1. Moths (L epidoptera) are the major nocturnal pollinators of flowers. However, their
importance and contribution to the provision of pollination ecosystem services may have …

In the absence of much passive stability, flying insects rely upon active stabilisation,
necessitating the provision of rich sensory feedback across a range of modalities. Here we …

Flight of moths to artificial sources of light is one of the most conspicuous ecological
consequences of nocturnal lighting. This behavior carries risks not only for individual moths …

Every aspect of vision, from the opsin proteins to the eyes and the ways that they serve
animal behavior, is incredibly diverse. It is only with an evolutionary perspective that this …

Ecological studies investigating the effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) have primarily
focused on single or a few species, and seldom on community-level dynamics. As ALAN is a …

A crepuscular or nocturnal lifestyle has evolved in bees several times independently,
probably to explore rewarding pollen sources without competition and to minimize predation …

The phylogenetic relationships within the Arthropoda have been controversial for more than
a century. Today, comparative studies on the structure and development of the nervous …

Within natural environments, animals must be able to respond to a wide range of obstacles
in their path. Such responses require sensory information to facilitate appropriate and …

Many animals have developed systems for sensing environmental conditions during
evolution. In sensory cells, receptor molecules are responsible for their sensing abilities. In …

Gene expression has been employed for homologizing body regions across bilateria. The
molecular comparison of vertebrate and fly brains has led to a number of disputed homology …
