Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.We assessed how an acute heat shock event experienced at two different points in Manduca sexta larval development (early and late) impacted adult performance and fitness traits and whether thermal exposure of parents elicited plastic changes in offspring traits.

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2025.The insect‐microbe interplay fulfills a key ecological role involving the degradation of ligninocellulose biomass. This is coordinated by the secretion of different kinds of proteins, of which ligninolytic enzymes, such as laccases (Lacs), are of prime importance.

Biochemical Analysis of Insect Camouflage in Manduca sexta, the Tobacco Hornworm [PDF]
, 2012 Manduca sexta (Tobacco Hornworm) larvae exhibit diet-induced adaptation, demonstrating green coloration in their natural environment but becoming a pale blue when placed on a lab diet lacking plant material.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.This study investigates the relationship between acorn functional traits and weevil infestation rates in six dominant Fagaceae species in semi‐humid evergreen broad‐leaved forests in Yunnan, China. Morphological traits (pericarp thickness) and chemical defence compounds (tannin content) are key factors influencing weevil infestation rates.

Diet C:N ratio and temperature influence the performance and colouration of tobacco hornworms
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 708-716, August 2025.Melanization can help insects deal with environmental temperatures, but melanin synthesis can depend on nutrient availability. We tested whether the diet C:N ratio and temperature influence Manduca sexta performance and colouration. Larvae performed better at the warmer temperature of 27°C compared to 18°C and had a lighter colour when fed a low ...
