Southeast Asian clearwing moths buzz like their model bees [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2021 Background The endless struggle to survive has driven harmless species to evolve elaborate strategies of deceiving predators. Batesian mimicry involves imitations of noxious species’ warning signals by palatable mimics.

A survey of molecular diversity and population genetic structure in North American clearwing moths (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) using cytochrome c oxidase I. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The phylogeographic structure of insect species in North America is poorly understood. The moth family Sesiidae (Lepidoptera) contains many economically important pests of agriculture and forestry, as well as beneficial species used in biological control.

Mitochondrial genomes of four slug moths (Lepidoptera, Limacodidae): Genome description and phylogenetic implications. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of Parasa lepida, Phlossa conjuncta, Thosea sinensis, and Setora sinensis, and performed the first comparative genomic analyses of Limacodidae. The use of the ATT start codon by the cox1 gene in P. lepida is the first documented use of this start codon in Limacodidae mitogenomes. Within Zygaenoidea,

A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof-of-Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...
