Moth responses to forest-to-bog restoration by A. Pravia, R. Andersen, R.R.E. Artz, K. Boyd, N.R. Cowie, N.A. Littlewood

“…The responses of peatland invertebrates to land use changes and associated effects of peatland degradation are not well known, particularly for diverse and species-rich taxa such as moths. We investigated broad patterns of distribution in moth communities during the restoration of formerly afforested blanket bog, as well as their degree of habitat affinity (tyrphophilia). …”

Climate change and range shifts in two insect defoliators: gypsy moth and nun moth – a model study by Vanhanen, Henri, Veteli, Timo, Päivinen, Sonja, Kellomäki, Seppo, Niemelä, Pekka

“…In this study simulations made with CLIMEX-modelling software were used to predict the future distribution ranges of two Central European serious forest pest species: the nun moth (Lymantria monacha L. (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae)) and the gypsy moth (L. dispar L). …”

Fast Census of Moth Diversity in the Neotropics: A Comparison of Field-Assigned Morphospecies and DNA Barcoding in Tiger Moths. by Mauricio M Zenker, Rodolphe Rougerie, José A Teston, Michel Laguerre, Marcio R Pie, André V L Freitas

“…Using empirical data we have shown that DNA barcoding performed substantially better than the morphospecies approach, based on superficial morphology, to delimit species of a highly diverse moth taxon, and thus should be used in species inventories.…”

Pathogenicity of a microsporidium isolate from the diamondback moth against Noctuid moths: characterization and implications for microbiological pest management. by Idris Abd Ghani, Hamady Dieng, Zainal Abidin Abu Hassan, Norazsida Ramli, Nadia Kermani, Tomomitsu Satho, Hamdan Ahmad, Fatimah Bt Abang, Yuki Fukumitsu, Abu Hassan Ahmad

“…METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We investigated some biological characteristics of the microsporidian parasite isolated from wild Plutella xylostella (PX) and evaluated its pathogenicity on the laboratory responses of sympatric invasive and resident noctuid moths. There were significant differences in spore size and morphology between PX and Spodoptera litura (SL) isolates. …”
