Co‐Occurring Sister Taxa of Mountain Butterflies Exhibit Distinct Cuticular Hydrocarbon Profiles [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionInvisible to human perception, differentiation in chemical traits such as insects cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) might contribute to speciation. The species‐rich mountain butterfly genus Erebia represents a well‐established model for studying speciation ...

Not Too Warm, Not Too Cold: Thermal Treatments to Slightly Warmer or Colder Conditions from Mother’s Origin Can Enhance Performance of Montane Butterfly Larvae [PDF]
Biology, 2022 Climate change alters organismal performance via shifts in temperature. However, we know little about the relative fitness impacts of climate variability and how cold-adapted ectotherms mediate these effects.

Exploring Cold Hardiness within a Butterfly Clade: Supercooling Ability and Polyol Profiles in European Satyrinae [PDF]
Insects, 2022 The cold hardiness of overwintering stages affects the distribution of temperate and cold-zone insects. Studies on Erebia, a species-rich cold-zone butterfly genus, detected unexpected diversity of cold hardiness traits.

Low winter precipitation, but not warm autumns and springs, threatens mountain butterflies in middle-high mountains [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Low-elevation mountains represent unique model systems to study species endangered by climate warming, such as subalpine and alpine species of butterflies.

European Journal of Entomology, 2009 Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for the butterfly Erebia palarica (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae), endemic to NW Spain. Polymorphism for 20 individuals from a NW Spanish population (Ancares) and 15 more from two other nearby localities ...

Phylogenetic relatedness of Erebia medusa and E. epipsodea (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) confirmed
European Journal of Entomology, 2013 The extensive genus Erebia is divided into several groups of species according to phylogenetic relatedness. The species Erebia medusa was assigned to the medusa group and E. epipsodea to the alberganus group.

Ecology and EvolutionSympatric species are often found either to broadly match or to differ remarkably in their phylogeographic patterns. However, sometimes they show ‘phylogeographic pseudo‐concordance’, that is, they share the same geographic arrangement of population ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2015 Erebia euryale (Esper, 1805) is a montane-zone representative of a Holarctic butterfly genus the species of which occur mainly in alpine areas. As in many mountain insects, E.

Permeability of habitat edges for Ringlet butterflies (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Erebia Dalman 1816) in an alpine landscape [PDF]
Nota Lepidopterologica, 2020 We tracked the movements of adult Ringlet butterflies (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Erebia Dalman, 1816) in high-elevation (> 1800 meters a.s.l.) grasslands in the Austrian Alps in order to test if an anthropogenic boundary (= an asphalt road) had a ...
