Predictors of Wing Attacks by Birds Across Australian Butterflies
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.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.

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.Closely related species living in sympatry are often partitioned into divergent ecological niches. Such specialization can be enabled by the evolution of divergent traits enhancing adaptation to different niches. In this study, we investigate the partitioning of closely related butterfly species into different forest strata and daily activity time and ...

Evolutionary Changes of GT1 Provide Insights Into the Adaptation of Butterflies to Plant Feeding
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.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.

Quantifying the success of prey crypsis, aposematism, and evasiveness in avoiding predator attack
Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 11, November 2025.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.
