Generation cycles in experimental populations of a multivoltine insect

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 782-794, May 2026.
Although theory suggests various mechanisms by which environmental and ecological factors may drive generational fluctuations, our field‐cage experiment is the first to demonstrate how internal dynamics and external disturbances jointly produce synchronised, large‐scale outbreak cycles.

Evaluating the Molecular Potential and Interpretability of DNA in Historical Spirit Collection Media

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Advancements in historical genomics increasingly leverage museum collections to study past ecosystems, species interactions and biodiversity. Formalin‐fixed, ethanol‐preserved specimens, once thought inaccessible to molecular analyses due to DNA degradation, are emerging as valuable genomic resources.

Modeling the Impacts of the Current and Projected Temperatures on Spongy Moth Population Dynamics

The spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) is an invasive forest pest that has caused significant ecological damage across the United States. Its invasion front is shaped by a number of factors, including temperature in both the northern and southern regions ...

Superhydrophobicity Mechanism of Refoliated Quaking Aspen Leaves After Complete Defoliation by LDD (Gypsy, Spongy) Moth Caterpillars

, 2023
Complete defoliation of trees due to periodic LDD (Lymantria dispar dispar) moth outbreaks in many parts of the world is a significant stress factor for the survival of individual trees and entire forests over vast areas.

The Biology, Ecology, Distribution and Management of Two Globally Invasive Weeds: Calotropis procera (Calotrope) and Calotropis gigantea (Giant Calotrope)

Weed Research, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Calotropis procera and C. gigantea are emerging as globally invasive plants that can significantly alter ecosystems in areas where they have escaped from attended cultivation. Without effective management, these species can form dense monospecific stands, resulting in severe economic, environmental and social impacts.

Candidate natural enemy assemblage for the biological control of Lymantria dispar L. in oak (Quercus spp.) with different levels of pest infestation

Journal of Forest Science
Mediterranean Quercus forests have great ecological importance but face numerous threats, including pests. The spongy moth, Lymantria dispar L., is a major oak defoliator across its geographical range and has a natural enemy complex that may control its ...

Mesocarnivore sensitivity to natural and anthropogenic disturbance leads to declines in occurrence and concern for species persistence

Ecology and Evolution
Understanding 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,

Time is of the essence: unveiling the rapid response of Populus to insect feeding

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Plant metabolism response to insect herbivores is the central theme of this publication. Genetically uniform individuals of European aspen (Populus tremula) were exposed to recurrent feeding by spongy moths (Lepidoptera) at specific time intervals ...
