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.

The genome sequence of the de Prunner’s Ringlet, Erebia triaria von Prunner, 1798 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open ResearchWe present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Erebia triaria (de Prunner’s Ringlet; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 521.30 megabases and 412.03 megabases.

Pronounced mito-nuclear discordance and various Wolbachia infections in the water ringlet Erebia pronoe have resulted in a complex phylogeographic structure [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Several morphological and mitochondrial lineages of the alpine ringlet butterfly species Erebia pronoe have been described, indicating a complex phylogenetic structure.

Secondary contact rather than coexistence-Erebia butterflies in the Alps. [PDF]
Evolution, 2022 Secondary contact zones are ideal systems to study the processes that govern the evolution of reproductive barriers, especially at advanced stages of the speciation process.

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 ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 370-385, May 2025.Mark‐release‐recapture data of E. palarica reveals low dispersal rates (<500 m) and small census population sizes (Nc = 303 and 565) in two localities from Serra do Courel (NW Spain). Microsatellite genotypes of four generations (1999–2021) from the population of Alto do Couto, in Serra do Courel, reveal a small effective population size (Ne < 100). E.

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.

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.
