recommendations! Published in 2017 at "BioEssays"

DOI: 10.1002/bies.201600086

Abstract: As most work on flower foraging focuses on bees, studying Lepidoptera can offer fresh perspectives on how sensory capabilities shape the interaction between flowers and insects. Through a combination of innate preferences and learning, many… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4266-4

Abstract: The recent decline of Lepidoptera species strongly correlates with the increasing intensification of agriculture in Western and Central Europe. However, the effects of changed host-plant quality through agricultural fertilization on this insect group remain largely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13744-019-00703-7

Abstract: Mythimna (Pseudaletia) sequax Franclemont, 1951 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidade) is the most important armyworm in the American tropics and subtropics. In this study, we describe the external morphology of the immatures and adults, based on larvae fed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foodcont.2021.108059

Abstract: Abstract Two real-time PCR methods were developed for the specific detection of silkworm (Bombyx mori) as an illegal ingredient in feed. The methods, a single- and a multi-copy approach, amplify small sequences of 91 and… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Micron"

DOI: 10.1016/j.micron.2020.103000

Abstract: Insects have different types of cuticular sensory structures, called sensilla, which are employed in environmental perception due to their direct connection to the nervous system. Antennae are the main structures containing these sensilla in Lepidoptera.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.5c08131

Abstract: Sex pheromones, which play a critical role in mediating sexual communication of Lepidoptera, are biosynthesized by a variety of particular enzymes in specialized pheromone glands (PGs). Among these enzymes, fatty acyl-CoA reductases (FARs) catalyze the… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Scientific Reports"

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-53734-w

Abstract: Lepidoptera have little fossilization potential due to the presence of delicate structures and hence are exceptional findings, even in ambers that allow their preservation in sufficient detail for interpretation. From Eocene Baltic amber, the volumetrically… read more here.
