A phylogenetic study to assess the link between biome specialization and diversification in swallowtail butterflies. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2022 After the resource‐use hypothesis, habitat fragmentation caused by climatic changes would affect particularly species inhabiting only one biome, which might suffer more both speciation and extinction events. This effect would be more substantial for biomes with high/low precipitation and temperature.

An Untapped and Undocumented Butterfly Diversity in a Rapidly Urbanizing and Fragmenting Forest Habitat in Pokhara, Nepal: First Checklist and Implications for Conservation and Ecotourism. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDocumenting indicator taxa such as butterflies is crucial in biodiversity hotspots such as the Himalayas, particularly in rapidly urbanizing areas such as Pokhara, Nepal. This study recorded 225 butterfly species in the Methlang Forest area of Lakeside, Pokhara, including new and long‐absent national records.

Butterfly Diversity and Community Dynamics in the Central Himalayas: Species Composition, Richness, Abundance, and Seasonal Variation of Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) in Bhorletar, Nepal. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study presents an assessment of butterfly diversity in the foothills of Bhorletar, Lamjung District, Nepal, documenting 226 species across 129 genera and six families. The research reveals a bimodal pattern of species richness, peaking in April and August, with significant implications for conservation and management strategies.

Innate Nectar Plant Attraction Is Primarily Visually-Guided but Olfactory-Stimulated in North American Monarch Butterflies. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn flower‐visiting insects, innate preferences facilitate efficient foraging strategies in complex natural environments. We find that naïve monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) have an innate attraction to the nectar plant Lantana camara that primarily utilizes visual cues but is enhanced by olfactory cues. ABSTRACT In flower‐visiting insects, innate

In Vivo Antimalarial Activity and Toxicity Study of Extracts of Tagetes erecta L. and Synedrella nodiflora (L.) Gaertn. from the Asteraceae Family. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2021 Objective. To investigate the antimalarial effects and toxicity of the extracts of the flowers of Tagetes erecta L. and the leaves of Synedrella nodiflora (L.) Gaertn. in a mouse model. Methods. To determine the in vivo antimalarial activity of the extracts, mice were intraperitoneally injected with the Plasmodium berghei ANKA strain and then ...

Seasonal Variation of Forest Butterfly Diversity in Tropical Lowland Nepal. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe butterfly diversity significantly varied between the seasons, with two seasonal peaks of richness: pre‐monsoon and post‐monsoon. Nymphalidae was the richest, most abundant, and most diverse family. The overall species richness and abundance were positively affected by increased temperature but negatively affected by increased precipitation ...
