We analysed genomic data from six closely related Coenonympha butterflies to explore their diversification history across Europe. Despite widespread secondary gene flow, the six species remain genetically distinct, even in areas where their distribution ranges overlap.

We tested how elevation and microclimate influenced butterfly–flower interaction networks at the hottest time of year in a Mediterranean mountain range. Interactions were dominated at all sites by one or two abundant butterfly and flower species, but butterfly networks were more robust to plant species loss at higher elevations. Nectar availability may

At the southern limit of its range the endangered butterfly Coenonympha oedippus inhabits grasslands (wet, dry) that differ significantly in the abundance of its larval hostplants (wet > dry) and mean annual air temperature (wet < dry).

Phylogeny, systematics and evolution of mimicry patterns in Neotropical limenitidine butterflies
The most comprehensive phylogeny for Adelpha reveals that it is not monophyletic, supporting the description of the new genus Adelphina for the alala‐group. The rate of mimicry evolution increases towards the tropics, consistent with the hypothesis of stronger biotic interactions near the equator.

Understanding the factors restricting the distribution of some insect species to high altitudes is hindered by poor knowledge of temporal changes in their cold hardiness during overwintering.

The metabolic load hypothesis was tested in Polygonia c‐album caterpillars by comparing metabolic costs across three host plants. Larvae feeding on a chemically challenging host showed higher energy demands per unit of growth and reduced performance.

The Madagascar mother-of-pearl (Salamis anteva) is a leaf-mimicking butterfly endemic to forests in southern Madagascar. Genome skimming by Illumina sequencing permitted assembly of a complete S. anteva circular mitogenome of 15,201 bp consisting of 80.6%

Erebia euryale (Esper, 1805) is a montane-zone representative of a Holarctic butterfly genus the species of which occur mainly in alpine areas. As in many mountain insects, E.
