosensory evolution

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide systematic annotation identified 81 odorant receptors (ORs) and 49 odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) in the tobacco budworm, Chloridea virescens. Phylogenetic analyses revealed chemosensory gene diversification in Heliothinae and extensive lineage‐specific duplications in C.

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

open access: yesInsect 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.
