Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of an endemic species in China, Aulocera merlina (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) and phylogenetic analysis within Satyrinae [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has been extensively used as molecular markers in determining the insect phylogenetic relationships. In order to resolve the relationships among tribes and subtribes of Satyrinae at the mitochondrial genomic level ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Neope bremeri (lepidoptera: nymphalidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
We present the first comprehensive sequencing and annotation of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Neope bremeri. The mitogenome spans 15,216 bp and includes a control region, along with sequences encoding 13 proteins, 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and

Landscape heterogeneity affects developmental and dispersal-related traits of a butterfly in agricultural landscapes. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats due to the intensification of agricultural land use have detrimental impacts on the biodiversity of arthropods. The reduction of natural habitats results in a decreased availability of essential resources, which may select for rapid development and phenotypes enhancing dispersal ability.

Quantifying the success of prey crypsis, aposematism, and evasiveness in avoiding predator attack. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Antipredator defenses typically act at distinct stages of the predation sequence—encounter, identification, approach, and subjugation. However, their effectiveness has rarely been quantified and compared simultaneously in wild predator–prey systems.

Geographic Range Size Predicts Butterfly Species' Tolerance to Heavy Metals More Than Evolutionary History With Toxic Larval Diets. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Some organisms appear to thrive in contaminated environments, while others are more sensitive, though the causes of this variation are unclear. The toxin coevolution hypothesis posits that an evolutionary history with natural toxins preadapts species to deal with novel toxins, while the range‐size‐tolerance hypothesis posits that a larger ...

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Coenonympha amaryllis and monophyly of Satyrinae (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of a Satirid species Coenonympha amaryllis was assembled and annotated. The mitogenome is a DNA molecule of 15125 bp, and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 1 A–T rich
