This study examines gene flow patterns in Heliconius butterflies, finding widespread introgression influenced by geographic overlap and ecological factors.

This study uses a meta-analysis of 1,361 Neotropical butterfly species to show that the Pebas wetland selectively constrained dispersal between the Andes and Amazonia, contributing to the modern diversity imbalance.

The paper examines morphological convergence in skipper butterflies, finding that traits like hindwing tails and iridescence are linked to flight performance and antipredator defenses, driven by ecological selection.

This study investigates whether the seasonal polyphenism in Araschnia levana is driven by thermoregulation, finding that morphology and coloration influence thermal dynamics but no active thermoregulation occurs.

The paper investigates how antipredator traits in skipper butterflies evolve in response to environmental variation, finding convergent evolution and rapid diversification of wing shape and color.

The paper quantifies how different antipredator defenses—crypsis, aposematism, and evasiveness—effectively reduce predation in wild butterfly-prey systems.

The paper tests palatability, flight speed, and habitat preference in Eudaminae skipper butterflies to understand their defensive strategies.

This study compares flight behaviors and wing morphology between seasonal forms of two Pieris butterfly species, finding that seasonal differences in flight traits are more pronounced than interspecific differences.
