Chromosome number evolution in skippers (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae)

Comparative Cytogenetics, 2014
Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), as many other groups of animals and plants, simultaneously represent preservation of ancestral karyotype in the majority of families with a high degree of chromosome number instability in numerous independently ...

Predictors of Wing Attacks by Birds Across Australian Butterflies. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Predation pressure can vary latitudinally and across different prey communities as well as between males and females of the same prey species. Here, the variation in predation pressure on Australian butterflies was assessed using wing damage caused by bird attacks in over 2310 individuals from five butterfly families.

Evolutionary Changes of <i>GT1</i> Provide Insights Into the Adaptation of Butterflies to Plant Feeding. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated the evolution of glycosyltransferase 1 (GT1) genes in 69 butterfly species to explore their association with host plant adaptation. Our results reveal frequent tandem duplications and adaptive selection in GT1s, especially in UGT33 and UGT40 subfamilies, alongside expression patterns suggesting functional diversification.

Butterfly–parasitoid–hostplant interactions in Western Palaearctic Hesperiidae: a DNA barcoding reference library

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2022
The study of ecological interactions between plants, phytophagous insects and their natural enemies is an essential but challenging component for understanding ecosystem dynamics.

Quantifying the success of prey crypsis, aposematism, and evasiveness in avoiding predator attack. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Antipredator defenses typically act at distinct stages of the predation sequence—encounter, identification, approach, and subjugation. However, their effectiveness has rarely been quantified and compared simultaneously in wild predator–prey systems.
