We present a well‐resolved molecular phylogeny of the lycaenid subfamily Poritiinae based on 14 genes from 177 taxa. We confirm the division of the subfamily into two tribes, and divide the Liptenini tribe into six subtribes, including the new subtribe Cooksoniina. The common ancestor of the Poritiini tribe was likely Asian, while that of the Liptenini

Cycad phylogeny predicts host plant use of Eumaeus butterflies
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.

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 ...

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
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 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.

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. Relevant scientific and technical

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