50 years of studying the scarlet tiger moth
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1989 A growing number of long-term studies in plant and animal ecological genetics is now rewarding the patience, perseverance and perspicacity of those involved. A handful have involved work spanning 30 years and more, with an initial major impact on the way the study of population biology has developed. It is 50 years since investigation of the medionigra

Diversity and composition of Amazonian moths in primary, secondary and plantation forests. [PDF]
, 2009 The response of tropical fauna to landscape-level habitat change is poorly understood. Increased conversion of native primary forest to alternative land-uses, including secondary forest and exotic tree plantations, highlights the importance of assessing ...

The Arctiid Archetype: A New Lepidopteran Groundplan
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The nymphalid groundplan (NGP) has proven to be extraordinarily useful in the study of butterfly color patterns because it allows for the identification of homologous elements across species. It has long been thought that the NGP is broadly applicable to

Aposematic Coloration of Moths Decreases Strongly along an Elevational Gradient in the Andes
Insects, 2021 On tropical mountains, predation pressure decreases with elevation. Accordingly, one expects an elevational decay in the prevalence of costly defensive traits such as aposematic coloration.

Understanding carnivore killing behaviour: Exploring the motivations for tiger killing in the Sundarbans, Bangladesh [PDF]
, 2014 This paper explores village-based tiger killing (TK) among communities bordering the Sundarbans mangrove forest, Bangladesh. We find that TKs are not purely retaliatory in nature (i.e.
