The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1163-1174, November 2025.
We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...

Correspondence of butterfly and host plant diversity: Foundation for habitat restoration and conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
At a spatial scale, the diversity of butterflies varies with numerous factors including the availability of the host plant species. In parity with this proposition, the correspondence of diversity of butterfly and plant in the background of the ...

Evaluating the SPRING pollinator monitoring methods in Flanders (Belgium)

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
This study evaluated six methods for monitoring wild bees and hoverflies in Flanders, showing that pan traps were most effective for bees, while combining pan traps and transect walks best captured hoverfly diversity. Trap height, UV reflectance and seasonal variation strongly influenced sampling outcomes, highlighting the need for protocol refinement ...

Genomes reveal drastic and recurrent phenotypic divergence in firetip skipper butterflies (Hesperiidae: Pyrrhopyginae)

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019
Biologists marvel at the powers of adaptive convergence, when distantly related animals look alike. While mimetic wing patterns of butterflies have fooled predators for millennia, entomologists inferred that mimics were distant relatives despite similar ...

Spatiotemporal Prediction of Ideal Butterfly Habitats in Kun‐Ming's Urban Green Areas: Enabled by Maxent and ArcGIS

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Using Maxent and ArcGIS with 22 SPSS–selected environmental parameters, this study analysed current butterfly distributions in Kunming's urban green spaces, predicted changes under three climate scenarios (1970–2000, 2030s, 2050s) and generated ecological sensitivity data.

Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) from a Fragment of Atlantic Forest in the Southern Bahia State

open access: yesEntomoBrasilis, 2020
The Atlantic Forest of southern Bahia comprises a zone of high levels of biodiversity and endemism of plants, vertebrates and insects. However, there are still several gaps on the knowledge of the local Lepidoptera diversity.

Salty suitors: High larval sodium intake reduces adult lifespan and influences reproductive behaviour in a lepidopteran herbivore

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 886-898, October 2025.
Low‐sodium females took significantly longer to start mating than high‐sodium females, but no pairings differed in the duration of copulation. Reproductive outputs, measured by number of clutches, hatching young, adult offspring and pupation time, did not differ across parental sodium pairings.
