On the use of ultraviolet photography and ultraviolet wing patterns in butterfly morphology and taxonomy [PDF]
, 2000 In a series of feeding experiments we found that, depending on the larval food plant species or part of food plant ingested, individuals of the blue butterfly Polyommatus icarus (Lycaenidae) exhibit broad variation of wing patterns in the ultraviolet (UV)

Theclinae of Rondonia, Brazil: Strymon Hübner : with descriptions of new species (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) [PDF]
, 2011 Twenty-two species of Strymon are known from the vicinity of Cacaulandia in Rondonia, Brazil, of which 14 are new species. These belong to 5 species groups: the "oreala" group [Strymon megarus (Godart)]; the "ziba" group [Strymon ziba (Hewitson), Strymon

The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1163-1174, November 2025.We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...

Genomics of extreme ecological specialists: multiple convergent evolution but no genetic divergence between ecotypes of Maculinea alcon butterflies. [PDF]
, 2017 Biotic interactions are often acknowledged as catalysers of genetic divergence and eventual explanation of processes driving species richness. We address the question, whether extreme ecological specialization is always associated with lineage sorting ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 21, November 2025.ABSTRACT Wolbachia is the most frequent bacterial endosymbiont of arthropods and nematodes. Although it is mostly vertically transmitted, from parent to offspring through the egg cytoplasm, horizontal transfer of Wolbachia is thought to be common over evolutionary timescales.

Biogeographical patterns of the neotropical genus Battus Scopoli 1777 (Lepidoptera Papilionidae) [PDF]
, 1993 A phylogenetic approach to the groups of species of the neotropical Troidines currently included in the genus Battus Scopoli 1777 has been conducted. In the light of historical and ecological processes of evolution in the neotropical biota, the cladogram

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation (HLF) are among the major drivers of bee decline, yet closely related species often show contrasting responses depending on their ecological and demographic traits. The Brazilian Cerrado biodiversity hotspot experiences among the world's highest rates of HLF.
