Chromosome-level genome assembly of Ctenoplusia agnata and its potential application in Plusiinae pest management. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciAssembly of Ctenoplusia agnata genome at the chromosomal level and the use of pest management through comparative genomes with Plusiinae pests. Abstract BACKGROUND Ctenoplusia agnata is a polyphagous pest affecting bean crops and cruciferous vegetables across East Asian countries, including Korea.

Austral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 449-463, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Larval feeding by the moth genus Ogmograptis (Bucculatricidae: Lepidoptera) creates one of the most iconic features of the Australian bush—the ‘scribbles’ found on smooth‐barked Eucalyptus. The taxonomic history of Ogmograptis has been challenging, with members of the genus being initially described in four different genera representing three ...

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1215-1232, November 2023., 2023 In Puerto Rico, a tropical archipelago in a region characterized by complex socio‐economic and environmental change, ecological knowledge of the local insect fauna is scarce. Greater emphasis on ecological monitoring of model insect groups like Lepidoptera could provide insight into the effects of global change on tropical biodiversity and contribute ...

Phylogenomics resolves major relationships of Catocala underwing moths
Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 633-643, October 2023., 2023 Our molecular phylogeny of the charismatic underwing moth genus Catocala (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) recovers Catocala and Catocala + Ulotrichopus as monophyletic groups with strong support. Our mapping of larval host plant use onto our molecular phylogeny shows that the most recent common ancestor of Catocala likely fed on legumes.

Evolutionary history of Euteliidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea)
Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 445-462, July 2023., 2023 We elucidated evolutionary relationships of Euteliidae. The divergence time estimated Euteliidae ancestors originated about 53 Ma. Malpighiales are inferred to be ancestral larval hostplant order for Euteliidae. Abstract We performed a molecular phylogenetic analysis on the family Euteliidae to clarify deep divergences and elucidate evolutionary ...

The mitochondrial genomes of the Geometroidea (Lepidoptera) and their phylogenetic implications
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 In this study, we determined nine mitochondrial genomes for the Geometridae for the first time. A tRNA gene rearrangement was recognized in S. indicataria, which represents the first gene rearrangement reported for Geometroidea and is also unique in Lepidoptera.

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 11, Page 1390-1410, November 2022., 2022 The morphology of the proboscis and associated feeding organs was studied in several nectar‐feeding hawk moths, as well as a specialized honey‐feeder and two supposedly nonfeeding species. The proboscis of nectar‐feeding Sphingidae displays uniformous tip morphology. A novel piercing proboscis is described in a honey‐feeding hawk moth.

The (non) accuracy of mitochondrial genomes for family‐level phylogenetics in Erebidae (Lepidoptera)
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 695-707, November 2022., 2022 Abstract The use of molecular data to study the evolutionary history of organisms has revolutionized the field of systematics. Now with the appearance of high throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies, more and more genetic sequence data are available. One of the important sources of genetic data for phylogenetic analyses has been mitochondrial DNA. The

Insect Science, EarlyView.This study investigates the taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a protected coastal dune system in Central Italy, revealing strong ecological associations between moth assemblages and dune zonation. Differences in species composition and trait attributes, along with the presence of habitat‐exclusive species, highlight the role of ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Molecular identification of insect food webs can accurately reveal complex trophic interactions and serve as a foundation for understanding ecosystem functioning and advancing biodiversity conservation. This process typically involves DNA library construction, high‐throughput sequencing and subsequent steps, including data assembly, annotation,
