A macroevolutionary role for chromosomal fusion and fission in <i>Erebia</i> butterflies. [PDF]
The impact of large-scale chromosomal rearrangements, such as fusions and fissions, on speciation is a long-standing conundrum. We assessed whether bursts of change in chromosome numbers resulting from chromosomal fusion or fission are related to ...

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

Unrecorded Butterfly Species and Potential Local Extinctions: The Role of Citizen Science and Sampling. [PDF]
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]
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]
Most species of the butterfly genus Erebia are high altitude specialists, in which territorial fragmentation is associated with distinct genetic patterns.

Understanding the factors restricting the distribution of some insect species to high altitudes is hindered by poor knowledge of temporal changes in their cold hardiness during overwintering.
