Sex pheromone biosynthetic pathways are conserved between moths and the butterfly Bicyclus anynana [PDF]
Although phylogenetically nested within the moths, butterflies have diverged extensively in a number of life history traits. Whereas moths rely greatly on chemical signals, visual advertisement is the hallmark of mate finding in butterflies.

Abstract Accelerated biodiversity loss has destabilized functional links within and between ecosystems. Species that cross different ecosystems during migration between breeding and nonbreeding sites are particularly sensitive to global change because they are exposed to various, often ecosystem‐specific, threats.

The flowers of African and Asian Gynandropsis gynandra accessions differ in fragrance and epidermal cell morphology (i.e., papillae). Abstract Flowering plants showcase a remarkable diversity in floral fragrances, colours, and structures, which function harmoniously as signals to attract and guide pollinators. Like visual signals, the scents emitted by

Danaus βουγενής: Greco-Egyptian Mythology and Ptolemaic Kingship.
Callimachus fr.54, in calling Berenice II βουγενής, evokes not only Danaus’ descent from Io but further the Apis cult and that of Dionysus at Argos, important to the Ptolemies, and finally Empedocles’ vision of the evolution of orderly life.

Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

Female Behaviour Drives Expression and Evolution of Gustatory Receptors in Butterflies [PDF]
Secondary plant compounds are strong deterrents of insect oviposition and feeding, but may also be attractants for specialist herbivores. These insect-plant interactions are mediated by insect gustatory receptors (Grs) and olfactory receptors (Ors).

We studied the response of Battus polydamas (Papilionidae) larvae fed on Aristolochia ringens (containing several diterpenes) and Aristolochia gigantea (containing sesquiterpenes and acyclic monoterpenoids but no diterpenoids or aristolochic acids). We assessed larval performance on fitness components such as survival and differential gene expression ...
