Larval growth rate is not a major determinant of adult wing shape and eyespot size in the seasonally polyphenic butterfly Melanitis leda [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Background Insects often show adaptive phenotypic plasticity where environmental cues during early stages are used to produce a phenotype that matches the environment experienced by adults.

Contribution to the knowledge of the Papilionoidea fauna of Dhofar (Sultanate of Oman) (Insecta: Lepidoptera)

open access: yesSHILAP, 2022
The Lepidoptera fauna of Dhofar province and Sultanate of Oman in general have been poorly studied with a total of 63 species recorded so far for the province. Our aim was to study the distribution of Lepidoptera more in detail, in particularly for some

Oviposition preference maximizes larval survival in the grass-feeding butterfly Melanitis leda (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2020
Phytophagous insects may be expected to prefer host-plant species on which their larvae perform best, but this has rarely been explored in grass-feeding butterflies.

Mitogenomic phylogeny of nymphalid subfamilies confirms the basal clade position of Danainae (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
The circular mitogenome map of Symbrenthia lilaea. Abstract The phylogenetic relationships among the nymphalid subfamilies have largely been resolved using both morphological and molecular datasets, with the exception of a conflicting basal clade position for Libytheinae or Danainae that remains contentious between morphological and molecular studies ...

A complete COI library of Samoan butterflies reveals layers of endemic diversity on oceanic islands

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 315-330, July 2023., 2023
Abstract We investigated the entire butterfly fauna of the Samoan Archipelago (Pacific Ocean) by combining COI barcode sequences for specimens from these islands with those available in repositories at larger biogeographic scale. Haplotype networks and a generalized mixed Yule‐coalescent (GMYC) model were applied to identify evolutionary significant ...

Diversity and distribution of Fruit‐feeding butterflies (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 621-632, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Tropical rainforests including high mountains are the most diverse terrestrial ecosystems. The ecology of tropical insects has been documented, but there is still a knowledge gap on insect diversity within certain underexplored regions such as the Afrotropical Mountains.

Land‐use change differentially affects endemic, forest and open‐land butterflies in Madagascar

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 15, Issue 5, Page 606-620, September 2022., 2022
Land‐use types with woody vegetation host a high diversity of endemic and forest butterflies and rice paddies and herbaceous fallows are rich in open‐land butterflies. Fallow‐derived vanilla agroforests hosted more endemic and forest species compared to herbaceous fallows and rice paddies. Preserving a diversity of small‐scale land‐use types, including
