The paper measures the growth rate of parasitised and non-parasitised caterpillars feeding on oak trees and finds parasitoids reduce growth rate on average across six Lepidoptera species.

This study investigates how two tropical butterflies use humidity as a cue for seasonal wing pattern plasticity, finding species-specific mechanisms.

The paper shows that humidity, not temperature, regulates eyespot size in butterflies from populations where temperature is unreliable, and finds local adaptation in cue use and life history traits.

The paper examines inter-annual abundance variation in noctuid moths, finding that larger and polymorphic species show less variation, while feeding preferences influence peak abundance timing.
