EcosphereButterflies are important bioindicators that can be used to monitor the effects of climate change, particularly in montane environments. Changes in butterfly population size over time, reflective of indicator life stages, can signal changes that have ...

Immigration allows population persistence and maintains genetic diversity despite an attempted experimental extinction [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceWidespread fragmentation and degradation of habitats make organisms increasingly vulnerable to declines in population size. Immigration is a key process potentially affecting the rescue and persistence of populations in the face of such pressures.

Lack of genetic structure suggests high connectivity of Parnassius phoebus between nearby valleys in the Alps [PDF]
Alpine Entomology, 2022 The spatial scale of intraspecific genetic connectivity and population structure are important aspects of conservation genetics. However, for many species these properties are unknown.

Comparative Analysis of Mitogenomic and Nuclear Gene Data Reveals Phylogenetic Implications, Divergence Times, and Historical Biogeography in the Subfamily Pyrginae (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study examined the phylogeny and historical biogeography of the skipper butterfly subfamily Pyrginae using mitochondrial and nuclear gene data from 118 species. The monophyly of Pyrginae was strongly supported, though some tribal relationships within the subfamily remain unresolved.
