Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.The swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon has a brown‐ and green‐coloured morph, with the brown being more common in the diapausing generation. The darker colouration of brown pupae did not confer advantages for thermoregulation when developing, but they did have lower diapause metabolic rates.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction The fragmentation of the Atlantic Forest has caused severe biodiversity loss. In Paraná State, more than 96% of the original vegetation, predominantly semideciduous seasonal forest, has been degraded. Ecological restoration is a key strategy to reverse this scenario, aiming to recover environmental conditions equivalent to the ...

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Reexamining Sexual and Species Recognition in Butterflies: The Partner‐Hazard Space Framework
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Our review found no evidence that butterflies recognize the same sex or their own species. Behaviors previously interpreted as sexual or species recognition are indistinguishable from those interpreted as mate choice. Butterfly interactions can therefore be explained by assuming a sexual‐partner template that elicits mating behavior and a hazard ...
