Spatial and temporal exposure to climatic extremes shape butterfly thermal physiology and vulnerability to recent climate change

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Whether the limits of species' ranges and their seasonal activity reflect physiological tolerance of climatic extremes is a long‐standing question in ecology and has implications for species' responses to recent climate change. We explored these associations in butterflies, using thermal tolerance traits and traits describing geographic distribution ...

Beneficial Insect Attraction to Milkweeds (Asclepias speciosa, Asclepias fascicularis) in Washington State, USA

Insects, 2016
Native plant and beneficial insect associations are relatively unstudied yet are important in native habitat restoration programs for improving and sustaining conservation biological control of arthropod pests in agricultural crops.

Does Low-Density Grazing Affect Butterfly (Lepidoptera) Colonization of a Previously Flooded Tallgrass Prairie Reconstruction? [PDF]

, 2018
Conservation of wildlife in managed landscapes can be facilitated by partnering with livestock producers to introduce grazing disturbances. The effects of grazing in grassland systems, however, are often a function of other disturbances that may occur ...

Butterflies Across the Globe: A Synthesis of the Current Status and Characteristics of Monarch (Danaus plexippus) Populations Worldwide

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Recent declines in the migratory North American populations of monarchs (Danaus plexippus) have necessitated efforts to evaluate the current status of the species, including worldwide populations.

Haldane's rule in the 21st century [PDF]

, 2011
Haldane's Rule (HR), which states that 'when in the offspring of two different animal races one sex is absent, rare, or sterile, that sex is the heterozygous (heterogametic) sex', is one of the most general patterns in speciation biology.

Resistance and Tolerance to Imperfectly Specialized Parasites: Milkweed Butterflies and Their Protozoan Parasites

Ecology and Evolution
Understanding host specificity and cross‐species transmission of parasites is crucial for predicting the risk and consequences of parasite spillover. We experimentally examined these dynamics in two closely related, sympatric, milkweed butterfly hosts ...
