Species traits shape the relationship between local and regional species abundance distributions
Ecosphere, 2019 The species abundance distribution (SAD) depicts the relative abundance of species within a community, which is a key concept in ecology. Here, we test whether SADs are more likely to either follow a lognormal‐like or follow a logseries‐like distribution

PECCO: A Profit and Cost-oriented Computation Offloading Scheme in Edge-Cloud Environment with Improved Moth-flame Optimisation [PDF]
, 2022 With the fast growing quantity of data generated by smart devices and the exponential surge of processing demand in the Internet of Things (IoT) era, the resource-rich cloud centres have been utilised to tackle these challenges. To relieve the burden on cloud centres, edge-cloud computation offloading becomes a promising solution since shortening the ...

A novel lineage of candidate pheromone receptors for sex communication in moths
bioRxiv, 2019 Sex pheromone receptors (PRs) are key players in chemical communication between mating partners in insects. In the highly diversified insect order Lepidoptera, male PRs tuned to female-emitted type I pheromones (which make up the vast majority of ...

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Biodegradable polymers have been getting more and more attention because of their contribution to the plastic pollution environmental issues and to move towards a circular economy. Nevertheless, biodegradable materials still exhibit various disadvantages restraining a widespread use in the market.

Exploration-Exploitation Model of Moth-Inspired Olfactory Navigation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Navigation of male moths toward females during the mating search offers a unique perspective on the exploration-exploitation (EE) model in decision-making. This study uses the EE model to explain male moth pheromone-driven flight paths. We leverage wind tunnel measurements and 3D tracking using infrared cameras to gain insights into male moth behavior.

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 ...

Increased migration of Lepidoptera linked to climate change
European Journal of Entomology, 2007 The number of species of migratory Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) reported each year at a site in the south of the UK has been rising steadily. This number is very strongly linked to rising temperatures in SW Europe.

European Journal of Entomology, 2005 In 1996, an old forest pasture grazed from the 1960s to 1988 was restored by coppicing, fencing and grazing by cattle to protect a local population of the endangered butterfly Euphydryas aurinia. An adjoining ungrazed meadow provided a control.
