Species spectrum and abundance of moths (Lepidoptera) in the greenhouse culture of Solanum lycopersicum

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis
The species spectrum and abundance of moths were monitored in a greenhouse in Kameničany (western Slovakia) in 2020, in which Solanum lycopersicum was grown from seedlings imported from the Netherlands.

Light-emitting diode street lights reduce last-ditch evasive manoeuvres by moths to bat echolocation calls

Royal Society Open Science, 2015
The light-emitting diode (LED) street light market is expanding globally, and it is important to understand how LED lights affect wildlife populations. We compared evasive flight responses of moths to bat echolocation calls experimentally under LED-lit ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

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.

Dual‐State Photophysical Modulation via Bifurcated Hydrogen Bonding in a U‐Shaped Dipyridophenazine‐Cored Donor‐π‐Acceptor‐π‐Donor Fluorophore

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A donor–π–acceptor–π–donor (D–π–A–π–D) fluorophore bearing a U‐shaped dipyridophenazine core forms bifurcated hydrogen bonds with neutral donors such as sulfonamides or water. This interaction modulates both ground and excited states, enabling red‐shifted emission and enhanced photoluminescence in solution and solid state.

The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization

Ecography, EarlyView.
Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.

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

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Resumed forest grazing restored a population of Euphydryas aurinia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in SE Finland

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.

Temperature variability homogenized thermal responses in an ectotherm community along a European longitudinal gradient

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change, through rising temperatures, greater variability, and more frequent extremes, is reshaping insect phenology and thermal niches, with profound effects for pest outbreaks. Predicting these impacts requires a clear understanding of species and communities' responses across geographic gradients.
