Reexamining Sexual and Species Recognition in Butterflies: The Partner‐Hazard Space Framework
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Our review found no evidence that butterflies recognize the same sex or their own species. Behaviors previously interpreted as sexual or species recognition are indistinguishable from those interpreted as mate choice. Butterfly interactions can therefore be explained by assuming a sexual‐partner template that elicits mating behavior and a hazard ...

Seasonal Variation of Butterfly Diversity in Subtropical Urban Forests of Nepal
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Butterflies show seasonal fluctuations in diversity and population in response to bioclimatic factors. Studying butterflies in three urban forests in the subtropical region of Nepal, we found that the diversity and community composition differed significantly across seasons, with richness and diversity peaking during the monsoon and abundance peaking ...

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

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1896-1909, June 2026.Abstract Molecular identification of insect food webs can accurately reveal complex trophic interactions and serve as a foundation for understanding ecosystem functioning and advancing biodiversity conservation. This process typically involves DNA library construction, high‐throughput sequencing and subsequent steps, including data assembly, annotation,

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Invasive wildflowers pose a conservation paradox: While they often reduce the diversity and abundance of native wildflowers, they can provide resources for native pollinators, including imperiled species. Previous work has framed wildflower invasions as outcomes of global change, but less is known about how interacting anthropogenic drivers ...
