Average habitat requirements of the butterfly and burnet moth species’ larval host plants confirmed the breakpoint in 1955. After 1955, the proportion of species associated with plants of higher light requirements, continentality (i.e. species depending on more continental climatic conditions, such ...
Insects use sex pheromones as a reproductive isolating mechanism to attract conspecifics and repel heterospecifics. Despite the profound knowledge of sex pheromones, little is known about the coevolutionary mechanisms and constraints on their production
Light pollution as a proxy of human presence and activity (Longcore and Rich 2004) was determined based on the visible infrared imaging radiometer suite supplied by the Earth Observations Group (NOAA National Geophysical Data Center). The raster layer contains the average radiance based on night-...

Fig. 5: Effect of extreme temperatures on survival rates of the wild-type (WT, green) andPxCad-deficient (MU, blue) diamondback moth strains. Survival rates of diamondback moth are presented for males (left) and females (right) after exposure to low temperatures (T = −14 °C,...
Some other alternatives that have shown good results in various applications are the Wolf Algorithm (WA), Butterfly Algorithm (BA), Krill Algorithm (KA), and Moth Search Algorithm (MSA) [1,5,6]. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, proposed by Kennedy and Eberhart in 1995, is...
