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

Zoologica 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

African 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

Insect 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

Predictability of temporal variation in climate and the evolution of seasonal polyphenism in tropical butterfly communities

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 34, Issue 9, Page 1362-1375, September 2021., 2021
One of the core pre‐requisites for maintaining adaptive phenotypic plasticity is that the environment should be predictable. We tested this hypothesis by sampling three communities of Mycalesina butterflies, where many species exhibit seasonal polyphenism, from two seasonal and one aseasonal location.

Testing a butterfly commonness hypothesis with data assembled by a citizen science program “Tokyo Butterfly Monitoring”

Ecological Research, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 1087-1094, November 2020., 2020
We tested a hypothesis regarding species commonness using a database compiled by a citizen science program. The data used were more than 34,000 butterfly records posted by monitoring participants from 2009 to 2017. We concluded that the data collected by the monitoring program appear to represent the status of the butterfly community in Tokyo, a ...

Species Composition and Visiting Frequencies of Flower Visitors of Chromolaena odorata in a Dry Zone Forest Patch of Sri Lanka

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Plant‐animal interaction has been a major theme in ecology as it has helped ecologists to rule out different patterns they observed in the surrounding environments. Chromolaena odorata is another plant species that is studied extensively as it has become a major troublesome weed in many parts of the tropics.

Forest Type as a Key Driver of Butterfly Species Diversity

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Forest types and complex vegetation structures are key factors in promoting butterfly diversity. While considerable studies represent the checklists of butterfly species across various forest types in Bangladesh, the influence of different forest types on butterfly species diversity remains unexplored. To explore this, we conducted the study from April
