Better Understanding the Potential Importance of Florida Roadside Breeding Habitat for the Monarch
Insects, 2018 The North American monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) population has declined significantly over the past two decades. Among the many other factors, loss of breeding habitat has been implicated as a potential leading driver.

Ecology and evolution of cycad-feeding lepidoptera.
Ecology Letters, 2020 Cycads are an ancient group of tropical gymnosperms that are toxic to most animals - including humans - though the larvae of many moths and butterflies (order: Lepidoptera) feed on cycads with apparent immunity.

Nature, 1882 ALLOW us to correct a slight error in the address of the President of the Royal Society, as reported in NATURE last week. He speaks of the “completion” of the “Lepidoptera of Ceylon” having been presented to the Library, whereas it is only the first of the three volumes of that work which is as yet complete.

BioRisk, 2010 We provide a comprehensive overview of those Lepidopteran invasions to Europe that result from increasing globalisation and also review expansion of species within Europe. A total of 97 non-native Lepidoptera species (about 1% of the known fauna), in 20 families and 11 superfamilies have established so far in Europe, of which 30 alone are Pyraloidea ...

Physical and Behavioral Adaptations to Prevent Overheating of the Living Wings of Butterflies [PDF]
, 2020 The wings of Lepidoptera contain a matrix of living cells whose function requires appropriate temperatures. However, given their small thermal capacity, wings can overheat rapidly in the sun. Here we analyze butterfly wings across a wide range of simulated environmental conditions, and find that regions containing living cells are maintained at cooler ...

, 2007 Lepidoptera systematics: current and future research priorities It will require very considerable resource investments on the part of the systematic lepidopterists' community to cope with the predicted doubling-to-quadrupling of the recognized species numbers. Not only will the descriptive/analytical phase itself be demanding, so will also the initial

The Canadian Entomologist, 1876 The larva of Thyreus Abbottii possesses a peculiar interest to the Entomologist, as it is the only species of which the sex is supposed to be indicated by the coloration. Frequent reference to this is found in works of different authors, and nowhere have I seen any doubt expressed about the validity of the distinguishing markings between ♂ and ♀ (vide ...
