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 ...

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

Unrecorded Butterfly Species and Potential Local Extinctions: The Role of Citizen Science and Sampling. [PDF]
Ecol Evol30,351 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.

Mitochondrial DNA-based phylogeography of the large ringlet Erebia euryale (Esper, 1805) suggests recurrent Alpine-Carpathian disjunctions during Pleistocene (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) [PDF]
Nota Lepidopterologica, 2022 Most species of the butterfly genus Erebia are high altitude specialists, in which territorial fragmentation is associated with distinct genetic patterns.

Three in one-multiple faunal elements within an endangered european butterfly species [PDF]
, 2015 Ice ages within Europe forced many species to retreat to refugia, of which three major biogeographic basic types can be distinguished: "Mediterranean", "Continental" and "Alpine / Arctic" species.

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