Butterfly abundance declines over 20 years of systematic monitoring in Ohio, USA
bioRxiv, 2019 Severe insect declines make headlines, but they are rarely based on systematic monitoring outside of Europe. We estimate the rate of change in total butterfly abundance and the population trends for 81 species using 21 years of systematic monitoring in ...

Chaos in the butterfly cone [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 A simple probe of chaos and operator growth in many-body quantum systems is the out of time ordered four point function. In a large class of local systems, the effects of chaos in this correlator build up exponentially fast inside the so called butterfly

Rainfall but not selective logging affect changes in abundance of tropical forest butterfly in Sabah, Borneo [PDF]
, 2003 We investigated the effects of rainfall on the distribution and abundance of the satyrine butterfly Ragadia makuta in selectively logged and unlogged forest on Borneo. In 1997-98, there was a severe El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) drought, and annual

Evaluating costs of heavy metal tolerance in a widely distributed, invasive butterfly
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Organismal tolerance to environmental pollution is thought to be constrained by fitness costs, where variants with higher survival in polluted environments have lower performance in nonpolluted environments.
