Functional trait modules link climatic niche geometry to projected range change in global butterflies

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3225-3242, October 2026.
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

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 10, October 2026.
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.

Climate-induced changes in the phenotypic plasticity of the Heath Fritillary, Melitaea athalia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2016
Recently a large number of studies have reported an increase in the variability in the climate, which affects behavioural and physiological adaptations in a broad range of organisms.

Pollinator Associations of Rare and Endangered Epacris Species (Ericaceae) in Lutruwita/Tasmania: Implications for Conservation

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
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

Variation in the morphology of the wings of the endangered grass-feeding butterfly Coenonympha oedippus (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in response to contrasting habitats

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2018
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).

Migration of the Butterfly Panacea prola (Nymphalidae: Biblidinae) in the Southeastern Peruvian Amazon

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
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.

More complex than expected: Cold hardiness and the concentration of cryoprotectants in overwintering larvae of five Erebia butterflies (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2017
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.

Restoration age, distance from reference ecosystems, and host plant feeding guilds shape the diversity of frugivorous butterflies in ecological restoration areas in the Atlantic Forest

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
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 complete mitochondrial genome of the Madagascar mother-of-pearl butterfly Salamis anteva (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
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%
