Genome-wide analysis of ionotropic receptors provides insight into their evolution in Heliconius butterflies. [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: In a world of chemical cues, smell and taste are essential senses for survival. Here we focused on Heliconius, a diverse group of butterflies that exhibit variation in pre- and post-zygotic isolation and chemically-mediated behaviors across ...

Hearing in Caterpillars of the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus)
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2019 Many species of caterpillars have been reported to respond to sound, but there has been limited formal study of what sounds they hear, how they hear them, and how they respond to them. Here we report on hearing in caterpillars of the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus).

Effects on Fitness and Behavior of Monarch Butterfly Larvae Exposed to a Combination of Cry1Ab-Expressing Corn Anthers and Pollen [PDF]
, 2005 Anthers and pollen from corn, Zea mays L., expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-derived protein frequently fall onto common milkweed, Asclepias syriaca L., growing in and near corn fields. Previous studies have shown that, alone, Bt anthers do not pose

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We analyzed annual overwintering counts in California to understand monarch population fluctuations. Climate and density‐dependent factors explain 64% of annual variability across groves, with density dependence being the primary driver. Within groves, tree characteristics and microclimate significantly influence monarch habitat selection, with ...

Specialized ommatidia of the polarization-sensitive dorsal rim area in the eye of monarch butterflies have non-functional reflecting tapeta [PDF]
, 2009 Many insects exploit sky light polarization for navigation or cruising-course control. The detection of polarized sky light is mediated by the ommatidia of a small specialized part of the compound eye: the dorsal rim area (DRA).

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...
