An Assessment of Gypsy Moth Eradication Attempts in Michigan (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Michigan\u27s infestation of gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, extends over 600,000 acres, First discovered in Michigan in the 19505, gypsy moth was reportedly eradicated through the use of DDT then reintroduced in the 1970s, Substantial circumstantial ...

Delineating Species with DNA Barcodes: A Case of Taxon Dependent Method Performance in Moths
PLoS ONE, 2015 The accelerating loss of biodiversity has created a need for more effective ways to discover species. Novel algorithmic approaches for analyzing sequence data combined with rapidly expanding DNA barcode libraries provide a potential solution.

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design

Distribution and taxonomy of two closely related Nychiodes species in southern Italy (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Ennominae) [PDF]
Nota LepidopterologicaWe investigated the distribution and species circumscription of Nychiodes obscuraria Villers (1789) and Nychiodes ragusaria Millière (1884). The morphology of male and female genitalia of Calabrian populations (southern Italy) revealed them to belong to ...

Reversed impacts by specialist parasitoids and generalist predators may explain a phase lag in moth cycles : a novel hypothesis and preliminary field tests [PDF]
, 2013 Among cyclic populations of herbivores, inter-specific temporal synchrony has been attributed to both climatic factors and trophic interactions. In northern Europe, winter and autumnal moths undergo regular 9–11 year population cycles.

Weather-driven dynamics in a dual-migrant system: moths and bats.
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2015 Animal migrations generate large spatial and temporal fluctuations in biomass that provide a resource base for many predator-prey interactions. These interactions are often driven by continent-scale weather patterns and are difficult to study.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Strain gauges are attached to biomimetic flapping wings to investigate how wing strain sensors detect wind directions. A convolutional neural network model for wind direction classification is developed through experiments. The results reveal that wind classification is possible with strain data of only 0.2 flapping cycles, and the use of biomimetic ...
