Patch-Scale Movement Dynamics in the Iowa Grassland Butterflies \u3ci\u3eSpeyeria Cybele\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eMegisto Cymela\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
An understanding of the movement dynamics of invertebrates can be critical to their conservation, especially when managing relatively small, isolated habitats. Most studies of butterfly movement have focused on metapopulation dynamics at relatively large

Rough eyes of the Northeast-Asian wood white, Leptidea amurensis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Northeast-Asian Wood White Leptidea amurensis (Lepidoptera, Pieridae) belongs to Dismorphiinae, a subfamily of the family Pieridae. We here studied the structure of the compound eye in this species through a combination of anatomy, molecular biology ...

Elusive Parnassius mnemosyne (Linnaeus, 1758) larvae: habitat selection, sex determination and sex ratio (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae)

open access: yesSHILAP, 2017
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.

Vertical and temporal niche partitioning in Amazonian butterflies: implications for the evolution of thermal tolerance

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
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 ...

Consequences of toxic secondary compounds in nectar for mutualist bees and antagonist butterflies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Attraction of mutualists and defense against antagonists are critical challenges for most organisms and can be especially acute for plants with pollinating and non?pollinating flower visitors.

Recent butterfly extinctions in Sweden reveal the inadequacy of site‐based protection and the need for landscape‐scale management

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.
The recent extinction of three conservation target butterflies from southern Sweden highlights critical gaps in conservation frameworks, even in regions with strong environmental considerations and biodiversity monitoring. This study documents the sequential loss of Melitaea britomartis, Plebejus argyrognomon, and Parnassius mnemosyne ssp.

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 ...

The Diverse Reactions of Butterflies and Zygaenids (Lepidoptera) to Climate Change—A Large Scale, Multi‐Species Study

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim An extensive dataset was used to decipher the different responses of 46 species of butterflies and Zygaenids (Lepidoptera) to climate change. The study included more than 1.5 million observations from four databases in Europe, with a south–north extension of about 1200 km from south‐eastern France, via Switzerland and Baden‐Württemberg ...

Midgut protease activities in monophagous larvae of Apollo butterfly, Parnassius apollo ssp. frankenbergeri

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Biologies, 2007
We assayed the relative activities of midgut proteolytic enzymes in individuals of the fourth (L 4 ) and fifth (L 5 ) instar of Apollo larvae, inhabiting Pieniny Mts (southern Poland).
