Dietary ethanol affects feeding behaviour, flight performance, and mating success in a fruit-feeding butterfly

This study shows that dietary ethanol affects feeding behavior, flight performance, and mating success in the butterfly Bicyclus anynana.

Evolutionary constraints in host shifts: limited adaptation of Plutella xylostella to cardenolide-defended Erysimum cheiranthoides

This study examines the ability of diamondback moth to adapt to cardenolide-defended Erysimum cheiranthoides, finding limited adaptation despite existing genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity.

Improved chromosome level genome assembly of the Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia) based on SMRT Sequencing and linkage map.

The paper improves the chromosome-level genome assembly of the Glanville fritillary butterfly using SMRT sequencing and a linkage map, increasing the assembly size by 94 Mb.

Complex effects of day and night temperature fluctuations on thermally plastic traits in a seasonal plasticity model

The paper examines how day and night temperature fluctuations affect thermally plastic traits in Bicyclus anynana, finding additive and dominance effects on different traits.
