1. Use of microhabitats affects butterfly assemblages in a rural landscape
Abstract Landscapes composed of small rural properties may support highly heterogeneous habitat, because they often cover distinct types of land uses adjacent to surrounding forest fragments. Many butterfly species may benefit from this kind of landscape, as very distinct microhabitats can be found in a very restricted spatial scale. To better understand how

2. Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) from the campos rupestres of Serra de São José, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Resumo Fornecemos o primeiro levantamento de espécies de borboletas (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) da Serra de São José, Minas Gerais, Brazil. A Serra de São José possui elevações variando de 800 a 1.400 m de altitude, onde as borboletas foram amostradas utilizando armadilhas e redes entomológicas em sete áreas ao longo do gradiente altitudinal. Nós

3. Butterfly fauna (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea) in a heterogeneous area between two biodiversity hotspots in Minas Gerais, Brazil
Abstract This paper investigates the butterfly fauna of the ‘Serra do Rola-Moça’ State Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil. We evaluate i) the seasonal variation of species richness and composition; and ii) the variation in composition of the local butterfly assemblage among three sampling sites and between the dry and rainy seasons. Sampling was carried out mon

4. First host plant record for Strymon davara (Hewitson) (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae) in the highly human-modified coastal valleys of the Atacama Desert
ABSTRACT Some native plants can survive the disturbances associated with agricultural activities, sometimes being considered weeds and objects of control practices. However, these plants can be very important to support populations of native insects in disturbed habitats. Alternanthera halimifolia (Lam.) Standl. (Amaranthaceae) is locally considered a weed,

5. Stichelia pelotensis (Lepidoptera, Riodinidae): conservation, notes, and rediscovery of an endangered butterfly from southern Brazil
ABSTRACT Stichelia pelotensis (Lepidoptera, Riodinidae) is an endemic and threatened butterfly from the Pampa biome in southern Brazil, and has not been recorded in its type locality in the last 56 years. Recently, a population was found in two sites from extreme south Brazil, Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul state. These records are an important find given the co

6. A new genus and species of Euptychiina (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) from southern Brazil
This paper describes a new genus and a new species of Euptychiina from open grassland habitats (campos de cima da serra) in southern Brazil. The systematic position of this new taxon is discussed based on morphological and molecular data, and it is considered sister to Taydebis Freitas. Since the campos vegetation is considered endangered due to anthropogeni

7. Borboletas (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea e Hesperioidea) ocorrentes em diferentes ambientes na Floresta Ombrófila Mista e nos Campos de Cima da Serra do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil
Com o intuito de contribuir para o conhecimento das borboletas da Floresta Ombrófila Mista e Campos de Cima da Serra do Rio Grande do Sul foi elaborada uma listagem de espécies da assembléia de borboletas da Floresta Nacional de São Francisco de Paula e entorno. Foram realizadas saídas bimestrais de março de 2006 a maio de 2008 sendo selecionados s

8. Dinâmica espaço-temporal em uma guilda de borboletas frugívoras no limite norte da floresta atlântica nordestina
The extent of the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, a global biodiversity hotspot, has been reduced to less than 7% of its original range. Yet, it contains one of the richest butterfly fauna in the world. Butterflies are commonly used as environmental indicators, mostly because of their strict association with host plants, microclimate and resource availability

9. ESTUDO DA DIVERSIDADE DE BORBOLETAS (LEPIDOPTERA: RHOPALOCERA) EM DUAS LOCALIDADES NO MUNICÍPIO DE FREDERICO WESTPHALEN, RIO GRANDE DO SUL, BRASIL. / STUDY OF THE DIVERSITY OF BUTTERFLIES (LEPIDOPTERA, RHOPALOCERA) IN TWO LOCALITIES IN THE FREDERICO WESTPHALEN CITY, RS, BRAZIL.
Contribuindo para o levantamento sistemático e o conhecimento de borboletas da Floresta Estacional Decidual de Frederico Westphalen, foram realizadas saídas de campo mensais em duas localidades no Município, entre março de 2005 e abril de 2006. Em um total de 140 horas de amostragem, foram registrados 3129 indivíduos distribuídos em 174 espécies. Dest

10. Efeitos de fragmentação florestal na guilda de borboletas frugivoras do Planalto Atlantico Paulista
Fragmentation effects on frugivorous butterflies (Nymphalidae) and the ecological indicator status of the members of this guild were evaluated comparing continuous forest sites (Morro Grande State Reserve, Cotia, SP) and nearby fragments. In 36,000 trap-hours of sampling, 70 species of six Nymphalidae subfamilies were captured, summing 1,810 individuals (661

11. Evolutionary conservation and predicted structure of the Drosophila extra sex combs repressor protein.
The Drosophila extra sex combs (esc) protein, a member of the Polycomb group (PcG), is a transcriptional repressor of homeotic genes. Genetic studies have shown that esc protein is required in early embryos at about the time that other PcG proteins become engaged in homeotic gene repression. The esc protein consists primarily of multiple copies of the WD rep

12. Food-plant niche selection rather than the presence of ant nests explains oviposition patterns in the myrmecophilous butterfly genus Maculinea.
It has been suggested that the socially parasitic butterfly Maculinea alcon detects ant odours before ovipositing on initial larval food plants near colonies of its obligate ant host Myrmica ruginodis. It has also been suggested that overcrowding on food plants near M. ruginodis is avoided by an ability to detect high egg loads, resulting in a switch to sele
