Czech Republic butterfly barcoding reveals that distribution of genetic lineages depends on species traits

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 1575-1586, August 2024.
Abstract Aim The distribution of within‐species lineages has been affected by Quaternary climate changes, and population differentiation has been influenced by species life history traits. We investigated whether the distribution of individual mitochondrial genetic lineages reflects the constituent species' traits.

Phylogeography of the Iberian endemic butterfly Erebia palarica Chapman, 1905 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): An integrative approach Filoxeografía do endemismo ibérico Erebia palarica Chapman, 1905 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): un enfoque integrador

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 651-675, July 2024.
A double star‐like pattern in the COI haplotype network of Erebia palarica suggests a demographic expansion from two ancestral populations in this Iberian montane endemic. Seven microsatellite markers revealed a pattern of isolation by distance (IBD) along the Cantabrian Mountains, as opposed to different levels of genetic structure found in western ...

Investigation of parental care in avocets from the perspectives of behavioural ecology and conservation biology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002

Assessing the existence of pantropical butterflies: A review of accurate taxonomy, biogeography and life history traits

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 295-305, June 2024.
True pantropical butterflies are rare and require taxonomic investigation to establish genetic monophyly. Butterflies have spread via dispersal through land bridges rather than Gondwanan‐driven vicariance. Widespread butterfly taxa are typically habitat generalists, although life history traits that allow for large range sizes are not well established.

High Nature Value Farmland in Europe - An Estimate of the Distribution Patterns on the Basis of Land Cover and Biodiversity Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Europe's agricultural landscapes provide highly varied living conditions for many plants and animals. Baldock et al. (1993) and Beaufoy et al. (1994) described the general characteristics of low-input farming systems in terms of biodiversity and ...

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.

Land-use simplification weakens the association between terrestrial producer and consumer diversity in Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Land-use change is one of the primary drivers of species loss, yet little is known about its effect on other components of biodiversity that may be at risk, such as local associations between trophic levels.

Living on the edge—Genomic and ecological delineation of cryptic lineages in the high‐elevation specialist Erebia nivalis

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 526-542, May 2024.
Using genomic data, we assessed the distinction of geographically isolated Swiss populations of Erebia nivalis, a butterfly that occurs at high elevations and is otherwise widespread in the Austrian Alps. All populations showed little population connectivity, declining population sizes and low genetic diversity, especially Swiss E. nivalis.

Oviposition-site preferences of a declining butterfly Erebia medusa (Lepidoptera: Satyrinae) in nutrient-poor grasslands

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2015
Butterflies belong to one of the most intensively studied invertebrate groups. However, detailed information on the larval ecology is still lacking in many species.

Novi podatki o razširjenosti in razponu nadmorskih višin pojavljanja dalmatinskega rjavčka, Proterebia afra dalmata (Godart, [1824]) (Lepidoptera: Satyrinae) na Hrvaškem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
During the survey of butterfly fauna of Dalmatian mountains in the last years, Proterebia afra dalmata (Godart, 1824) was found on several new sites, including the first records of this subspecies at higher altitudes (Poštak, Svilaja, Promina, Kamešnica ...
