TL;DR: The results provide evidence that activity greatly influences the probability of attacks and that flying rapidly is effective for escaping pursuing predators in the wild, but the did not find evidence that cryptic species are less likely to be attacked while at rest.

TL;DR: DNA analyses showed the presence of monophyletic groups for all of the studied Oxyethira species, and support keeping O. boreella as a synonym of O. falcata.

TL;DR: It is observed that shape is more sensitive to external thermal conditions at the pupal stage than size per se, with the thermal sensitivity of the latter depending on the trait under examination, which relies on variation in survival during the off-host life stages or short-distance flight to reach a susceptible host instead of long-distance dispersal ability.

TL;DR: The results suggest that global climate change throughout the Cenozoic, particularly during the Eocene-Oligocene transition, combined with the conserved ancestral tropical niches, played a major role in generating the modern LDG of butterflies.

TL;DR: The molecular phylogenetic analyses indicate that this species is sister to Pseudobiston pinratanai Inoue, a member of a recently established monotypic family Pseud Obistonidae, and a new subfamily of PseudOBistonidae is proposed to accommodate H. discivitta.
