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).

Patch-Scale Movement Dynamics in the Iowa Grassland Butterflies \u3ci\u3eSpeyeria Cybele\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eMegisto Cymela\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
An understanding of the movement dynamics of invertebrates can be critical to their conservation, especially when managing relatively small, isolated habitats. Most studies of butterfly movement have focused on metapopulation dynamics at relatively large

Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) Pollination in New Zealand: A Preliminary Report on Flower Visitors, Natural Pollen Deposition, and Artificial Pollination

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

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.

New Larval Host Plant and Behavior of \u3ci\u3eChlosyne Gorgone\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
(excerpt) On 31 July 1994, at 1600 hr, an aggregation of eight larvae of Chlosyne gorgone (Hubner) was found at Bush Clover Prairie, in Grant Co., Wisconsin. The larvae were feeding on the upper surface of a leaf of Echinacea pallida (Asteraceae), eating

Separate and synergistic anti‐herbivore effects of non‐glandular trichomes and leaf chemistry in a desert plant

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 736-749, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant defence phenotypes commonly integrate physical and chemical traits that may act synergistically against herbivores, but empirical evidence for synergy as a defence strategy remains limited.

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.
