Movement and demography of at-risk butterflies: building blocks for conservation
The number of insect species at risk of population decline and extinction is increasing
rapidly. Yet we know almost nothing about the ecology of these species, except for at-risk …

The first red list of Italian butterflies
The Italian biodiversity is among the richest in Europe. In particular, the Italian butterfly fauna
includes almost 300 native species, and within the Euro‐Mediterranean area is second in …

Adult longevity and its relationship with conservation status in European butterflies
Many European butterfly species are currently experiencing serious declines, and may be
threatened with extinction. Nevertheless, due to limited knowledge on the species biology …

Intersexual differences in density‐dependent dispersal and their evolutionary drivers
Dispersal is well recognized as a major driver of evolutionary processes in local
populations. Nevertheless, dispersal abilities should also be perceived as a life‐history trait …

Landscape structure affects metapopulation-scale tipping points
Even when environments deteriorate gradually, ecosystems may shift abruptly from one
state to another. Such catastrophic shifts are difficult to predict and sometimes to reverse (so …

Testing for local monophagy in the regionally oligophagous Euphydryas aurinia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)
Regionally oligophagous insects are often host plant specialists at smaller geographical
scales, so conservation planning should preferably rely on locally derived information. Host …

[HTML][HTML] Combined demographic, ecological and genetic tools reveal connectivity within a fragmented butterfly population
Protected species require targeted studies to establish population sizes, their dispersal
capacity and the possible genetic bottleneck effect that could impair the future of the …

Make it simple: mating behaviour of Euphydryas aurinia provincialis (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)
M Pinzari, M Pinzari, V Sbordoni - The European Zoological …, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
Courtship in butterflies can vary among species, from simple to elaborate displays, which
are thought to promote conspecific mating and drive a female, at first unreceptive, to …
