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

This study shows that developmental bias limits eyespot color diversification in butterflies, but the genus Heteropsis has evolved to overcome this bias, enabling rapid morphological change.

This study examines how temperature and host plant quality interact to affect life-history traits in the butterfly Bicyclus anynana, revealing complex temperature and sex-dependent effects.

The paper shows that reproductive diapause in Bicyclus butterflies enabled their adaptation to savannah environments during the Late Miocene.
