Mixture Models Unveil the Origin of the Enigmatic Satyrine Butterfly Genera Calisto and Llorenteana (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae).

Rayner Núñez Águila, Anja Bodenheim, Yosiel Álvarez…·Marianne Espeland

The paper uses genomic data and phylogenetic methods to resolve the origins of two Satyrinae butterfly genera, finding Calisto originated from Old World ancestors and Llorenteana split early in Euptychiina.

Environmental Variation Promotes Convergent Evolution and Rapid Diversification of Wing Shape and Color in Skipper Butterflies

Pavel Matos-Maravi, Daniel Linke, Pedro G. Ribeiro…·Alexandre Antonelli

The paper investigates how antipredator traits in skipper butterflies evolve in response to environmental variation, finding convergent evolution and rapid diversification of wing shape and color.
