A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Presence of large ungulates increased richness and abundance of some insect taxa. Across taxa, it supported life history traits declining in modern industrialised landscapes. Trophic rewilding thus represents a way to remedy undesirable effects of land use intensification, and to mimic conditions in which a substantial proportion of temperate insect ...

Genetic effects on life-history traits in the Glanville fritillary butterfly [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Adaptation to local habitat conditions may lead to the natural divergence of populations in life-history traits such as body size, time of reproduction, mate signaling or dispersal capacity.

Target capture efficiently resolves the long‐standing taxonomic dead end of Diachrysia moths
Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.We demonstrate the high efficiency of the target capture method in elucidating the taxonomy of the cryptic species of Diachrysia chrysitis and D. stenochrysis. Phylogenomic and population structure analyses reveal clear nuclear divergence and asymmetric allele sharing, consistent with historical gene flow rather than recent hybridization.

An Equatorial Hemispheric Barrier Shapes the Diversification of Migratory Belenois Butterflies
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.ABSTRACT Biogeographic barriers are typically considered prominent geographic features that block or severely restrict dispersal and gene flow. However, mating barriers can also emerge within continuous suitable habitats, driven by ecological or behavioural constraints. Migratory insects show an extraordinary capacity to traverse vast geographic ranges,

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.Genome‐wide analyses uncover deeply diverged lineages of Cyaniris semiargus shaped by isolation in southern European and North African refugia, with no signal of contemporary gene flow. Parallel ecological divergence separates montane and coastal lineages, leading to the description of two new subspecies adapted to high‐altitude climatic extremes (C. s.
