Butterflies use humidity as a cue for wing-pattern and life history trait plasticity when temperature is unreliable [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMany butterflies have wet and dry season morphs with large and small wing eyespots respectively. Eyespot size plasticity is adaptive because butterflies develop large, conspicuous eyespots in the wet season and small, inconspicuous eyespots in the dry ...

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]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.Documenting 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]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Predation 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]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.The 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 ...

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of an endemic species in China, Aulocera merlina (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) and phylogenetic analysis within Satyrinae [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of an endemic species in China, Aulocera merlina (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) was determined and compared with that of other known mitogenomes of Satyrinae species. Moreover, the phylogenetic trees were reconstructed based on the available mitogenome sequences, including the newly ...
