Fossil-calibrated molecular phylogenies reveal that leaf-mining moths radiated millions of years after their host plants.
Coevolution has been hypothesized as the main driving force for the remarkable diversity of insect-plant associations. Dating of insect and plant phylogenies allows us to test coevolutionary hypotheses and distinguish between the contemporaneous radiation of interacting lineages vs. insect 'host tracking' of previously diversified plants. Here, we used nuclear DNA to reconstruct a molecular phy...
متن کاملCorrelation between the green‐island phenotype and Wolbachia infections during the evolutionary diversification of Gracillariidae leaf‐mining moths
Internally feeding herbivorous insects such as leaf miners have developed the ability to manipulate the physiology of their host plants in a way to best meet their metabolic needs and compensate for variation in food nutritional composition. For instance, some leaf miners can induce green-islands on yellow leaves in autumn, which are characterized by photosynthetically active green patches in o...
متن کاملSex attractant, distribution and DNA barcodes for the Afrotropical leaf-mining moth Phyllonorycter melanosparta (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae)
The sex attractant for Phyllonorycter melanosparta (Meyrick, 1912) has been determined as (10E)-dodec-10-en-1-yl acetate and (10E)-dodec-10-en-1-ol combined in a ratio 10:1. The distribution of this species in Eastern Africa is updated and its presence in Kenya is recorded for the first time. We discuss the taxonomic status of P. melanosparta with reference to three character sets: semiochemica...
متن کامل(Z)-9-Dodecenyl Acetate, a Component of the Sex Pheromone of Cnephasia longana Haworth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Since the end of the seventies, in the Federal R e public of Germany, considerable damage caused by tortricid moths of the genus Cnephasia (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) has been observed on a number of species of cereals. Pfalz and Rheinhessen were the main gradation areas for the omnivorous leaf tier, Cnephasia longana, and cereal leaf roller, C. pumicana. In these areas, the both insect species...
متن کاملChemical constituents of the leaf and flower oils from Anthemis altissima L. var. altissima from Iran
About 130 species of genus Anthemis occur throughout the world. Thirty-nine of them could be found in flora of Iran. According to literature, this species was not the subject of research up to now and therefore its chemical composition is not well known. However, flavonoids, polyphenolic acids, terpene and sesquiterpene compounds were reported to be the major constituents of some other species ...
