Protection status and environmental gradients shape butterfly assemblages in an East African tropical ecosystem

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Observed butterfly richness was highest in moderately protected areas. During the dry season, vegetation productivity increased butterfly richness while human population density reduced it. Moderately protected areas supported high butterfly abundance and a high proportion of host‐specialist species.

A dual pollination strategy combining perfume attraction and food deception in Galeandra blanchetii E.S. Rand (Orchidaceae)

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Galeandra blanchetii exhibits a dual‐attraction strategy: male euglossine bees are lured by floral scents as a resource, while both sexes are deceived by non‐existent nectar. Pollination only occurs when bees enter the spur to search for nectar, highlighting an evolutionary transition towards the perfume flower syndrome in Catasetinae.

Which One Tastes Better? Testing Distinct Baits to Evaluate Fruit‐Feeding Butterfly Assemblages (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in a Subtropical Region

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Standardised sampling protocols are essential for improving biodiversity assessments, particularly for indicator groups such as fruit‐feeding butterflies. Although fermented banana is the most widely used bait in tropical regions, rotten fish is the best bait for catching fruit‐feeding butterflies in high‐altitude sites.

Functional trait modules link climatic niche geometry to projected range change in global butterflies

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3225-3242, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming is redistributing insects, but species‐level projections alone rarely show which functional strategies are most exposed or how traits are linked to climatic niche structure.
