Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a better understanding of the higher systematics of Nymphalidae (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea).
TL;DR: The results give one of the strongest hypotheses for the subfamilial relationships within Nymphalidae, which was able to resolve the polyphyletic nature of Limenitidinae, which is recommended to be split into three subfamilies: Limen itidinee, Biblidinaes, and Cyrestinae.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phylogenetics and biochemistry of host-plant specialization in melitaeine butterflies (lepidoptera: nymphalidae)
TL;DR: The results show that the evolution of host-plant use in melitaeines has been (and still is) a dynamic process when considering plant taxonomy, but is relatively stable when considering host- plant chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic populations in a dynamic landscape: the metapopulation structure of the marsh fritillary butterfly
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the incidence function model to simulate the metapopulation dynamics of E. aurinia in its dynamic landscape and discovered that the continued presence of the semi-permanent meadows is essential for the survival of the species in the study area in southeast Finland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metapopulation structure and movements in five species of checkerspot butterflies.
TL;DR: The virtual migration (VM) model was applied to mark-release-recapture data collected from multiple populations of checkerspot butterflies in Finland and suggested that a large percentage of migration events were successful in the landscapes that were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prehistorical climate change increased diversification of a group of butterflies
TL;DR: It is suggested that the adaptive radiation of grass feeders in Satyrini has been facilitated by the ubiquitousness of grasses since 25 Myr ago, which was triggered by a change in global climate.
