Ecological and functional effects of habitat conversion and seasons on fruit‐feeding butterfly assemblages in tropical dry forests Efeitos ecológicos e funcionais da conversão do habitat e da sazonalidade sobre assembleias de borboletas frugívoras em florestas tropicais secas

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Land‐use change and seasonality shape the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of fruit‐feeding butterflies in tropical dry forests. Pastures reduce phylogenetic diversity and increase wing fluctuating asymmetry, while taxonomic and functional diversity is greater in the wet season than in the dry season.

Establishment of oak processionary moth Thaumetopoea processionea (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) in Odense, Denmark

open access: yesEPPO Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract The oak processionary moth (Thaumetopoea processionea) has recently established a significant presence in Odense, Denmark, a city characterized by its substantial population of oak trees. This study provides details on the current situation (as of April 2025), examines potential introduction pathways, and outlines the challenges associated ...

Taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity patterns of Saturniidae moth communities along a tropical forest recovery gradient in Ecuador

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Diverse Saturniidae moth communities are found in naturally recovering tropical forests in Ecuador. Community composition showed a gradual turnover with strongest differences between old‐growth forest and active agriculture, but only weak differences in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity. While our results suggest that Saturniidae are not

Priority areas for arthropod conservation in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands: Insights from a multi‐taxon distributional database

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Using over 416,000 occurrence records from 13 arthropod groups (6233 arthropod species), we mapped large‐scale richness patterns and identified biodiversity hotspots across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Hotspot congruence among arthropod groups was low, underscoring the importance of integrative, multi‐taxon approaches for conservation ...

A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Warmest spring on record in the United Kingdom provides insights into how a specialist spring‐flying butterfly may respond to future climate change

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Previous work indicates that the Duke of Burgundy butterfly, a specialist spring‐flying species in the United Kingdom, is poor at buffering its thoracic temperature as air temperatures rise. Taking advantage of unusually warm spring weather, we collected new field data and found that the species can lower its thoracic temperature more than expected in ...
