We herein constructed a phylogeny of Lepidoptera synthesizing multiple information types, a phylogenomics backbone, a multigene supermatrix with species‐comprehensive DNA barcodes, and topological information from a compiled database of standardized machine‐readable trees from over 100 previous studies. We then applied the new phylogenetic synthesis as a profiling framework for a large DNA barcode dataset of caterpillars from...

The theta-aurora, an auroral feature bridging the nightside and dayside auroral oval under a northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), is closely linked to the energetic plasma evolving within the magnetosphere. While existing views emphasize that energetic plasma resides on closed field lines, the mechanism by which it is accelerated and precipitates on open field lines to form the theta aurora remains poorly understood....
