Evolution of Reproductive Plasticity in a Seasonal Tropical Environment
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.We reveal widespread occurrence of seasonal reproductive plasticity, including reproductive diapause, in Nymphalid butterflies in a seasonal rainforest in the Amazon. This highlights that, not only in temperate but also tropical habitats, seasonality is an important driver of plastic life history strategies. ABSTRACT Seasonality can drive the evolution

Population biology of three satyrine species (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) in a suburban habitat
The Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society, 2023 Abstract Decades after the publication of the first population studies on Neotropical butterflies, knowledge of their population biology remains scarce in the literature. Inconspicuous groups like the nymphalid subfamily Satyrinae are often overlooked, and studies that examine the demographics of these neglected groups are paramount for a more ...

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Niche breadth, reflecting the range of environmental conditions or resources a species can exploit, influences its distribution, persistence, vulnerability to environmental change, and interspecific interactions. The elevational niche‐breadth hypothesis predicts broader ecological niches at higher elevations due to increased environmental stress and ...

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 599-617, April 2026.The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.We provide the first reliable hypothesis on the phylogenetic position of Calisto and Llorenteana within the tribe Satyrini, based on genomic data representing all subtribes. We apply for the first time nucleotide mixture models, which overcame the inconsistencies resulting from the use of partitioned models in this and previous studies, obtaining a ...

A Novel Sampling Protocol for Fruit‐Feeding Butterflies in Grasslands and Open Habitats
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2026.This study proposed a novel sampling protocol for fruit‐feeding butterflies in grasslands and open areas in the subtropical region. The new method involves the use of Van Someren‐Rydon bait traps placed on specific supports closer to the ground, aiming to capture the true diversity of butterflies in these habitats.
