Environmental controls on butterfly occurrence and species richness in Israel: The importance of temperature over rainfall. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 While butterflies are often used as bioindicators for the effects of climate and land‐cover change on biodiversity, their response to these factors was little studied outside temperate habitats. Here, we use Citizen Science data to demonstrate that temperature is the lead driver of butterfly biodiversity in Israel, followed by rainfall.

A checklist of European butterfly larval foodplants. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe study consulted 1119 references to produce 19,488 records of larval foodplants for European butterflies. This resulted in 5589 larval host plant records for 464 European butterfly species, with multiple references, enabling information to be checked.

European Journal of Entomology, 2015 In natural systems plant-insect interactions are influenced by several factors. For instance plants could be characterised by the presence of defensive chemicals and herbivores are forced to evolve resistance against them.

A synonymic list of names associated with western Palaearctic Melitaea phoebe (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) species group taxa (M. phoebe; M. punica Oberthür, 1876; M. ornata Christoph, 1893) (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) [PDF]
Nota Lepidopterologica, 2016 Following indecision and confusion in the literature regarding nomenclature and distribution of Melitaea phoebe (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) and its closely associated congeners M. punica Oberthür, 1876, and M. ornata Christoph, 1893, a synonymic list of phoebe names, and of names both correctly and mistakenly associated with phoebe species-group ...

Systematic EntomologyWe provide evidence of asymmetric gene flow from Melitaea phoebe to M. ornata and, especially, to M. pseudornata, for which gene flow may have affected a high proportion of its genome. Gene flow was not equally distributed along the genome: the Z chromosome showed patterns compatible with the large‐Z effect.
