Butterflies are highly sensitive to climate change, and , as an endangered butterfly species, is also affected by these changes. To enhance the conservation of and effectively plan its protected areas, it is crucial to understand the potential impacts of climate change on its distribution. This study utilized a MaxEnt model in combination with ArcGIS technology to predict the global potential suitable habitats of under current and future climate conditions, using the species' distribution data and relevant environmental variables.

Habitat fragmentation and land use changes threaten neotropical habitats and alter patterns of diversity at forest edges. Like other arthropod assemblages, neotropical fruit-feeding butterfly communities show strong vertical stratification within forests, with some recent work showing its potential role in speciation. At forest edges, species considered to be forest canopy specialists have been observed descending to the forest understory, with the similarity in light conditions between the canopy and understory strata at edges hypothesized to be responsible for this phenomenon.

Obligatory parthenogenesis in vertebrates is restricted to squamate reptiles and evolved through hybridisation. Parthenogens can hybridise with sexual species, resulting in individuals with increased ploidy levels. We describe two successive hybridisations of the parthenogenetic butterfly lizards (genus Leiolepis) in Vietnam with a parental sexual species.

Eurema mandarina is a pierid butterfly that primarily feeds on plants in the family Fabaceae. In mainland Japan, adult females preferentially lay eggs on Albizia julibrissin and Lespedeza cuneata. In the field, females may oviposit on non-fabaceous plants, although rarely.

This paper proposes a Q-learning-driven butterfly optimization algorithm (QLBOA) by integrating the Q-learning mechanism of reinforcement learning into the butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA). In order to improve the overall optimization ability of the algorithm, enhance the optimization accuracy, and prevent the algorithm from falling into a local optimum, the Gaussian mutation mechanism with dynamic variance was introduced, and the migration mutation mechanism was also used to enhance the population diversity of the algorithm. Eighteen benchmark functions were used to compare the proposed method with five classical metaheuristic algorithms and three BOA variable optimization methods.
