1. Molecular aspects of pheromone evolution in moths
Sammanfattning : Moths rely on the sense of smell (olfaction) as the main sensory input system in search for potential food sources and in selection of suitable females by males. Specific pheromones are fundamental to the reproductive isolation of species and consequently the olfactory system of moths has evolved to a high level of sensitivity and specificity. LÄS MER
2. Using big data to understand evolutionary patterns in Geometridae and Erebidae, the two most diverse families of Lepidoptera
Sammanfattning : Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) are one of the most diverse groups of organisms on earth. They have conquered all the continents apart from Antarctica. The reasons of such high diversity are still not clear. One of the first steps to study the causes of such evolutionary success is to have a clear idea of their phylogenetic relationships. LÄS MER
3. The influence of the climatic energy balance on living conditions and distribution patterns of Idaea spp. (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) : an expansion of the species energy theory
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
4. On the origin of geometrid moths: the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy
Sammanfattning : Geometrid moths represent one of the largest radiations of Lepidoptera. Phylogenetic analyses based on morphological and molecular data supports the monophyly of this group of moths. However, the subfamilial and tribal compositions of major groups are still unresolved, leading to unstable classifications. LÄS MER
5. Identification and Syntheses of Semiochemicals Affecting Mnesampela privata and Trioza apicalis
Sammanfattning : The Autumn gum moth, Mnesampela privata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) is an endemic Australian moth whose larvae feed upon species of Eucalyptus. The moths favorite host plants are E. globulus and E. nitens which are the most important species used in commercial plantations of the Australian pulpwood industry. LÄS MER
