We analysed genomic data from six closely related Coenonympha butterflies to explore their diversification history across Europe. Despite widespread secondary gene flow, the six species remain genetically distinct, even in areas where their distribution ranges overlap.

In other island nations, the establishment of social wasps has had tremendous negative impacts on local biodiversity. The Red wasp Vespula rufa and the Norwegian wasp Dolichovespula norwegica have now been established in Greenland, with unknown impacts on native fauna.

ABSTRACT Biological invasions are major drivers of recent biodiversity changes, yet the genetic structure and ecological mechanisms underlying invasion dynamics remain poorly resolved in invasive social insects. In South Africa, the European wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), introduced in the 1970s, has spread remarkably more slowly than ...

The Dipterans (Insecta: Diptera) of the Vitosha Mountain
A total of 1272 two-winged species that belong to 58 families has been reported from the Vitosha Mt. The Tachinidae (208 species or 16.3%) and Cecidomyiidae (138 species or 10.8%) are the most numerous.

Genomic analysis of Plebejus Kluk (Lycaenidae: Polyommatinae) clarifies taxonomy within Europe
The first genomic analysis for the genus Plebejus in Europe is presented, based on ddRAD sequencing data comprising all European Plebejus plus some Asian and North American taxa. Plebejus idas is recovered as paraphyletic, Plebejus corsicus as a subspecies of Plebejus argus and Plebejus villai as a population of Plebejus bellieri, totalling 4 species ...

Phylogeny, systematics and evolution of mimicry patterns in Neotropical limenitidine butterflies
The most comprehensive phylogeny for Adelpha reveals that it is not monophyletic, supporting the description of the new genus Adelphina for the alala‐group. The rate of mimicry evolution increases towards the tropics, consistent with the hypothesis of stronger biotic interactions near the equator.
