Past, current, and potential future distributions of unique genetic diversity in a cold‐adapted mountain butterfly

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Aim Climatic changes throughout the Pleistocene have strongly modified species distributions. We examine how these range shifts have affected the genetic diversity of a montane butterfly species and whether the genetic diversity in the extant populations

Ecological Analysis of Butterfl ies and Day-Flying Moths Diversity of the Gouraya National Park (Algeria)

open access: yesZoodiversity, 2021
This work represents an initial analysis of butterflies and day-flying moths of the Gouraya National Park (Algeria). Forty - eight field-surveys were made between February 2011 and January 2012, in three stations (the cliff, the low matorral and the high

Water Availability Coincides with Population Declines for an Endangered Butterfly

open access: yesDiversity, 2018
As global climate change causes population declines across numerous taxa, it becomes critical to understand the specific pathway by which climatic and anthropogenic factors influence population size.

Evaluating costs of heavy metal tolerance in a widely distributed, invasive butterfly

open access: yesEvolutionary 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.

Butterflies and Hybernation [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 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.

First identification of Parnassius apollo and P. nomion (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) larval host plants in Mongolia

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2020
We initiated a project to study the ecology of P. apollo and the more common congener P. nomion, which is sympatric in Mongolia. One of our primary goals was to gather data on P. apollo and P.

Butterfly Counting in Bipartite Networks [PDF]

open access: yesKnowledge Discovery and Data Mining, 2017
We consider the problem of counting motifs in bipartite affiliation networks, such as author-paper, user-product, and actor-movie relations. We focus on counting the number of occurrences of a "butterfly", a complete 2x2 biclique, the simplest cohesive ...
