This study compares genomic erosion in an extinct British butterfly and a stable species, finding similar heterozygosity loss despite different population sizes and suggesting inbreeding and deleterious mutations as decline indicators.

This study shows that seasonal environments drive convergent evolution of a faster pace-of-life in tropical butterflies across different regions.

The paper identifies vertically transmitted rhabdoviruses in three insect species and shows they spread rapidly through host populations with high maternal transmission rates.
