Brief Mating Behavior at Dawn and Dusk and Long Nocturnal Matings in the Butterfly Melanitis leda [PDF]
Journal of insect behavior, 2020 Information on the mating system of an insect species is necessary to gain insight into sexual selection and population structure. Male territoriality of the common evening brown butterfly Melanitis leda has been studied in the wild, but other aspects of

Seasonal Variation of Butterfly Diversity in Subtropical Urban Forests of Nepal. [PDF]
Ecol EvolButterflies show seasonal fluctuations in diversity and population in response to bioclimatic factors. Studying butterflies in three urban forests in the subtropical region of Nepal, we found that the diversity and community composition differed significantly across seasons, with richness and diversity peaking during the monsoon and abundance peaking ...

Mitogenomic phylogeny of nymphalid subfamilies confirms the basal clade position of Danainae (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 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 ...

Butterfly Diversity in a Sacred Kaya Forest in Southern Kenya. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study we analysed the butterfly communities in a tropical coastal forest patch and the surrounding anthropogenic ecosystems. Although both abundance and species richness were lowest inside the natural forest, vulnerable forest specialists were restricted to the forest interior and absent from all anthropogenic landscapes.

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.

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.

Seasonal Variation of Forest Butterfly Diversity in Tropical Lowland Nepal. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe butterfly diversity significantly varied between the seasons, with two seasonal peaks of richness: pre‐monsoon and post‐monsoon. Nymphalidae was the richest, most abundant, and most diverse family. The overall species richness and abundance were positively affected by increased temperature but negatively affected by increased precipitation ...
