Association of iridescence and tails with flight proxies suggests that predation drives convergence in skipper butterflies

Daniel Linke, Vincent Debat, Pável F. Matos‐Maraví

The paper examines morphological convergence in skipper butterflies, finding that traits like hindwing tails and iridescence are linked to flight performance and antipredator defenses, driven by ecological selection.

Heated debate: Is the seasonal polyphenism of Araschnia levana (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) driven by thermoregulation?

Daniel Linke, Jan Okrouhlík, Alena Sucháčková Bartoňová, Leonardo Ré Jorge, Pavel Matos-Maravi, Irena Klečková

This study investigates whether the seasonal polyphenism in Araschnia levana is driven by thermoregulation, finding that morphology and coloration influence thermal dynamics but no active thermoregulation occurs.

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

Pavel Matos-Maravi, Daniel Linke, Pedro G. Ribeiro, Gerardo Llamas Lamas, André Victor Lucci Freitas, Rayner Núñez Águila, Akito Y. Kawahara, Emmanuel F. A. Toussaint, Christine D. Bacon, Niklas Wahlberg, 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.

Quantifying the success of prey crypsis, aposematism and evasiveness in avoiding predators attack

Daniel Linke, Jacqueline Hernandez Mejia, V. Navarro, Prapti Gohil, César Ramírez García, Letty Salinas, Marianne Élias, Pável F. Matos‐Maraví

The paper quantifies how different antipredator defenses—crypsis, aposematism, and evasiveness—effectively reduce predation in wild butterfly-prey systems.
