Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

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.

Comparative Analysis of Lepidopteran Community Structure Using DNA Metabarcoding: Warm‐Temperate Forest Versus Grass‐Shrub Ecotones in Pangquangou National Nature Reserve

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study confirms that the method based on DNA metabarcoding qualifies as a cost‐efficient alternative to traditional approaches, as well as a better understanding for future assessment of insect diversity. ABSTRACT Lepidoptera is a widely geographically distributed insect order that plays crucial ecological roles in forest and grass‐shrub ecosystems

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%

Quantitative evidence for spatial variation in the biennial life cycle of the mountain butterfly Erebia euryale (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in the Czech Republic

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2015
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.

Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism
