We studied the response of Battus polydamas (Papilionidae) larvae fed on Aristolochia ringens (containing several diterpenes) and Aristolochia gigantea (containing sesquiterpenes and acyclic monoterpenoids but no diterpenoids or aristolochic acids). We assessed larval performance on fitness components such as survival and differential gene expression ...

The caterpillars of the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) are emerging models to study innate immunity and plastic biodegradation. Both of these processes are impacted by the associations between the insect host and its gut microbiome. Although bacterial flora harbored by the larvae have been characterized, little is known

UV photoluminescence in lycaenid butterfly larvae and implications for nocturnal monitoring
Nocturnal UV flashlight larval surveys are a valuable method for investigating cryptic butterfly species. Thirteen lycaenid butterfly species, across three subfamilies, were tested for photoluminescence. Eight photoluminesced under 365 nm and six under 385–395‐nm UV flashlight, with photoluminescence in Theclinae larvae being initiated at different ...

Museum collections reveal a global range of Ophryocystis parasites in Danaus butterflies
We analysed 2727 museum specimens from 61 butterfly species across 86 countries to document the occurrence and host range of Ophryocystis elektroscirrha (OE) and related parasites in milkweed butterflies. Ophryocystis parasites infected Danaus petilia (16%), D. plexippus (12%), D. chrysippus (11%), D. gilippus (4%) and D.
