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 ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 649-657, September 2023., 2023 We studied 1102 species of geometridae moths along a continuous tropical rainforests gradient in Papua New Guinea, from 200 m lowland to 3700 m asl timberline forest. We recorded a mid‐elevational peak for the geometridae moths, with 1200 m asl as the most species‐rich elevation.

First pyraloid (Insecta, Lepidoptera) caterpillar from Dominican amber [PDF]
Nota Lepidopterologica, 2023 Only three fossils in the Pyraloidea (Insecta, Lepidoptera) have been confirmed to date, two adults and one larva. The first confirmed larva, in the subfamily Pyraustinae (Crambidae), was described from Baltic amber. Recently, another pyraloid larva from

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 ...

Exploring the power of moth samples to reveal community patterns along shallow ecological gradients
Ecological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 371-381, June 2022., 2022 Some functional or taxonomic groups are more likely to reflect environmental variation than others. We analyzed the suitability of e.g., macrolepidoptera, microlepidoptera, small‐sized species, and specialists to mirror variation in vegetation, as well as their susceptibility to weather and inter‐annual fluctuations.

Museomics of a rare taxon: placing Whalleyanidae in the Lepidoptera Tree of Life
Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 926-937, October 2021., 2021 We highlight the usefulness of whole‐genome sequencing of museum specimens in order to infer the phylogenetic positions of rare and difficult to collect taxa. We showcase the utility of a museomics approach by providing the first extensive genomic dataset for the enigmatic genus Whalleyana, endemic to Madagascar, and find it to be sister to ...
