Taxonomic Structure and Wing Pattern Evolution in the Parnassius mnemosyne Species Complex (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) [PDF]
Insects, 2023 In our study, using the analysis of DNA barcodes and morphology (wing color, male genitalia, and female sphragis shape), we show that the group of species close to P. mnemosyne comprises the western and eastern phylogenetic lineages.

Intraspecific variation in sex-biased dispersal of a threatened ecotone butterfly between forest patches in a mosaic landscape [PDF]
Scientific ReportsForest patches are vital for saving biodiversity in fragmented temperate agricultural landscapes. They support threatened species, e.g. the charismatic Clouded Apollo butterfly, Parnassius mnemosyne, which lives at forest-meadow edges as it requires ...

Mate‐guarding success depends on male investment in a butterfly [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Males of many insects, including butterflies, produce mate‐guarding devices, such as mating plugs, to prolong guarding and prevent future female matings in the male's absence.

A Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly and Annotation for the Clouded Apollo Butterfly (Parnassius mnemosyne): A Species of Global Conservation Concern. [PDF]
Genome Biol EvolAbstractThe clouded apollo (Parnassius mnemosyne) is a palearctic butterfly distributed over a large part of western Eurasia, but population declines and fragmentation have been observed in many parts of the range. The development of genomic tools can help to shed light on the genetic consequences of the decline and to make informed decisions about ...
