Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.

Phylogeny of subtribe Gonolobinae (Apocynaceae‐Asclepiadoideae) based on molecular and morphological data with a revised generic classification

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The presently most densely sampled molecular phylogeny of the widespread New World subtribe Gonolobinae is presented, including about 35% of the ca. 520 species. Sampling focused on an even representation of the three main areas of total Gonolobinae distribution, South America, Central/North America, and the West Indian Islands, and the ...

A highly contiguous genome assembly of the bat hawkmoth Hyles vespertilio (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae)

GigaScience, 2020
Background Adapted to different ecological niches, moth species belonging to the Hyles genus exhibit a spectacular diversity of larval color patterns. These species diverged ~7.5 million years ago, making this rather young genus an interesting system to ...

Spatial Mismatches of Plant‐Pollinator Interactions Under Future Climate Conditions

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Global change could disrupt critical ecological interactions, especially if interacting species shift their geographic ranges at different rates or in different directions. Functional redundancy within generalized networks could make them more resilient to climate change than networks with highly specialized interactions.

Ancient incomplete lineage sorting of Hyles and Rhodafra (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae)

Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2020
The hawkmoth genus Rhodafra comprises two African species with unclear relationships, as their wing patterns are markedly different, with one species closely resembling species of a related genus, Hyles .

Tympanal and atympanal ‘mouth–ears’ in hawkmoths (Sphingidae) [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2002
The labral pilifers and the labial palps form ultrasound-sensitive hearing organs in species of two distantly related hawkmoth subtribes, the Choerocampina and the Acherontiina. Biomechanical examination now reveals that their ears represent different types of hearing organs.

Report of Bithia glirina and Masicera sphingivora (Diptera: Tachinidae) from Iran [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2006
Two species of Tachinidae, Masicera sphingivora (Robineau & Desvoidy) and Bithia glirina (Rondani), were collected from pupae and larvae of Hyles euphorbiae (L.) (Lep.: Sphingidae) and Chamaesphecia schizoceriformis Kolenati (Lep.: Sesiidae) respectively.

A faunistic study of moths (Lep.: Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea and Noctuoidea) in Khabr National Park, with a new record from Iran [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران
The moth fauna of southeastern Iran’s protected areas remains largely unexplored. To help fill this gap, moths were sampled in Khabr National Park (Kerman Province) during six periods: September 2022, February and April 2023, October and December 2024 ...

Nocturnal Lepidopterans as Essential Pollinators of Aspidosperma pyrifolium (Apocynaceae), a Keystone Tree in the Caatinga Dry Forest

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 351-363, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Pollination is a key ecosystem service, yet most studies focus on diurnal interactions, often overlooking nocturnal pollinators such as hawkmoths and settling moths. In arid environments, nocturnal pollination plays a crucial role in maintaining native plant species of high biocultural value, as seen in the Caatinga dry forest.

Influence of drought stress on the metabolite and ion composition in nectar and nectaries of different day‐ and night‐flowering Nicotiana species

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 897-912, April 2026.
Drought stress leads to reduced nectar secretion and alters nectar composition of day‐ and night‐flowering Nicotiana species, which may impair plant–pollinator interactions. Abstract The frequencies of droughts worldwide will increase in the future due to climate changes. Nectar composition of plant species varies in relation to pollinator and can also
