TL;DR: A survey of mitochondrial genetic diversity for the butterfly fauna of the Iberian Peninsula is presented with unprecedented resolution, suggesting that cryptic biodiversity may be higher than expected for one of the best-studied invertebrate groups and regions.

TL;DR: The case of, presumably, two consecutive Wolbachia‐mediated mitochondrial introgression events, further supports the view that infection by this endosymbiont may be frequently related to mito‐nuclear discordance in insects.

TL;DR: The results suggest that two flower beetle species benefit from fire because fire disrupts antagonistic interactions with their predators (predation release hypothesis), and it is proposed that the increase in population size (compared with unburnt zones) could be driven by the reduction of their predator populations.

TL;DR: The new species has been located inside six average-sized underground caves and may be one of the major hypogean predators in the Iberian Peninsula, with a diet that ranges from Acari to Anillini carabids, and it is possible to infer a remote origin for this species, as suggested by its high level of specialization in the subterranean ecosystems.

TL;DR: The analyses of the data matrix support the monophyly of the three tribes in “Dryptitae”, as well as the closest relationship of Ildobates with Thalpius to the exclusion of Desera plus Galerita.
