Lepidoptera : annotated catalogue, and keys to family-group taxa
TL;DR: This annotated synonymic catalogue represents an attempt to verify and define nomenclaturally the species of Lepidoptera recorded from New Zealand since 1769, based on a thorough re-examination of type material and recorded data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traits that distinguish outbreaking and nonoutbreaking Macrolepidoptera feeding on northern hardwood trees
TL;DR: Life cycle traits of outbreaking and nonoutbreaking species of Macrolepidoptera feeding on hardwoods are compared and outbreaking species also appear to be better defended against predators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of larval gregariousness in relation to repellent defences and warning coloration in tree-feeding Macrolepidoptera: a phylogenetic analysis based on independent contrasts
TL;DR: It is concluded that, since these traits are strongly intercorrelated, it is very difficult to distinguish between their separate effects on the evolution of gregariousness, but potentially, the presence of repellent defence may be sufficient for the Evolution of gRegariousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insects of the boreal zone of canada
Hugh V. Danks,R.G. Foottit +1 more
TL;DR: Boreal ecosystem relationships are complex, especially relative to the arctic as discussed by the authors, and taxonomic information on several important taxa, as well as detailed taxonomic and morphometric information about individual species, is especially scanty.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ecology and evolution of reduced wings in forest macrolepidoptera
TL;DR: Non-phylogenetic comparisons show that the 33 species with reduced wings in this data set tend to be spring feeding, overwinter as eggs, place eggs in clusters or a single mass, have winter-active adults and have high host breadth, high fecundity and outbreaking population dynamics.
