Ecology and Society, 2001 The distributions of most pollinator species are poorly documented despite their importance in providing ecosystem services. While these and other organisms are threatened by many aspects of the human enterprise, anthropogenic climate change is ...

Finding the forgotten gems: revisiting the butterflies of Matheran after 125 years with introduction to novel colour barcode for depicting seasons and activity of the Indian butterflies [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020 We present here an updated checklist for the butterflies of Matheran, Maharashtra, India, an eco-sensitive zone, with identification remarks for locally rare or very rare butterflies.

Molecular logic behind the three-way stochastic choices that expand butterfly colour vision. [PDF]
, 2016 Butterflies rely extensively on colour vision to adapt to the natural world. Most species express a broad range of colour-sensitive Rhodopsin proteins in three types of ommatidia (unit eyes), which are distributed stochastically across the retina.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE BUTTERFLIES [PDF]
The Canadian Entomologist, 1900 In the course of my already-published studies, the probabilities as to the homology of the last anal vein of the Papilionides primary have varied. From preparations of the pupal wing of the Hesperiades, it has become clear that the fork to second anal at base is the remains of the third anal vein, which is irregular and more extended in the fore wing ...

Nature, 1894 REFERRING to “Delta's” note, I may say that in the fine weather which we had here in April, the small tortoise-shell butterfly appeared more numerously than ever I had witnessed it at that season, or indeed at any time. I recollect counting a dozen at one time on a small bush of Andromeda floribunda then in flower.

Protected areas do not mitigate biodiversity declines: A case study on butterflies
Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2018 To assess the effectiveness of protected areas in preventing biodiversity decline. We first test whether species richness of butterfly assemblages is higher within European Natura 2000 (N2000) sites than in their surroundings.

A major gene controls mimicry and crypsis in butterflies and moths
Nature, 2016 Wing colour patterning of multiple species in the butterfly genus Heliconius is controlled by differential expression of the gene cortex, a member of a conserved family of cell cycle regulators.

Butterflies and Hybernation [PDF]
Nature, 1896 SOME time late in last autumn, a tortoiseshell butterfly took refuge in a small bath room in this house, established itself on, the ceiling, and there remained, immovable, throughout the winter. On the 10th of this month it shifted its position, and on the 12th flew out of the open window.
