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

European Journal of Entomology, 2009 Mountain butterfly species are often restricted in their distribution and under threat from habitat destruction and climate change. Due to the inaccessibility of their habitats the distributions of many such species are unknown.

European Journal of Entomology, 2017 Understanding the factors restricting the distribution of some insect species to high altitudes is hindered by poor knowledge of temporal changes in their cold hardiness during overwintering.

An illustrated checklist of the genus Elymnias Hübner, 1818 (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2017 Repasamos el género Elymnias Hübner, 1818, un clado de mariposas satirina morfológicamente diverso involucrado en múltiples relaciones de mimetismo batesiano en toda Asia y África. Se imita una variedad de especies modelo diferentes, y muchas especies de Elymnias son miméticas sexualmente dimórficas, con machos y hembras que se asemejan a diferentes ...

Variation in the genitalia of the butterfly Maniola jurtina (Lepidoptera: Satyrinae) [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1993 The genilalia of animals, particularly insects, are extremely useful taxonomic characters, for they are highly conserved within species yet generally diverge rapidly during specialion: often the only reliable means of separating sibling species is via the morphology of the genilalia.

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

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Minois dryas (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) is determined to be 15,195 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 non-coding AT-rich region.
