## Swallowtail butterflies of the tribe Papilionini number about 225 species and are currently used as model organisms in several research areas, including genetics, chemical ecology and phylogenetics of host plant utilization and mimicry, mechanisms of speciation, and conservation. We have inferr

As a f i r s t step in the study of chorion composition, biochemical development and morphogenesis, we have studied the proteins of moth chorions (eggshells).

Reproduction in moths and butterflies is a dynamic process that is influenced by various endogenous physiological processes and exogenous factors. The Lepidoptera may be divided into four distinct groups based on their gonadotropic hormones and other reproductive and biological characteristics, rega
Molecular sequence data from three gene fragments were used to examine critically a provisional phylogenetic classification based on morphological characters of the Geometridae, one of the most species-rich families of moths. The sister group relationship between Geometridae and Drepanidae gained fu
