This study shows that climate and species interactions differentially influence population dynamics of mimetic butterfly communities, with non-mimetic species responding to climate and mimics to mimicry interactions.

The paper investigates postzygotic hybrid incompatibility in Papilio machaon butterflies, finding dysregulated diapause in hybrids and linking it to species delimitation.

This paper synthesizes long-term ecological monitoring efforts in India, identifying their geographic distribution, thematic focus, data types, and challenges in sustainability.

The paper shows how novel mimicry polymorphisms evolve through Haldane's sieve and rare recombination in Papilio polytes using the doublesex gene within a large inversion.

This study quantifies spectral variation in wing color patches of swallowtail butterflies and identifies the pigment papiliochrome-II as the basis of sexual ornaments.

This study disrupts gut microbiomes in two butterfly species and finds no significant fitness cost, suggesting butterflies do not rely on gut bacteria for key developmental processes.
