Conservation status of Erebia palarica Chapman, 1905 (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae): Local insight and whole distribution perspective

open access: yesInsect 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.

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.

Facing the Heat: Thermoregulation and Behaviour of Lowland Species of a Cold-Dwelling Butterfly Genus, Erebia.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Understanding the potential of animals to immediately respond to changing temperatures is imperative for predicting the effects of climate change on biodiversity.

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.

Evaluating Habitat Conditions for the Ringlet Butterfly (Erebia pronoe glottis) in a Multi-Use Mountain Landscape in the French Pyrenees

open access: yesDiversity
We conducted a mark–release–recapture study of the ringlet butterfly, Erebia pronoe glottis, in the Pyrenees to study population density, flight activity, dispersal, and nectar plant preferences.

Phylogeography and genetic relationship within Erebia neriene (Böber, 1890) in eastern Asia inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

open access: yesSHILAP
Little is known about the genetic relationships within Erebia neriene (Böber, 1890) complexes inhabiting areas outside the Japanese Archipelago. In this study, we investigated genetic variations in E.

Reproductive isolation and intraspecific structure in Alpine populations of Erebia euryale (Esper, 1805) (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae)

open access: yesNota Lepidopterologica, 2014
The subspecies of Erebia euryale (Esper, 1805) have been split into three groups based on morphology, differing in male genital characters. Two of them, the euryale group and the adyte group, are known to be strongly, but not completely, reproductively ...

Past, current, and potential future distributions of unique genetic diversity in a cold‐adapted mountain butterfly

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Aim Climatic changes throughout the Pleistocene have strongly modified species distributions. We examine how these range shifts have affected the genetic diversity of a montane butterfly species and whether the genetic diversity in the extant populations

Distribution modelling as an approach to the conservation of a threatened alpine endemic butterfly (Lepidoptera: Satyridae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2009
Mountain butterfly species are often restricted in their distribution and under threat from habitat destruction and climate change. Due to the inaccessibility of their habitats the distributions of many such species are unknown.
