The development of an unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis of dual‐polarization weather surveillance radar observations to assess nocturnal insect abundance and diversity

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Contemporary analyses of insect population trends are based, for the most part, on a large body of heterogeneous and short‐term datasets of diurnal species that are representative of limited spatial domains.

Eloria subapicalis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Lymantriinae): rare and specialist species on Erythroxylum (Erythroxylaceae) in the cerrado

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2011
Eloria subapicalis (Walker, 1855) is a rare species (61 individuals in four years of samplings) of Noctuidae (Lymantriinae) with a specific diet consisting of leaves of Erythroxylum P. Browne (Erytroxylaceae) species in Brasilia's cerrado. Generally, the

Brazilian free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) adjust foraging behaviour in response to migratory moths

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2018
Insect migrations represent large movements of resources across a landscape, which are attractive to predators capable of detecting and catching them. Brazilian free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis (I. Geoffroy, 1824)) consume migratory noctuid moths,

Food Plants of Some Adult Sphinx Moths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Excerpt: While food plants of many species of sphinx moth larvae are well known, food plants of the adults are not. Many observations of the feeding habits of adult sphinx moths undoubtedly have been made, but much of the information is probably resting ...

A major gene controls mimicry and crypsis in butterflies and moths

Nature, 2016
Wing colour patterning of multiple species in the butterfly genus Heliconius is controlled by differential expression of the gene cortex, a member of a conserved family of cell cycle regulators.

Gelechiidae Moths Are Capable of Chemically Dissolving the Pollen of Their Host Plants [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Many insects feed on pollen surface lipids and contents accessible through the germination pores. Pollen walls, however, are not broken down because they consist of sporopollenin and are highly resistant to physical and enzymatic damage. Here

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.

Elevational species richness gradients in a hyperdiverse insect taxon: a global meta-study on geometrid moths

, 2017
AIMS: We aim to document elevational richness patterns of geometrid moths in a globally replicated, multi-gradient setting, and to test general hypotheses on environmental and spatial effects (i.e.

Lethal effect of sulfuryl fluoride on eggs of different age of the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) – demonstration of the no constancy of the ct product for control

Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2011
One to four day old eggs of the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella served for an investigation of their tolerance towards sulfuryl fluoride (SF) fumigation at 27°C and 65% relative humidity and of the question of constancy of the lethal dosage of SF –

Moth-inspired navigation algorithm in a turbulent odor plume from a pulsating source [PDF]

, 2013
Some female moths attract male moths by emitting series of pulses of pheromone filaments propagating downwind. The turbulent nature of the wind creates a complex flow environment, and causes the filaments to propagate in the form of patches with varying concentration distributions.
