The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1163-1174, November 2025.
We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...

Spatiotemporal Prediction of Ideal Butterfly Habitats in Kun‐Ming's Urban Green Areas: Enabled by Maxent and ArcGIS

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Using Maxent and ArcGIS with 22 SPSS–selected environmental parameters, this study analysed current butterfly distributions in Kunming's urban green spaces, predicted changes under three climate scenarios (1970–2000, 2030s, 2050s) and generated ecological sensitivity data.

Salty suitors: High larval sodium intake reduces adult lifespan and influences reproductive behaviour in a lepidopteran herbivore

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 886-898, October 2025.
Low‐sodium females took significantly longer to start mating than high‐sodium females, but no pairings differed in the duration of copulation. Reproductive outputs, measured by number of clutches, hatching young, adult offspring and pupation time, did not differ across parental sodium pairings.

Whole‐genome data shed light on speciation and within‐species differentiation of the Papilio machaon complex around the Mediterranean Basin

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 692-712, October 2025.
Genomic data refine the species boundary of Papilio machaon and confirm the species status of Papilio saharae, with clarification of subspecies delineation of Mediterranean machaon and saharae. A heterogeneous level of genome‐wide heterozygosity between island and continental lineages warrants further taxonomic implications, and there is also evidence ...

Floral Color and Family Drive Contrasting Plant–Pollinator Responses to Nutrient Enrichment

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Floral taxonomic family and color mediated how plant–pollinator reactions respond to nutrient enrichment. Nitrogen enrichment increased yellow and purple Asteraceae flowers and decreased pink, blue, and green flowers in Geraniaceae, Fabaceae, and Iridaceae. These shifts in floral colors and traits altered pollinator composition.
