Cycad phylogeny predicts host plant use of Eumaeus butterflies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
A case of tight evolution between Eumaeus herbivorous butterflies and cycads, pointing to the generality of correlated evolution and phylogenetic tracking in plant–herbivore interactions across seed plants. Abstract Eumaeus butterflies are obligate herbivores of Zamia, the most diverse neotropical genus of cycads.

Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta‐analysis in insects

Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 394-411, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

The unresolved phylogenomic tree of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera): Assessing the potential causes and consequences

Systematic Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 531-550, October 2022., 2022
Phylogenomics has helped us resolve much of the Lepidoptera tree of life, but the relationships among the superfamilies within Ditrysia, containing 98% of the order's species richness, remain unresolved. One of the unresolved questions is the phylogenetic position of the large microlepidopteran superfamily Gelechioidea, whose placement depends on the ...

Disease‐related population declines in bats demonstrate non‐exchangeability in generalist predators

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022
While many bat species are known to function as suppressors of arthropod abundance, including several economically important agricultural pest taxa, the broader ecological consequences of disease‐related bat declines have not been fully assessed in many regions.

Ego network analysis of the trophic structure of an island land bird through 300 years of climate change and invaders

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022
Ego net analysis is introduced as a new tool to ecology, describing the network context of a single bird species and its interacting species. During the last 200 years, the ego net of this bird has passed two major disturbances, seal hunting and cat introduction.

Scientific opinion on the import of Musa fruits as a pathway for the entry of non‐EU Tephritidae into the EU territory

EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health examined evidence as to whether the import of fruits of Musa (bananas and plantains) could provide a pathway into the EU for Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) or other non‐EU Tephritidae for which Musa is a host.

Saproxylic insects and fungi in deciduous forests along a rural–urban gradient

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1634-1652, February 2021., 2021
We assessed the effects of urbanization, forest size and forest site characteristics on saproxylic insects and fungi using freshly cut beech and oak branches. We found that the degree of urbanization, forest site and branch characteristics can impact the number of individuals of several saproxylic insect groups and the number of fungal OTUs found on ...

Refining the phylogeny of Crambidae with complete sampling of subfamilies (Lepidoptera, Pyraloidea)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 84-99, January 2021., 2021
Abstract Crambidae is a group of moths with more than 10,000 species occurring worldwide that evolved diverse morphological and ecological habits. They can be best recognized by morphological characters of the adult tympanal organ and larval chaetotaxy. We present the first molecular phylogeny of Crambidae including all subfamilies and most tribes.
