Lepidoptera research in Puerto Rico: Reconnecting with historical legacies to guide future priorities

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.

Large‐scale genomic data reveal the phylogeny and evolution of owlet moths (Noctuoidea)

, 2023
The owlet moths (Noctuoidea; ~43-45K described species) are one of the most ecologically diverse and speciose superfamilies of animals. Moreover, they comprise some of the world\u27s most notorious pests of agriculture and forestry.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Spilarctia robusta (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea: Erebidae) and its phylogenetic implications

European Journal of Entomology, 2016
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Spilarctia robusta (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea: Erebidae) was sequenced and analyzed. The circular mitogenome is made up of 15,447 base pairs (bp). It contains a set of 37 genes, with the gene complement and
