Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT Butterflies are one of Australia's most popular and well‐studied invertebrate groups. Much butterfly research in the country is either led or supported by amateur entomologists and citizen scientists, and yet despite this, the recent and dramatic increase in the volume of publicly accessible citizen science butterfly observations has received ...

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 599-617, April 2026.The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

REVISION OF CYCLOLOBIUM (LEGUMINOSAE-PAPILIONOIDEAE)
Edinburgh Journal of Botany, 2002 Cyclolobium (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae-Millettieae) has traditionally comprised six species, but doubts have been expressed as to their distinctness. Analysis of morphological variation across the range of the genus indicates Cyclolobium comprises a single species, C. brasiliense Benth.

Contribution of Micromorphology to the Taxonomy of Abrus (Leguminosae–Papilionoideae) [PDF]
Blumea - Biodiversity, Evolution and Biogeography of Plants, 2003 Despite the various taxonomic revisions of Abrus Adans., species and infraspecific delimitation are not always clear. In those revisions very little reference is made to micromorphological characters, in particular to those of the compound leaves, in spite of the stability of some of those characters. By using techniques of light and scanning microscopy

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.The systematic placement of the South African Apoprogones hesperistis Hampson and southern South American Ona australis gen. et sp. n. has been controversial. Based on mitogenomes, phylogenomic data and morphological evidence, we classify both taxa to the moth family Apoprogonidae stat. rev., whose members lack abdominal hearing organs.

Three Decades of Butterfly–Plant Interaction Turnover Explained by Climate and Species Loss
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.Long‐term biodiversity loss reshapes interaction dynamics inpollination networks. Communities become increasingly dominated bygeneralist species that are more capable of rewiring interactions thanspecialists. However, rewiring declines over time as species lossreduces the pool of potential partners, progressively raising thecontribution of species ...

Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 1-17, February 2026.Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

Butterflies of the Bodoquena Plateau in Brazil (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2015 Butterflies and moths are found in all terrestrial environments and require efforts for a better understanding of its mega-diversity. These taxa have been the subject of several studies involving phylogeny, ecology and environmental impacts. Nevertheless, several areas in the tropics remain unexplored, resulting in gaps in the taxonomic composition and
