Why mow?: A review of the resulting ecosystem services and disservices from mowing turfgrass

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Turfgrasses are those grasses that tolerate frequent mowing. The act of mowing turfgrasses, primarily lawn mowing, has received much negative attention primarily due to its labor requirement and the resulting mower emissions. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the benefits and drawbacks of mowing grasses, specifically turfgrasses ...

Extensive mismatch between protected areas and biodiversity hotspots of Iranian Lepidoptera

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 938-952, November 2024.
Species‐rich regions and areas with higher priority for conservation of Iranian Lepidoptera are mainly restricted to the major mountain ranges in the north and west. We investigated an extensive mismatch between the current network of the protected areas and no‐hunting areas, and the regions prioritized for Lepidoptera conservation within Iran ...

Species traits to guide moth conservation in anthropogenic regions: A multi‐species approach using distribution trends in Flanders (northern Belgium)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1016-1032, November 2024.
By applying Multi‐Species Change Indices to over 1.8 million citizen scientist observations from 1980 to 2022, we assessed the distributional changes of macro‐moths in Flanders (northern Belgium)—a highly anthropogenic region in Northwest Europe—by linking temporal trends to 10 key ecological and life history traits.

First comprehensive higher level phylogeny of Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) including estimated ages of the major lineages and a review of known zygaenid fossils

Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 610-623, October 2024.
Using 30 gene fragments and sampling nearly 50% of the genera, we provide a well‐resolved phylogeny of Zygaenidae; Zygaenidae are recovered as monophyletic as are most of the subfamilies. The lineage leading to the extant Zygaenidae diverged in Late Cretaceous, while the divergence among the subfamilies occurred a little before the Cretaceous–Paleogene

Traffic intensity and vegetation management affect flower‐visiting insects and their response to resources in road verges

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1955-1967, August 2024.
Road verges can play a valuable role for the conservation of wild bees and butterflies, but there is a need to consider both traffic intensity and resource availability when implementing management strategies. To support wild bee and butterfly diversity, we recommend actions to enhance plant species richness and flower resource availability, and to ...

Target and non-target Lepidoptera species captured in semiochemical-baited traps for Zygaenidae in two NATURA 2000 protected areas in Bulgaria (Insecta: Lepidoptera)

SHILAP
Semiochemical lures known to attract Zygaenidae species were screened by means of sticky Delta traps and CSALOMON® VARL funnel traps in two Natura 2000 protected areas in Bulgaria - Nikopolsko plato (near Lozitsa village) (northern central Bulgaria) and

Grapeleaf Skeletonizer, Harrisina americana (Guerin-Meneville) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae)

EDIS, 2004
This species is common throughout Florida, with the possible exception of the Keys, and it ranges widely in the eastern half of the United States. It is noticed primarily because of its defoliation of grapevines in home gardens.

Adapting to change: Exploring the consequences of climate‐induced host plant shifts in two specialist Lepidoptera species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.
Our study is the first to our knowledge exploring consequences for specialised low‐elevation insect herbivores facing novel, congeneric, high‐elevation plants. Importantly, our study highlights that considering altered biotic interactions, such as those between specialised insects and their host plants, is crucial to predict how species will respond to
