An Overview of Genus-Level Taxonomic Problems Surrounding <I>Argyroploce</I> Hübner (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), with Description of a New…
2002
Argyroploce unedana Baixeras, new species, is described from the Iberian Peninsula. The species is closely related to A. arbutella (L., 1758), which occurs on most of the European continent; the two species are allopatric. Although they share similar biologies, the two can be distinguished by structures of the male and female genitalia. Genitalia variability is analyzed. Forewing patterns and hindwing anal roll are discussed in relation to their systematic significance. The olethreutine wing pattern is reexamined. A review of the genus-level taxonomic problems surrounding Argyroploce Hubner, [1825] and allied genera suggests a fragile situation in the present systematic scenario within the …
Parasitization ofEphestia kuehniellaZeller (Lep., Pyralidae) byPhanerotoma (Phanerotoma) ocularisKohl (Hym., Braconidae)
1993
Laboratory studies of the parasitism by P. (P.) ocularis into E. kuehniella showed that this parasitoid had a great capacity to parasitize the host. Real parasitism rate turned between 84.5% and 100% whereas effective parasitism and adult emergence rate were, comparatively, lower. Superparasitism rate was low (16.57 %).

Parasitismus, Superparasitismus und Schlupfraten Laboruntersuchungen zur Parasitierung von Ephestia kuehniella durch P.

Nota sobre tortrícidos ibéricos del género Pammene Hübner, [1825] (Lepidoptera : Tortricidae)
2006
Se dan a conocer dos especies de Tortricidae (Olethreutinae, Grapholitini) del género Pammene Hübner, [1825]: P. obscurana (Stephens, 1834) y P. suspectana ([Lienig] & Zeller, 1846). Éstas se diagnosticaron mediante el estudio de la genitalia de ejemplares masculinos capturados en Cataluña en trampas delta de base pegajosa, cebadas con feromona sexual de Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus, 1758) y de Grapholita molesta (Busck, 1916). La primera es nueva para Cataluña (España); la segunda lo es para la fauna íbero-balear. Two species of Tortricidae (Olethreutinae, Grapholitini) belonging to the genus Pammene Hübner, [1825]: P. obscurana (Stephens, 1834) and P. suspectana ([Lienig] & Zeller, 1846) are…
Contribución al estudio de la familia Tortricidae Latreille, 1803 (Lepidoptera), con especial referencia a la fauna neotropical
2015
La familia Tortricidae Latreille es uno de los grupos de lepidópteros más diversos con alrededor de 10.000 especies, distribuidas en tres subfamilias (Chlidanotinae, Tortricinae y Olethreutinae), 20 tribus y más de 1070 géneros. Dentro de esta familia se encuentran plagas de gran importancia económica como el gusano de las yemas del abeto, Choristoneura fumiferana Clemens 1865 (Tortricinae: Archipini), y el gusano de la manzana, Cydia pomonella L. 1758 (Olethreutinae: Grapholitini). La clasificación de esta familia está basada en caracteres morfológicos, principalmente en los genitalia de los machos y la venación alar. Recientemente la filogenia del grupo ha recibido especial atención desde…

2019
A catalogue of the Castniidae (Lepidoptera) in the California Academy of Sciences, with general and historical comments. The material representing 168 specimens with 46 species and subspecies belonging to the Castniidae (Lepidoptera) deposited in the California Academy of Sciences was studied. A brief comment on the history of Academy is provided, as well as general comments on natural history, distribution and other details for each mentioned species and subspecies.

Analysing the origins of the strong variability of impact by Tischeria ekebladella, a common mining moth on oak leaves.
2015
Tischeria ekebladella (Lepidoptera : Gracillariidae) is a common moth with its caterpillar often mining oak leaves, morerarely chestnut leaves. As a rule, the mining impact of the species exhibits strong variations according to locations,inviting to investigate quantitatively the respective contributions of the three main factors that regulate the level of minesdensity within host. As the direct monitoring in the fi eld of these governing factors is very diffi cult (when not virtuallyimpossible), we use a newly designed procedure (“MELBA”) which allows tracing back to these factors indirectly, on thebasis of posterior, easily recorded data (in terms of the histogram of the distribution of t…
Immunological priming in the wood tiger moth (Parasemia plantaginis)
2014
Hyönteisiin lukeutuu monia merkittäviä tuholaisia, taudinvälittäjiä ja hyödyllisiä lajeja, minkä takia hyönteisten taudit, taudinaiheuttajat ja immuunipuolustus ovat ekologisesta, ekonomisesta ja lääketieteellisestä näkökulmasta tärkeitä tutkimuskohteita. Viimeaikaiset tutkimukset paljastavat hyönteisten ja muiden selkärangattomien immuunijärjestelmien pystyvän erikoistumaan ja luomaan pitkäkestoista immuniteettia. Jälkimmäinen ilmiö tunnetaan tieteellisissä artikkeleissa nimellä ”immunological priming”, jonka voisi kääntää suomeksi esimerkiksi ”immuunipohjustukseksi”. Immuunipohjustus on muistinkaltaista vastustuskykyä, joka auttaa elimistöä puolustautumaan tehokkaammin toistuvia tartuntoj…
