Rhythmic Signaling of Ants and Butterflies With Varying Degrees of Myrmecophily

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1556, Issue 1, February 2026.
Myrmecophilous butterflies evolved diverse adaptations to communicate with ants, including acoustic ones. We analyzed the rhythmic properties of vibroacoustic signals in two ant and nine butterfly species differing in myrmecophily. Highly myrmecophilous species and ants shared complex rhythmic structures (isochrony, double meter), suggesting convergent

The Coevolution of Colour Patterns and Hindwing Shapes on a Large Phylogenetic Scale Reveals Predation‐Driven Adaptive Syndromes in Swallowtail Butterflies

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
By combining computer vision and morphometrics on museum specimens, we show that hindwing tail shape and colour patterns evolved in concert across swallowtails. Long‐tailed species display contrasted stripes and marginal spots, suggesting coevolution of deflective traits promoted by natural selection by predators.

Effects of elevation and microclimatic temperatures on butterfly–flower interaction networks in a Mediterranean mountain range

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 93-105, January 2026.
We tested how elevation and microclimate influenced butterfly–flower interaction networks at the hottest time of year in a Mediterranean mountain range. Interactions were dominated at all sites by one or two abundant butterfly and flower species, but butterfly networks were more robust to plant species loss at higher elevations. Nectar availability may
