Mitochondrial phylogenomics of the Australian scribbly gum moth Ogmograptis (Lepidoptera: Bucculatricidae) and an examination of deep‐level relationships within Lepidoptera

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 ...

Maintaining understory vegetation in oil palm plantations supports higher assassin bug numbers

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 4, Issue 4, October–December 2023., 2023
Reduced understory vegetation complexity in oil palm plantations leads to a significant drop off in numbers of assassin bugs, which are major pest control agents within the system. This suggests that maintaining understory vegetation in oil palm has the potential to boost both biodiversity and pest control.

Review of the diet of Icterus pustulatus (Passeriformes: Icteridae) and a new prey, Oiketicus sp. (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) from Mexico

Revista Peruana de Biología, 2023
We report a case of predation on the basket worm Oiketicus sp. (Lepidoptera, Psychidae) by the Streak-backed Oriole (Icterus pustulatus) in the Municipality of Santa Cruz Xoxocotlán, Oaxaca, Mexico.

Widespread latitudinal asymmetry in the performance of marginal populations: A meta‐analysis

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 842-854, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Range shifts are expected to occur when populations at one range margin perform better than those at the other margin, yet no global trend in population performances at range margins has been demonstrated empirically across a wide range of taxa and biomes.

The unresolved phylogenomic tree of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera): Assessing the potential causes and consequences

Systematic Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 531-550, October 2022., 2022
Phylogenomics has helped us resolve much of the Lepidoptera tree of life, but the relationships among the superfamilies within Ditrysia, containing 98% of the order's species richness, remain unresolved. One of the unresolved questions is the phylogenetic position of the large microlepidopteran superfamily Gelechioidea, whose placement depends on the ...

Riparian buffers made of mature oil palms have inconsistent impacts on oil palm ecosystems

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 4, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Expansion of oil palm has caused widespread declines in biodiversity and changes in ecosystem functioning across the tropics. A major driver of these changes is loss of habitat heterogeneity as forests are converted into oil palm plantations.

Biological Flora of the British Isles: Salvia pratensis

Journal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 4171-4190, December 2021., 2021
Salvia pratensis L. (Meadow Clary) is rare in the British Isles, confined largely to fragmented unimproved pasture, hay meadows and grassy verges over calcareous soils. Agricultural intensification and changes in land management have caused a decline in the species over the past century, but more recent legal protection and conservation efforts ...

Adding leaves to the Lepidoptera tree: capturing hundreds of nuclear genes from old museum specimens

Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 649-671, July 2021., 2021
A target enrichment kit and workflow to sequence and process hundreds to thousands of loci for recent and old Lepidoptera specimens is presented. Taxa are added to the Lepidoptera phylogeny based on museum specimens collected between 1892 and 2017. Lepidoptera systematic relationships are discussed.
