Biogeographic Patterns of Iranian Lepidoptera: A Framework for Conservation

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The contact zone of three zoogeographic realms, the Palearctic, Saharo‐Arabian and Oriental, is an evolutionary cradle of high species richness and endemism in Iran. In this study, we investigate statistically inferred bioregions of Lepidoptera in this region.

Why mow?: A review of the resulting ecosystem services and disservices from mowing turfgrass

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Turfgrasses are those grasses that tolerate frequent mowing. The act of mowing turfgrasses, primarily lawn mowing, has received much negative attention primarily due to its labor requirement and the resulting mower emissions. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the benefits and drawbacks of mowing grasses, specifically turfgrasses ...

Myrmecophily is not a risk factor for long‐term occupancy trends of central European Lycaenidae butterflies Myrmekophilie ist kein risikofaktor für langfristige vorkommenstrends mitteleuropäischer Lycaenidae

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 107-115, January 2025.
As specialist species are generally decreasing under the pressures of anthropogenic global change, we assessed whether myrmecophily affected 40‐year occupancy trends of gossamer‐winged butterflies (Lycaenidae) in a European region. Obligate myrmecophile butterflies showed slightly, but insignificantly, more increasing trends compared with ant ...

Disentangling the Influence of Phylogeny and Traits on Climatic Risk of European Butterflies

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Aim The relative importance of traits and phylogeny to predict species extinction risk is unclear and it depends on which traits are measured and their phylogenetic conservatism. Here, we evaluate the power of functional traits, ecological characteristics, such as range size and specialization, and phylogeny to predict climatic risks in ...

Extensive mismatch between protected areas and biodiversity hotspots of Iranian Lepidoptera

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 938-952, November 2024.
Species‐rich regions and areas with higher priority for conservation of Iranian Lepidoptera are mainly restricted to the major mountain ranges in the north and west. We investigated an extensive mismatch between the current network of the protected areas and no‐hunting areas, and the regions prioritized for Lepidoptera conservation within Iran ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Silene uniflora‡

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 9, Page 2135-2157, September 2024.
Sea Campion (Silene uniflora) flowers throughout the summer on cliffs, dunes and shingle, mainly around the Atlantic and Baltic coasts of Europe. Plants may have hermaphrodite flowers, female‐only flowers or both. Long‐tongued Hymenoptera and night‐flying moths are important pollinators, and they commonly also transmit a castrating fungal disease ...

Assessing the existence of pantropical butterflies: A review of accurate taxonomy, biogeography and life history traits

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 295-305, June 2024.
True pantropical butterflies are rare and require taxonomic investigation to establish genetic monophyly. Butterflies have spread via dispersal through land bridges rather than Gondwanan‐driven vicariance. Widespread butterfly taxa are typically habitat generalists, although life history traits that allow for large range sizes are not well established.

Macroecological patterns in European butterflies unveil strong interrelations between larval diet breadth, latitudinal range size and voltinism

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2024, Issue 2, February 2024.
Diet breadth is one of the fundamental species traits of an herbivorous insect as it strongly determines its ecological niche and, at the same time, its ability to cope with changing environmental conditions. To what extent this trait is associated with other characteristics that may influence a species' ability to respond to environmental changes ...
