Despite taxonomy's 250‐year history, the past 20 years have borne witness to remarkable
advances in technology and techniques, as well as debate. DNA barcoding has generated a …

Insects comprise the largest species composition in the entire animal kingdom and possess
a vast undiscovered genetic diversity and gene pool that can be better explored using …

Global warming is predicted to cause distributional changes in organisms whose
geographic ranges are controlled by temperature. We report a recent latitudinal and …

Conservation genetics focuses on the effects of contemporary genetic structuring on long‐
term survival of a species. It helps wildlife managers protect biodiversity by identifying a …

The paradox of successful invading species is that they are likely to be genetically
depauperate compared to their source population. This study on Colorado potato beetles is …

It is difficult to find a genus of Lepidoptera showing the high variability of life history traits
observed in Thaumetopoea. There are typical summer feeding close to winter feeding …

Background Quaternary climatic oscillations had dramatic effects on species evolution. In
northern latitudes, populations had to survive the coldest periods in refugial areas and …

As this book's introduction clearly illustrates, processionary moths have long been
organisms of interest and the subject of research. This is because of the severe skin irritation …

Aim Conventional species distribution models (SDMs) usually focus on the species level but
disregard intraspecific variability. Phylogeographic structure and evolutionary significant …

The climate change may indirectly affects the forest ecosystems through the activity of
phytophagous insects. The climate change has been claimed to be responsible of the range …
