TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the potential generality of these emerging patterns, in the Swedish comma, Polygonia c-album, which is a polyphagous, widely-distributed butterfly.

TL;DR: This study represents the first transcriptional profiling approach investigating the effects of different concentrations of gossypol in a lepidopteran species and reveals diverse detoxifying mechanisms not only to alleviate direct effects of gOSSypol but also indirect damage such as pH disturbance and oxygen radical formation.

TL;DR: This work discusses the existing data on herbivore responses to host plant exposure, toxin feeding or nutrient limitations, and makes an attempt at identifying changes in genome-wide expression patterns of generalist and/or specialist herbivores.

TL;DR: This work investigates an unprecedented reorganization of the standard lepidopteran chromosome structure in the green-veined white butterfly (Pieris napi) and finds that gene content in P. napi has been extensively rearranged in large collinear blocks, suggesting both a mechanism and a possible role for selection in determining the boundaries of these genome-wide rearrangements.

TL;DR: Host plant and plant structure‐specific transcriptional responses in a lepidopteran herbivore is provided, including pathways and gene candidates for future studies of H. armigera physiology under a more integrative ecologically meaningful framework.
