A molecular phylogeny for the oldest (nonditrysian) lineages of extant Lepidoptera, with implications for classification, comparative morphology and life‐history evolution (2015, background): “Studies of the oldest divergences within the insect order Lepidoptera, based on comprehensive examination of internal as well as external anatomy, represent prominent early applications of Hennigian phylogenetics (Hennig, 1953; Kristensen & Nielsen, 1983; Kristensen, 1984; Davis, 1986; Kobayashi & A”
Seasonality, the latitudinal gradient of diversity, and Eocene insects (2010, background): “…ants (more ant species in Australia than in all the Northern Hemisphere), termites, triatomine bugs, some Lepidoptera, and New World birds (Platnick 1991; Eggleton 1994; Blackburn and Gaston 1996a,b; Gaston and Blackburn 1996; Rodriguero and Gorla 2004; Kristensen et al. 2007; Dunn et al. 2009).”
Pollinator Diversity: Distribution, Ecological Function, and Conservation (2017, background): “In contrast, other groups of pollinators conform to the normal pattern of greatest diversity occurring in the tropics; for example, Lepidoptera species in the Neotropics are approximately five times more diverse (in terms of species per unit area) than those in the Nearctic, as are Indo-Australian f”
Diversity and trait composition of moths respond to land-use intensification in grasslands: generalists replace specialists (2017, background): “Lepidoptera contain more than 160,000 described species and belong to the largest and best-explored arthropod groups (Kristensen et al. 2007; New 2004).”
An annotated catalog of fossil and subfossil Lepidoptera (Insecta: Holometabola) of the world (2012, background): “Even with amber and trace fossils included, the total fossil record of lepidopterans appears to be much poorer than those of other major insect orders (Labandeira and Sepkoski 1993; Kristensen et al. 2007).”
Molecular phylogenetics of Erebidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea) (2012, background): “This broad concept of the Noctuidae became partially accepted, and was applied by a few authors, such as Kristensen et al. (2007) in their general review of Lepidoptera classification and Powell & Opler (2009) in their book on the moths of western North America.”
Order Lepidoptera Linnaeus, 1758. In : Zhang, Z.-Q. (Ed.) Animal biodiversity: An outline of higher-level classification and survey of taxonomic richness (2011, background): “The classification largely follows that in the Handbook of Zoology (Kristensen 1998), and the later update (Kristensen et al. 2007).”
