Are Toxic Butterflies More Easily Detected by Human ‘Predators’?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Aposematic signals are often thought to be conspicuous and stable across environments. Yet, butterflies can have distinct colours on their dorsal and ventral sides which contradict this prediction. We found that despite toxic butterflies having similar detectability on both sides, only dorsal detectability positively correlated with toxicity.

Recruitment of Native Pollinators and Dispersers by Lonicera japonica May Facilitate Its Invasion and Its Potential Threat to Local Biodiversity

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Lonicera japonica is a plant native to Asia that has been widely used in landscaping as an ornamental plant, but has escaped cultivation and become invasive in several countries. This study examined the reproductive phenology, pollinator attraction, and potential dispersal mechanisms of L.

Nocturnal Lepidopterans as Essential Pollinators of Aspidosperma pyrifolium (Apocynaceae), a Keystone Tree in the Caatinga Dry Forest

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 351-363, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Pollination is a key ecosystem service, yet most studies focus on diurnal interactions, often overlooking nocturnal pollinators such as hawkmoths and settling moths. In arid environments, nocturnal pollination plays a crucial role in maintaining native plant species of high biocultural value, as seen in the Caatinga dry forest.

Mixture models unveil the origin of the enigmatic Satyrinae butterfly genera Calisto and Llorenteana (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) Los modelos de mezcla revelan el origen de los enigmáticos géneros de mariposas Satyrinae Calisto y Llorenteana (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
We provide the first reliable hypothesis on the phylogenetic position of Calisto and Llorenteana within the tribe Satyrini, based on genomic data representing all subtribes. We apply for the first time nucleotide mixture models, which overcame the inconsistencies resulting from the use of partitioned models in this and previous studies, obtaining a ...
