Life stage hypothesis modeling determines insect vulnerability during developmental life stages to climate extremes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2025.
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

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 983-988, December 2024.
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.

Can species endure massive introgression? Genomic evidence of asymmetric gene flow in Melitaea butterflies

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 583-595, October 2024.
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.

De Prunner’s Ringlet Erebia triaria (de Prunner, 1798) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) – a new species for the Republic of Macedonia

open access: yesNatura Sloveniae, 2014
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.

Reconstruction of forest dynamics in the Western Palaearctic based on phylogeographic analysis of the ringlet butterfly Erebia aethiops

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
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

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
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 ...

Beyond gene flow: (non)‐parallelism of secondary contact in a pair of highly differentiated sibling species

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 17, September 2024.
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 ...
