Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming is redistributing insects, but species‐level projections alone rarely show which functional strategies are most exposed or how traits are linked to climatic niche structure.

Future Extreme Climatic Events May Reshape Butterfly Distributions Across Biomes in Italy
ABSTRACT Aim Extreme climatic events (ECEs) are increasingly recognized as major drivers of insect declines, yet remain rarely incorporated into biodiversity projections. Butterflies may be especially sensitive to prolonged ECEs because they are short‐lived ectotherms, while voltinism can influence their capacity to absorb climatic shocks.

ABSTRACT The breeding systems of Lutruwita/Tasmania's threatened Epacris taxa are poorly known. Our main objective was to determine the pollinators of several endemic species and explore for relationships between pollinators, floral morphology, flowering time and habitat. The Epacris have limited variation in floral traits and exhibit generalist floral

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).

We document an annual dry season migration of the butterfly Panacea prola across a 5‐year period at a lowland Amazonian site in southeastern Peru, adding to our extremely limited knowledge of insect migration in the world's largest and most biodiverse rainforest.

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.

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 ...

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%
