The genome sequence of the Piedmont Ringlet, Erebia meolans von Prunner, 1798 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Erebia meolans (Piedmont Ringlet; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 512.88 megabases and 439.35 megabases. Most of haplotype 1

Phylogeographic analyses reveal recent dispersal and multiple Wolbachia infections of the bright-eyed ringlet Erebia oeme within the European mountain systems [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The genus Erebia comprises numerous species in Europe. Due to preference of cold environments, most species have disjunct distributions in the European mountain systems. However, their biogeographical patterns may differ significantly.

Wolbachia Host Shifts and Widespread Occurrence of Reproductive Manipulation Loci in European Butterflies. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Wolbachia is the most frequent bacterial endosymbiont of arthropods and nematodes. Although it is mostly vertically transmitted, from parent to offspring through the egg cytoplasm, horizontal transfer of Wolbachia is thought to be common over evolutionary timescales.

Holocentric repeat landscapes: From micro-evolutionary patterns to macro-evolutionary associations with karyotype evolution. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
Abstract Repetitive elements can cause large‐scale chromosomal rearrangements, for example through ectopic recombination, potentially promoting reproductive isolation and speciation. Species with holocentric chromosomes, that lack a localized centromere, might be more likely to retain chromosomal rearrangements that lead to karyotype changes such as ...

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 ...

Unrecorded Butterfly Species and Potential Local Extinctions: The Role of Citizen Science and Sampling. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
30,351 data from 1825 to 2022 were used to assess community changes in Aosta Valley. 2.9% of the butterfly community risks extinction. Butterfly extinction risks increase when the altitudinal range decreases. ABSTRACT Estimating species extinction risk is crucial to reverse biodiversity loss and to adopt proper conservation measures.

Wing morphology and eyespot pattern of Erebia medusa (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) vary along an elevation gradient in the Carpathian Mountains [PDF]

Nota Lepidopterologica, 2022
Butterfly wings play a crucial role during flight, but also in thermoregulation, intraspecific signalling and interaction with predators, all of which vary across different habitat types and may be reflected in wing morphology or colour pattern.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of an endemic species in China, Aulocera merlina (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) and phylogenetic analysis within Satyrinae. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of an endemic species in China, Aulocera merlina (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) was determined and compared with that of other known mitogenomes of Satyrinae species. Moreover, the phylogenetic trees were reconstructed based on the available mitogenome sequences, including the newly ...
