DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9718
Abstract: Abstract The seasonal flood pulse in Amazonia can be considered a primary driver of community structure in floodplain environments. Although this natural periodic disturbance is part of the landscape dynamics, the seasonal inundation presents a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2016.09.040
Abstract: Abstract Surveys on tropical invertebrates must gather as much information as possible over the shortest period, mainly because of financial limitations and hyperdiversity. Fruit-feeding butterflies in the subfamilies Biblidinae, Charaxinae, Nymphalinae and Satyrinae (Nymphalidae) are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.09.017
Abstract: Abstract Large areas in tropical countries were converted into Eucalyptus plantations for pulp production. Although these plantations are structurally more similar to native ecosystems than traditional short-lived crops, they can be less suitable for more… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.119087
Abstract: Abstract Understanding of how biodiversity can recover after anthropogenic disturbances, such as selective logging, is important for planning conservation strategies for tropical forests and for more sustainable timber harvest regimes. However, the knowledge of insect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0266467417000323
Abstract: Abstract: To address how seasonality affects the richness and abundance of tropical insects, we compared the canopy and understorey communities of fruit-feeding butterflies in a seasonal Atlantic forest in south-eastern Brazil. Butterflies were sampled over… read more here.

Population structure and natural history of the South American fruit‐feeding butterfly Taygetis ypthima (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Austral Entomology"
DOI: 10.1111/aen.12389
Abstract: Fruit‐feeding butterflies occur in tropical and subtropical forests; however, knowledge of the variations in abundance and structure at the population level under seasonal cycles in temperature is still lacking. Understanding how populations are organised is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0180007
Abstract: We provide the first description of the effects of local vegetation and landscape structure on the fruit-feeding butterfly community of a natural archipelago of montane rainforest islands in the Serra do Espinhaço, southeastern Brazil. Butterflies… read more here.

Microclimatic Fluctuation throughout the Day Influences Subtropical Fruit-Feeding Butterfly Assemblages between the Canopy and Understory

DOI: 10.3390/d15040560
Abstract: Vertical stratification is a recognized pattern in tropical forests; however, biotic and abiotic factors driving this pattern are little explored. We investigated the influence of daily climatic variation in the vertical stratification of fruit-feeding butterfly… read more here.
