Development of novel microsatellite markers for a specialist species of Lepidoptera, Boloria aquilonaris (Nymphalidae), based on 454 sequences

European Journal of Entomology, 2012
Microsatellites are the most common markers used in population and conservation genetic studies. However, their isolation is laborious and expensive. In some taxa, such as Lepidoptera, it is particularly difficult to isolate microsatellite markers due to

Different host plant utilization ability of two closely related Melitaea species (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

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.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the black dead leaf butterfly Doleschallia melana (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The black dead leaf butterfly Doleschallia melana (Staudinger, 1886) (Nymphalidae) is a leaf mimic endemic to Indonesia. Genome skimming by Illumina sequencing enabled the assembly of a complete 15,269 bp circular mitogenome from D.

Changes in the life history traits of the European Map butterfly, Araschnia levana (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) with increase in altitude

European Journal of Entomology, 2011
Climatic conditions can modify the life history traits, population dynamics and biotic interactions of species. Therefore, adaptations to environmental factors such as temperature are crucial for species survival at different altitudes.

Demography of adults of the Marsh fritillary butterfly, Euphydryas aurinia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in the Czech Republic: Patterns across sites and seasons

European Journal of Entomology, 2011
The Marsh fritillary (Euphydryas aurinia) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) has declined across Europe, including the Czech Republic. Current conservation strategies rely on prevention of habitat loss and degradation, and increase in habitat quality and ...

The association between wing morphology and dispersal is sex-specific in the glanville fritillary butterfly Melitaea cinxia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2007
We examined whether dispersal was associated with body and wing morphology and individual quality, and whether such an association was sex-specific, in the Glanville fritillary butterfly Melitaea cinxia (L.) in Paldiski on the north coast of Estonia ...
