Abstract:

For all examined species of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera), common peculiarities of larval molts are revealed, which distinguish them from all other insects: with the molt from one larval instar to another, living tissues of head and thoracic legs undergo significant destruction; the remaining tissues of the head shift backward and are partly impressed into the prothorax, and the remained tissues of the legs are shortened; with the ecdysis, the old head capsule is not broken by the Y-shaped suture, but is shed as a whole. In contrast to the larval molts, the molt from larva to pupa in mos

Abstract Vision is underpinned by phototransduction, a signaling cascade that converts light energy into an electrical signal. Among insects, phototransduction is best understood in Drosophila melanogaster. Comparison of D. melanogaster against three insect species found several phototransduction gene gains and losses, however, lepidopterans were not examined. Diurnal butterflies and nocturnal moths occupy different light environments and have distinct eye morphologies, which might impact the expression of their phototransduction genes.

Abstract:

Butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) are one of the major superradiations of insects, comprising nearly 160,000 described extant species. As herbivores, pollinators, and prey, Lepidoptera play a fundamental role in almost every terrestrial ecosystem. Lepidoptera are also indicators of environmental change and serve as models for research on mimicry and genetics. They have been central to the development of coevolutionary hypotheses, such as butterflies with flowering plants and moths’ evolutionary arms race with echolocating bats. However, these hypotheses have not been rigorously tested, becau

Bt maize targeting Lepidopteran pests poses potential risks for non-target (NT) butterflies and moths which are addressed in the environmental risk assessment of genetically modified crop plants. For this purpose, eco-toxicological tests are often conducted with specific NT species in the laboratory in order to assess possible adverse effects. As only a limited number of surrogate species can be addressed, the choice of focal species to be tested is an important decision. However, practical and standardised selection procedures have hardly been developed and applied for NT Lepidoptera, so far.

Here, we describe a 3-branched subcostal vein, a 5-branched medial vein and a 2-branched cubitus posterior vein on the forewing of Agathiphaga vitiensis Dumbleton 1952 from Vanuatu. Such veins had not previously been described in any Lepidoptera. Because wing veins are typically lost during lepidopteran evolutionary history, rarely—if ever—to be regained, the venation of A. vitiensis probably represents the ancestral character state for moths. Wing venation is often used to

Abstract:

The Lepidoptera is one of the most widespread and recognisable insect orders. Due to their remarkable diversity, economic and ecological importance, moths and butterflies have been studied extensively over the last 200 years. More recently, the relationship between Lepidoptera and their heritable microbial endosymbionts has received increasing attention. Heritable endosymbionts reside within the host’s body and are often, but not exclusively, inherited through the female line. Advancements in molecular genetics have revealed that host-associated microbes are both extremely prevalent among arth

Abstract:

Background: During the domestication of silkworm, an economic insect, its physiological characteristics have changed greatly. RNA-based gene duplication, known as retrocopy, plays an important role in the formation of new genes and genome evolution, but the retrocopies of lepidopteran insects have not been fully identified and analyzed, which not only severely limits researchers from exploring the effects of retrocopies on lepidopteran insects but also affects the studies on the domestication of silkworm. Methods: We compared the genomes and proteomes of eight lepidopteran insects and used a s

Abstract:

Lepidoptera, an order of insects traditionally linked to the aerial habitat, are much more diverse in their living environment than the clichéd image we may have of them. The imago stage, which is the most visible in these insects, is not the one that has the most interaction with the environment (usually caterpillars) nor the one that lasts the longest (very often chrysalises). These two stages are often directly related to litter and soil, although only the interaction at the pupal stage seems to follow a phylogenetic logic with two independent evolutionary events for the preference with soi

Abstract:

In insects, sex determination pathways involve three levels of master regulators: primary signals, which determine the sex; executors, which control sex-specific differentiation of tissues and organs; and transducers, which link the primary signals to the executors. The primary signals differ widely among insect species. In Diptera alone, several unrelated primary sex determiners have been identified. However, the doublesex (dsx) gene is highly conserved as the executor component across multiple insect orders. The transducer level shows an intermediate level of conservation. In many, but not a

Abstract:

Noctuidae are one of the most important Lepidoptera groups containing dangerous pest species. Monitoring and detection of these pest species is routinely performed by traps baited with sex-pheromones. Baits that attract both males and females were developed for improved pest management. First the effectiveness of different synthetic compounds was evaluated. We also tested semi-synthetic baits that contained both synthetic and natural components (wine and beer). These were more attractive for moths considering species richness and abundance. Disadvantage of this increased effectiveness is that

Natural disturbances have a major impact on boreal forest landscape dynamics, and although fire history is well documented at the Holocene scale, spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens)) (SBW) dynamics have only been known for the last three centuries. This is likely due to the difficulty in using and interpreting existing indicators (cephalic head capsules and feces). In this methodological study, we present an original approach using lepidopteran wing scales to reconstruct insect abundance.

Despite being such an unusual collecting and preservation technique, it illustrates how a dedicated field biologist, with limited resources, can amass a significant, data-rich Lepidoptera collection that provides reliable information on distribution, habitat preferences

Based on a query and on a literature review, the population trends of Finnish Lepidoptera since Kaisila's (1962) thorough overview are analysed. Changes in the belt of three coastal biogeographical provinces (V-EK) show significant correlations with those in three inland provinces (St-ES). Furthermore, positive trends in these belts are reflected as new provincial finds north of them. The spatial synchrony is supposedly caused by spatially conelated climatic conditions. This is supported by evidence of synchronous trends in species grouped according to their overwintering stages (Marttila 1991
