Moth body size increases with elevation along a complete tropical elevational gradient for two hyperdiverse clades
The body size of an animal is probably its most important functional trait. For arthropods,
environmental drivers of body size variation are still poorly documented and understood …

DNA barcoding‐based species delimitation increases species count of Eois (Geometridae) moths in a well‐studied tropical mountain forest by up to 50%
The genus Eois comprises an important part of megadiverse assemblages of geometrid
moths in mountain rainforests of southern Ecuador. In this study we report:(i) on the …

DNA Barcode Sequencing from Old Type Specimens as a Tool in Taxonomy: A Case Study in the Diverse Genus Eois (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
In this study we report on the sequencing of the COI barcode region from 96 historical
specimens (92 type specimens+ 4 non-types) of Eois. Eois is a diverse clade of tropical …

Similarity in volatile communities leads to increased herbivory and greater tropical forest diversity
A longstanding paradigm in ecology is that there are positive associations between
herbivore diversity, specialization, and plant species diversity, with a focus on taxonomic …

Drastic loss of insects (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) in urban landscapes in a tropical biodiversity hotspot
Accelerating urbanization of natural areasis a particularly important threat to biodiversity in
tropical countries. Understanding how this phenomenon affects different groups of the fauna …

Links between the environment, abundance and diversity of Andean moths
Ideas on the spatial variation of biodiversity often imply a causal link between the
abundance and species richness of organisms. We investigated this 'more individuals …

Phylogenetic diversity of geometrid moths decreases with elevation in the tropical Andes
Species diversity of geometrid moths (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) has previously been
shown to be extremely and constantly high along a continuously forested elevational …

Diversification rates, host plant shifts and an updated molecular phylogeny of Andean Eois moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
Eois is one of the best-investigated genera of tropical moths. Its close association with Piper
plants has inspired numerous studies on life histories, phylogeny and evolutionary biology …

Two ways to be a myrmecophilous butterfly: natural history and comparative immature-stage morphology of two species of Theope (Lepidoptera: Riodinidae)
Symbiotic interactions between butterfly larvae and ants, termed myrmecophily, require a
range of behavioural and morphological adaptations (ant-organs). Here, using light and …
