Large-scale atmospheric circulation cells regulate migratory dynamics of the iconic monarch butterfly

The paper examines how large-scale atmospheric circulation cells influence the migratory timing of eastern monarch butterflies, finding wind dynamics and atmospheric cells are key factors in spring arrival timing.

Different transcriptional responses to developmental versus short-term acclimation temperatures in Pieris rapae

This study compares transcriptional responses to long-term developmental and short-term acclimation temperatures in Pieris rapae, finding distinct gene sets and some overlapping functions.

Deep computer vision reveals the mediation of thermal-melanism and body size by precipitation and sex in a threatened alpine butterfly, Parnassius smintheus

The paper uses deep computer vision to analyze how precipitation and sex influence body size and melanism in Parnassius smintheus, finding sex-specific responses to environmental factors.
