Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.In this study, a new phylogenetic study reclassifies the moth subfamilies Dyopsinae and Thiacidinae. For the first time, Thiacidas postica—the type species of Thiacidinae—was sequenced and shown to belong within Dyopsinae, in the Ceroctena clade. As a result, Thiacidinae is reinstated as the tribe Thiacidini (stat. nov.) within Dyopsinae.

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 3, March 2026.The central complex is a group of midline‐spanning neuropils in the brain of insects with a key role in goal‐directed orientation and navigation. Immunolabeling in 25 species, ranging from bristletails to flies, shows that neurons containing peptides of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides are present in most species studied.

Pollinator, herbivore, and climatic selective pressures differ across a floral color transition zone
American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Premise Spatial and temporal variations in climate and ecological interactions may underlie the origin and maintenance of floral color polymorphisms across a species range. Betalains are nitrogen‐containing, phylogenetically restricted pigments that, like the widespread and well‐studied anthocyanins and carotenoids, may attract pollinators ...

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.We measured wingtip speed, as an indicator of angular velocity, during the single downstroke that lifts butterflies and moths from the ground to flight. High‐speed analysis captured 745 takeoff events across 131 lepidopteran species. Wingtip speed showed no correlation with forewing length, a proxy for the Reynolds number and wingtip speed. In contrast,

Sexually Dimorphic and Isomorphic Glomeruli in the Antennal Lobes of the Sphinx Moth Manduca sexta [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2000 Antennal lobes of adult male and female Manduca sexta were compared in order to investigate the nature and extent of sexual dimorphism of the primary olfactory center of this lepidopteran species. Complete identification of the glomeruli led to the conclusion that all female glomeruli have homologous male counterparts.

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2267-2281, November 2025.This study identifies pollen from over 100 plant species—including wildflowers, food and crops—carried by hoverflies alighting onto an oilrig 200 km off the coast during seasonal migrations. Analysis of their movements indicates a huge potential to enhance long distance gene flow between plants and increase pollination services.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 729-740, August 2025.Male moth (Sphinx ligustri L.) flight behaviour was studied in a flight tunnel under varying light‐emitting diode (LED) types and intensities to assess arrival location, flight duration and direction changes. In a homogeneous light environment, all tested LEDs significantly reduced arrival frequency of males at the females compared with a dim light ...
