The charismatic and regionally declining Parnassius mnemosyne (Linnaeus, 1758) is notable for surpluses of males in mark-recapture studies, as well as for poor detectability of its larvae, which develop on spring ephemeral plants, Corydalis spp.

Closely related species living in sympatry are often partitioned into divergent ecological niches. Such specialization can be enabled by the evolution of divergent traits enhancing adaptation to different niches. In this study, we investigate the partitioning of closely related butterfly species into different forest strata and daily activity time and ...

Scaling-up targets for a threatened butterfly: A method to define Favourable Reference Values
The accomplishment of a Favourable Conservation Status (FCS) for habitats and species is the Habitats Directive's primary goal (HD, 92/43/EEC). As tools for assessing the measurable parameters of conservation status, the European Commission identified ...

Environmental stress in Parnassius apollo reflected through wing geometric morphometrics in a historical collection with a possible connection to habitat degradation [PDF]
Monitoring climate changes and habitat degradation in threatened species without negative impact to the populations can pose a considerable challenge. A rare chance to test the morphological response of wing shape and size to environmental factors on the

Impact of Habitat Loss on the Decline of Threatened Butterflies in South Korea
ABSTRACT Many insect species are at risk of extinction due to habitat degradation and loss, the introduction of invasive species, and climate change. Butterfly populations, in particular, have declined worldwide. Our study analyzed changes in the six landscape features across sites where 18 threatened butterfly species were recorded over 40 years (1987–

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 ...
