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

Insect brain plasticity: effects of olfactory input on neuropil size [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2019
Insect brains are known to express a high degree of experience-dependent structural plasticity. One brain structure in particular, the mushroom body (MB), has been attended to in numerous studies as it is implicated in complex cognitive processes such as

Egg distribution in the large copper butterfly Lycaena dispar batavus (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae): Host plant versus habitat mediated effects

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2000
The large copper butterfly, Lycaena dispar batavus, a subspecies of much conservation interest, is host-specific to the great water dock, Rumex hydrolapathum, but little is known of the relationship between herbivore and host in wild populations.

Evaluating the Migration Mortality Hypothesis Using Monarch Tagging Data

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The decline in the eastern North American population of the monarch butterfly population since the late 1990s has been attributed to the loss of milkweed during the summer breeding season and the consequent reduction in the size of the summer population ...

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.

Range expansion, habitat use, and choosiness in a butterfly under climate change: Marginality and tolerance of oviposition site selection

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Poleward range shifts under climate change involve the colonization of new sites and hence the foundation of new populations at the expanding edge. We studied oviposition site selection in a butterfly under range expansion (Lycaena dispar), a key process
