Variation in butterfly larval acoustics as a strategy to infiltrate and exploit host ant colony resources. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 About 10,000 arthropods live as ants' social parasites and have evolved a number of mechanisms allowing them to penetrate and survive inside the ant nests. Many of them can intercept and manipulate their host communication systems.

Survival of eggs to third instar of late-summer and fall-breeding monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) and queen butterflies (Danaus gilippus) in north Texas [PDF]
Journal of Insect Conservation, 2022 Abstract Introduction Eastern migratory monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) have declined over 80% in recent years, but little is known about fall reproduction in the southern U.S. where monarchs may compete with queen butterflies (Danaus gilippus).

Testing the role of the Red Queen and Court Jester as drivers of the macroevolution of Apollo butterflies [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2017 AbstractIn macroevolution, the Red Queen (RQ) model posits that biodiversity dynamics depend mainly on species-intrinsic biotic factors such as interactions among species or life-history traits, while the Court Jester (CJ) model states that extrinsic environmental abiotic factors have a stronger role.

Evidence From Mitochondrial Dna Supports Earlier Records of African Queen Butterflies (Danaus chrysippus) Migrating In East Africa [PDF]
Journal of East African Natural History, 2003 Anecdotal evidence has long suggested that the African queen butterfly, Danaus chrysippus (L.), is migratory. More recently, records of rapid and seasonal changes in the frequencies of different colour pattern morphs in Tanzania, Ghana, and Kenya have provided further evidence.

Hybrid queen butterflies from the cross Danaus chrysippus (L.) × D. gilippus (Cramer):confirmation of species status for the parents and further support for Haldane's Rule [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2002 A cross between queen butterflies of the Palaeotropical species Danaus chrysippus and the Neotropical D. gilippus was achieved with difficulty in both directions. Only one progeny (N = 70) was reared comprising sterile males and inviable females in a precisely 1 : 1 ratio. Both prezygotic and postzygotic barriers to gene flow are strong.

First Detection of Honeybee Pathogenic Viruses in Butterflies
Insects, 2022 Several pathogens are important causes of the observed pollinator decline, some of which could be transmitted between different pollinator species. To determine whether honeybee viruses can be transmitted to butterflies, a total of 120 butterflies were ...
