Predictors of Wing Attacks by Birds Across Australian Butterflies. [PDF]
Ecol EvolPredation 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.

Evolutionary Changes of <i>GT1</i> Provide Insights Into the Adaptation of Butterflies to Plant Feeding. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe 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.

An Untapped and Undocumented Butterfly Diversity in a Rapidly Urbanizing and Fragmenting Forest Habitat in Pokhara, Nepal: First Checklist and Implications for Conservation and Ecotourism. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDocumenting indicator taxa such as butterflies is crucial in biodiversity hotspots such as the Himalayas, particularly in rapidly urbanizing areas such as Pokhara, Nepal. This study recorded 225 butterfly species in the Methlang Forest area of Lakeside, Pokhara, including new and long‐absent national records.

Long-Term Population Monitoring of the Karner Blue (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) in Wisconsin, 1990-2004 [PDF]
, 2018 We monitored Wisconsin populations of the Karner blue (Lycaeides melissa samuelis Nabokov, Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) during 1990-2004. We surveyed consecutive spring and summer broods in two contiguous central Wisconsin counties (Jackson, Wood), starting ...

Variation in Timing and Abundance of Elfins (Callophrys) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) in Wisconsin During 1987-1999 [PDF]
, 2018 In Wisconsin during 1987-1999, we recorded elfin (Callophrys) individuals on 154 of 254 observation dates between 2 April and 11 July. The frosted elfin (C. irus) occurred only in central Wisconsin; brown (C. augustinus), hoary (C.

Polymorphic microsatellite loci in the endangered butterfly Lycaena helle (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2008 Six polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated in the endangered butterfly Lycaena helle. Five of them provided interpretable results. We detected four to 34 alleles per locus in a total of 235 samples (males and females) collected from meadows in the

European Journal of Entomology, 2000 The large copper butterfly, Lycaena dispar batavus, a subspecies of much conservation interest, is host-specific to the great water dock, Rumex hydrolapathum, but little is known of the relationship between herbivore and host in wild populations.
