By 2000, around 106 natural glucosinolates (GSLs) were probably documented. In the past
decade, 26 additional natural GSL structures have been elucidated and documented …

Butterflies display extreme variation in wing shape associated with tremendous ecological
diversity. Disentangling the role of neutral versus adaptive processes in wing shape …

Summary Butterflies (Papilionoidea), with over 18,000 described species [1], have
captivated naturalists and scientists for centuries. They play a central role in the study of …

The currently recognized robust support for the monophyly of the Lepidoptera (and the
superorder Amphiesmenoptera comprising Lepidoptera+ Trichoptera) is outlined, and the …

Dated molecular phylogenies are the basis for understanding species diversity and for
linking changes in rates of diversification with historical events such as restructuring in …

Increasing the number of characters used in phylogenetic studies is the next crucial step
towards generating robust and stable phylogenetic hypotheses—ie, strongly supported and …

Ehrlich and Raven formally introduced the concept of stepwise coevolution using butterfly
and angiosperm interactions in an attempt to account for the impressive biological diversity …

This study provides a novel systematic comparative analysis of the species characteristics
affecting the range margin shifts in butterflies towards higher latitudes, while taking …

The need for robust estimates of times of divergence is essential for downstream analyses,
yet assessing this robustness is still rare. We generated a time-calibrated genus-level …

Although the taxonomy of the ca 18 000 species of butterflies and skippers is well known,
the family-level relationships are still debated. Here, we present, to our knowledge, the most …
