Speed or sperm: A potential trade-off between development and reproduction in the butterfly, Bicyclus anynana (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2010
Life-history theory predicts trade-offs between resources invested in reproduction and other fitness-related traits. To date, most studies have focused on potential reproductive trade-offs in females.

Genomic Insights Into Species Delimitation and the Evolutionary History of Mimetic Aletis Moths (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) in the Afrotropics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We investigated the evolutionary history and species boundaries of diurnal Aletis moths in the Afrotropics using mitochondrial DNA and genome‐wide SNP data. Our results support five distinct species, with divergence dating back to 0.9 million years ago, influenced by climate‐driven isolation and habitat variation.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Jackson’s leaf butterfly Mallika jacksoni (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The Jackson’s leaf butterfly Mallika jacksoni (Sharpe 1896), is a leaf-mimicking species from tropical East Africa. Genome skimming by Illumina sequencing permitted the assembly of the complete circular M. jacksoni 15,183 bp mitogenome. It consists of 79.

Vertical and temporal niche partitioning in Amazonian butterflies: implications for the evolution of thermal tolerance

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Closely related species living in sympatry are often partitioned into divergent ecological niches. Such specialization can be enabled by the evolution of divergent traits enhancing adaptation to different niches. In this study, we investigate the partitioning of closely related butterfly species into different forest strata and daily activity time and ...

Seeing Through the Mimicry of Papilio bootes by Combining Computer‐Aided and Human Eyesight Morphological Comparisons

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
The study investigates Batesian mimicry between Papilio bootes and Byasa species in West China, revealing that different subspecies of P. bootes mimic Byasa species with varying hindwing spot patterns. Subspecies in the western range mimic four‐spotted Byasa species, while northeastern subspecies mimic spotless ones, with B.

Observations of tear‐drinking by lepidopterans on moose (Alces americanus americanus) in northeastern North America

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Lepidoptera have long been known to feed on the tears of vertebrates as a presumed source of minerals or nutrients. While this unusual behavior has been observed in a variety of species, only a single previous record has been documented outside of the tropics. Here, we present the first documentation of moths visiting the eyes of a bull moose (

Lepidoptera of South Ossetia (Northern Transcaucasia). Part V. Superfamily Papilionoidea Latreille, 1809

open access: yesActa Biologica Sibirica
Seventy seven Papilionoidea species have been indicated for South Ossetia (72 – for the first time for thus territory). For three species listed in the Red Book of South Ossetia (P. apollo, I. podalirius and P. machaon) new localities are given.
