Census of the Bacterial Community of the Gypsy Moth Larval Midgut by Using Culturing and Culture-Independent Methods
TL;DR: The results provide the first comprehensive description of the microbial diversity of a lepidopteran midgut and demonstrate that the plant species in the diet influences the composition of the gut bacterial community.

Native Pollinators in Anthropogenic Habitats
TL;DR: There is a need for studies of pollinator species composition and relative abundance, rather than simply species richness and aggregate abundance, to identify the species that are lost and gained with increasing land-use change.

TL;DR: This work sampled the phylogenetic breadth of arthropod taxa from the soil to the forest canopy in the San Lorenzo forest, Panama using a comprehensive range of structured protocols and found that models based on plant diversity fitted the accumulated species richness of both herbivore and nonherbivore taxa exceptionally well.

Climatic warming increases voltinism in European butterflies and moths
TL;DR: Using a dataset extending back to the mid-nineteenth century, changes in the voltinism of butterfly and moth species of Central Europe are reported, showing a significant proportion of 263 multi-voltine species showed augmented frequency of second and subsequent generations relative to the first generation in a warm period since 1980.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lepidoptera phylogeny and systematics: the state of inventorying moth and butterfly diversity
TL;DR: The currently recognized robust support for the monophyly of the Lepidoptera is outlined, and the phylogeny of the principal lineages within the order is reviewed succinctly, and some thoughts on how present and future systematic lepidopterology might be prioritised are presented.
