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 ...

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

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.

A microbial view on secondary contact between two Alpine butterflies [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionBackground Widespread sympatry between sibling species can be limited if they are ecologically too close, potentially leading to the formation of narrow zones of secondary contact.

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