Comparison of Differentiation Pattern at Allozyme and Microsatellite Loci in Parnassius Mnemosyne (Lepidoptera) Populations [PDF]

Hereditas, 2004
A recent review on the use of microsatellites in Lepidoptera has showed that their identification is difficult in this group, which may explain the limited use of these markers in this taxon. In this study on Parnassius mnemosyne, the results obtained for three microsatellite and three allozyme loci are compared.

Phenotypic senescence in a natural insect population. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2022
Phenotypic senescence is a largely understudied component of senescence in natural insect populations. In a wild Clouded Apollo population investigated by us, both body mass and thorax width declined nonlinearly with age. Individuals appearing earlier in the flight period had significantly higher initial body mass and thorax width, and their body mass ...

Not only climate: The importance of biotic interactions in shaping species distributions at macro scales. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
Traditionally abiotic factors are considered the main drivers of biodiversity at macro‐scales, whereas biotic factors are considered important almost only at local scales. Modeling the distribution of 177 African bat species, we demonstrated the importance of considering biotic interactions in SDMs at macro‐scales regardless of the species’ ecology ...

Phenology and foraging bias contribute to sex-specific foraging patterns in the rare declining butterfly Argynnis idalia idalia. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
Sex‐specific foraging behavior is an understudied driver of intraspecific variation in plant–pollinator relationships. We examined 21 years of flower visitation in the rare, declining butterfly Argynnis idalia idalia in order to determine the role that both phenology and visitation bias play in driving differences between male and female floral ...

The Role of Source-Sink Dynamics in the Assessment of Risk to Nontarget Arthropods from the Use of Plant Protection Products. [PDF]

Environ Toxicol Chem, 2021
Abstract The concept of source‐sink dynamics as a potentially important component of metapopulation dynamics was introduced in the 1980s. The objective of the present review was to review the considerable body of work that has been developed, to consider its theoretical implications as well as to understand how source‐sink dynamics may manifest under ...

A checklist of European butterfly larval foodplants. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The study consulted 1119 references to produce 19,488 records of larval foodplants for European butterflies. This resulted in 5589 larval host plant records for 464 European butterfly species, with multiple references, enabling information to be checked.

Protected area coverage of the full annual cycle of migratory butterflies. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Effective conservation of migratory species relies on habitat protection throughout their annual cycle. Although protected areas (PAs) play a central role in conservation, their effectiveness at conserving habitats across the annual cycle of migratory species has rarely been assessed.

Butterfly diversity (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) of Mt. Blegoš and Mt. Koprivnik (Škofjeloško hribovje, Slovenia)

Natura Sloveniae, 2021
An overview of the surveys of butterfly fauna of Mt. Blegoš, Mt. Koprivnik and their surroundings is provided. In 2018, 14 surveys were performed and 80 butterfly species on eight transects recorded in the process.

Contribution to the knowledge of the butterfly fauna (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) of Central Slovenia

Natura Sloveniae, 2023
The southwestern Posavsko hills and northern Suha krajina are among the least studied areas regarding the butterfly fauna in Slovenia. To fill this knowledge gap, we selected all unpublished records of butterflies since 2014, in addition to the focused ...
