Forest Type as a Key Driver of Butterfly Species Diversity

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Forest types and complex vegetation structures are key factors in promoting butterfly diversity. While considerable studies represent the checklists of butterfly species across various forest types in Bangladesh, the influence of different forest types on butterfly species diversity remains unexplored. To explore this, we conducted the study from April

An Untapped and Undocumented Butterfly Diversity in a Rapidly Urbanizing and Fragmenting Forest Habitat in Pokhara, Nepal: First Checklist and Implications for Conservation and Ecotourism

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Documenting indicator taxa such as butterflies is crucial in biodiversity hotspots such as the Himalayas, particularly in rapidly urbanizing areas such as Pokhara, Nepal. This study recorded 225 butterfly species in the Methlang Forest area of Lakeside, Pokhara, including new and long‐absent national records.

Changes in Vegetation Cover and Their Effects on the Diversity of Fruit‐Feeding Butterflies

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.
We used fruit‐feeding butterfly diversity as a bioindicator of deforestation for implementing pastures in Brazilian tropical dry forests. A total of 1091 individuals belonging to 35 species of the Nymphalidae family were sampled. Changes in land cover and tree density were important factors in explaining butterfly diversity.
