Abstract Butterflies are important bioindicators that can be used to monitor the effects of climate change, particularly in montane environments. Changes in butterfly population size over time, reflective of indicator life stages, can signal changes that have occurred or are occurring in their environment indicating ecosystem health.

Reduced size in a montane butterfly at its warm range boundaries
Individuals of E. epiphron are 7%–8% smaller in England than in Scotland, and warmer sites also had smaller individuals. We found no effect of temporal temperature on body size during larval development, and no difference in body size variation between the two regions.

НОВЫЕ ВИДЫ PAPILIONOIDEA (LEPIDOPTERA) В ФАУНЕ АЛТАЙСКОГО КРАЯ (РОССИЯ)
Впервые для фауны Алтайского края приводятся три вида булавоусых чешуекрылых (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea): Erebia maurisius (Esper, [1803]) (Satyridae), Issoria eugenia (Eversmann, 1847) (Nymphalidae) и Agriades glandon (de Prunner, 1798) (Lycaenidae).

We provide evidence of asymmetric gene flow from Melitaea phoebe to M. ornata and, especially, to M. pseudornata, for which gene flow may have affected a high proportion of its genome. Gene flow was not equally distributed along the genome: the Z chromosome showed patterns compatible with the large‐Z effect.

A single male of de Prunner’s Ringlet Erebia triaria (de Prunner, 1798) was discovered in the lower part of the Jadovska River Valley, near the Selce village in NW part of Macedonia.

Glacial refugia are centers of high biodiversity. Therefore, knowledge on their locations and reactions of associated populations and landscapes to climatic changes is crucial for conservation management.

Range‐wide population genomic structure of the Karner blue butterfly, Plebejus (Lycaeides) samuelis
The Karner blue butterfly, Plebejus (Lycaeides) samuelis, is an endangered, climate change‐vulnerable species that has undergone substantial historical habitat loss and population decline. We performed a range‐wide assessment of genomic diversity and found that Karner blue populations had high levels of inbreeding and lower genetic diversity than ...

Abstract Replicated secondary contact zones can provide insights into the barriers to gene flow that are important during speciation and can reveal to which degree secondary contact may result in similar evolutionary outcomes. Here, we studied two secondary contact zones between highly differentiated Alpine butterflies of the genus Erebia using whole ...
