Lepidoptera

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Spatial orientation based on multiple visual cues in non-migratory monarch butterflies
    Myriam Franzke, Christian Kraus, David Dreyer, Keram Pfeiffer, M. Jerome Beetz, Anna L. Stöckl, James J. Foster, Eric J. Warrant, Basil el Jundi
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb223800 doi: 10.1242/jeb.223800 Published 19 June 2020

    Summary: Non-migrating butterflies keep directed courses when viewing a simulated sun or panoramic scene. This suggests that they orient based on multiple visual cues independent of their migratory context.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Microclimate buffering and thermal tolerance across elevations in a tropical butterfly
    Gabriela Montejo-Kovacevich, Simon H. Martin, Joana I. Meier, Caroline N. Bacquet, Monica Monllor, Chris D. Jiggins, Nicola J. Nadeau
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb220426 doi: 10.1242/jeb.220426 Published 16 April 2020

    Editors' Choice: Tropical forests along the Andes can greatly buffer climate. Butterflies inhabiting high elevations are less thermally tolerant but common-garden experiments suggest this is largely due to phenotypic plasticity.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Hearing in caterpillars of the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus)
    Chantel J. Taylor, Jayne E. Yack
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb211862 doi: 10.1242/jeb.211862 Published 21 November 2019

    Highlighted Article: Monarch butterfly caterpillars use specialized hairs on their thorax to detect sounds, and respond by freezing and flicking – behaviours that are thought to prevent attacks by flying insect predators.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Effects of natural wing damage on flight performance in Morpho butterflies: what can it tell us about wing shape evolution?
    Camille Le Roy, Raphaël Cornette, Violaine Llaurens, Vincent Debat
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb204057 doi: 10.1242/jeb.204057 Published 21 August 2019

    Summary: Investigation of natural wing damage in Morpho butterflies shows that flight performance depends on damage location, indicating that different wing parts play different roles during flight.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Context dependency of in-flight responses by Manduca sexta moths to ambient differences in relative humidity
    Michael S. Wolfin, Robert A. Raguso, Goggy Davidowitz, Joaquin Goyret
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb177774 doi: 10.1242/jeb.177774 Published 12 June 2018

    Summary: Manduca sexta hawkmoths orient toward currents of air with higher relative humidity during upwind flight in a wind tunnel, but floral sensory stimuli override this behavior.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Sources of variance in immunological traits: evidence of congruent latitudinal trends across species
    Hendrik Meister, Toomas Tammaru, Siiri-Lii Sandre, Dalial Freitak
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2606-2615; doi: 10.1242/jeb.154310

    Summary: Geographic variability of immune responses in moths is species specific and suggests trade-offs with life-history traits.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Transcriptome profiling reveals mechanisms for the evolution of insect seasonality
    Crista B. Wadsworth, Erik B. Dopman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3611-3622; doi: 10.1242/jeb.126136

    Summary: Evolutionary changes to the timing of diapause will be key for insects to adapt to a globally warming climate; putative loci responsible for timing shifts are identified.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The rectal complex and Malpighian tubules of the cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni): regional variations in Na+ and K+ transport and cation reabsorption by secondary cells
    Michael J. O'Donnell, Esau Ruiz-Sanchez
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3206-3214; doi: 10.1242/jeb.128314

    Highlighted article: Scanning ion-selective electrode technique analysis of the intact excretory system of cabbage looper larvae reveals regional variations in Na+ and K+ transport and a novel function for the secondary cells.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Dynamic digestive physiology of a female reproductive organ in a polyandrous butterfly
    Melissa S. Plakke, Aaron B. Deutsch, Camille Meslin, Nathan L. Clark, Nathan I. Morehouse
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1548-1555; doi: 10.1242/jeb.118323

    Highlighted article: The bursa copulatrix, a female reproductive organ that processes the male ejaculate in butterflies and moths, exhibits extreme state-dependent proteolytic activity using a complement of nine highly expressed proteases.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Sex pheromones in mate assessment: analysis of nutrient cost of sex pheromone production by females of the moth Heliothis virescens
    Stephen P. Foster, Karin G. Anderson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1252-1258; doi: 10.1242/jeb.119883

    Summary: Pheromone biosynthesis uses insignificant quantities of the nutrients available and therefore imposes negligible metabolic cost to the moth Heliothis virescens.
