Moths versus Bees: Contrasts in Habitat Preferences Across Barrens of the Northeastern USA

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
We investigated the response of bee vs. moth communities to abiotic and vegetation drivers in barrens across the Northeast USA. Bee and moth communities contrasted in their habitat preferences for abundance and species richness, but not for the Shannon‐Wiener Diversity Index. Our results suggest that barrens management for both closed and open canopies

DNA metabarcoding of light trap samples vs. morphological species identification

Ecological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 245-256, April 2024.
Five light trap samples of different complexities were subjected to COI metabarcode sequencing. Species detection rates of metabarcoding versus manual identification were compared between the samples and two different amplicons. Metabarcoding was able to detect between 46% and 69% of manually identified species.

Hiding in plain sight: Phylogenomics reveals a new branch on the Noctuoidea tree of life

Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 258-278, April 2024.
Using anchored hybrid enrichment phylogenomics plus available genomic and transcriptomic data, we provide a densely sampled phylogeny of Prominent Moths (Notodontidae). The phylogenomic resolution of up to 854 loci permits the recognition that the notodontid subfamily Scranciinae does not belong to Notodontidae, nor to any described family of moths ...

Disentangling how urbanisation influences moth diversity in grasslands

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 229-242, March 2024.
Moths were sampled with light traps in 40 grasslands (20 in the urban core of a city and 20 in the surrounding area). Urbanised sites favoured generalist species; high levels of urbanisation were associated with reduced moth abundance, which in turn drove declines in diversity. The negative effect of urbanisation was attenuated by habitat fragmentation

Lepidoptera larvae (Insecta) responsible for herbivory on Vanilla spp. (Orchidaceae) in the Federal District, Brazil

EntomoBrasilis
Given its culinary importance and high market value, the cultivation of Vanilla (Orchidaceae) has been expanding annually in Brazil. As observed in many crops, the increase in cultivated areas leads to a greater incidence of insects associated with ...
