Identification of potential insect ecological interactions using a metabarcoding approach [PDF]
PeerJSpecies interactions are challenging to quantify, particularly when they happen cryptically. Molecular methods have become a key tool to uncover these interactions when they leave behind a DNA trace from the interacting organism (e.g., pollen on a bee ...

Insect ScienceAbstractLymantria dispar (spongy moth) is a globally polyphagous and destructive pest, with the larval stage being the main destructive stage. The larvae feed on more than 600 species of plants ranging from oaks to conifers, and they are capable of completely defoliating entire trees, leading to significant ecological and economic losses.

Mesocarnivore sensitivity to natural and anthropogenic disturbance leads to declines in occurrence and concern for species persistence [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionUnderstanding mesocarnivore responses to both natural and anthropogenic disturbance is crucial for understanding species' potential to maintain landscape persistence into the future. We examined the response of five mesocarnivore species (bobcat, coyote,

Optimizing strategies for slowing the spread of invasive species. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyInvasive species are spreading worldwide, causing damage to ecosystems, biodiversity, agriculture, and human health. A major question is, therefore, how to distribute treatment efforts cost-effectively across space and time to prevent or slow the spread ...

Trait‐mediated responses of caterpillar communities to spongy moth outbreaks and subsequent tebufenozide treatments [PDF]
Ecological Applications, 2023 AbstractOutbreaks of the spongy mothLymantria disparcan have devastating impacts on forest resources and ecosystems. Lepidoptera‐specific insecticides, such asBacillus thuringiensisvar.kurstaki(BTK) and tebufenozide, are often deployed to prevent heavy defoliation of the forest canopy.

Impact of UV radiation and temperature on the spongy moth and the brown-tail moth in Serbia [PDF]
Centralblatt für das gesamte Forstwesen, 2023 The impact of climate change on insect pests is an emerging topic in forestry and forest science. This study investigates the relationships between two broadleaved forest pests – spongy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) and brown-tail moth (Euproctis chrysorrhoea L.) – and oaks (Quercus sp.) as their hosts.
