Previous macroecological studies have suggested that larger and darker insects are favored
in cold environments and that the importance of body size and color for the absorption of …

Aim The observed decrease in insect colour lightness with increasing latitude has been
explained in earlier macroecological studies by the increased solar absorption of dark …

A high capacity for long‐distance dispersal is a key to success for species confronted with
environmental heterogeneity, habitat modification, fragmentation and loss. However …

Animal colour patterns long have provided information about key processes that drive the
ecological and evolutionary dynamics of biological diversity. Theory and empirical evidence …

Color lightness of insects is an important ecological trait affecting their performance through
multiple functions such as thermoregulation, UV protection and disease resistance. The …

Emergence phenology has been shown to advance considerably in the past decades in
many lepidopterans. Noctuid moths (Noctuidae) constitute a species‐rich family of …

Aim There is little consensus as to whether stratification of arthropods between canopy and
understorey in tropical and subtropical forests is commonplace and if the magnitude of …

Environmental and climatic changes are inducing population declines in numerous species.
However, certain species demonstrate remarkable resilience, exhibiting both population …

Moths are a diverse and abundant species group, playing important functional roles in many
terrestrial ecosystems, as pollinators, herbivores and as bulk food for many other taxa …

Knowing how species' traits relate to processes that underlie occupancy patterns such as
colonisation and population persistence, is important for our understanding of how species …
