  2. 1. Molecular aspects of pheromone evolution in moths

    Author : David Abraham; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ekologi; 28S genephylogenetic reconstruction pheromone types; ND1 genes; PBP; Pheromone-binding protein genes; Drepanidae; Noctuidae; Geometridae; Lepidoptera; Insect; Evolution; Olfaction; Ecology;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  4. 2. Using big data to understand evolutionary patterns in Geometridae and Erebidae, the two most diverse families of Lepidoptera

    Author : Hamid Ghanavi; Biodiversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  6. 4. On the origin of geometrid moths: the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy

    Author : Leidys Murillo; Biodiversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  7. 5. Identification and Syntheses of Semiochemicals Affecting Mnesampela privata and Trioza apicalis

    Author : Anna Nilsson; Erik Hedenström; Anna-Karin Borg-Karlsson; Mittuniversitetet; []

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE
