Our goal is to use the most promising candidates for resolving deep-level relationships within Noctuoidea, Bombycoidea and Macrolepidoptera generally. |
Smaller microlepidoptera were compressed whole while larger microand macrolepidoptera had one fore and hind wing removed for preservation. |
This study suggests that macrolepidoptera may be using specific needle terpenes, or groups of terpenes, as egg-laying cues. |
Night-active Macrolepidoptera fauna has been studied for more than 40 years. |
