Dispersal patterns of endemic alpine butterflies with contrasting population structures: Erebia epiphron and E. sudetica
TLDR
The negative exponential function and the sigmoid function were superior to the inverse power function in fitting mobility data for both species, suggesting different behaviours of dispersing individuals in the Hrubý Jeseník Mountains.

Population Structure, Behaviour and Selection of Oviposition Sites of an Endangered Butterfly, Parnassius Mnemosyne, in Litovelské Pomoravíl. Czech Republic
TLDR
The heliophily of the species and the dependency of females on open oviposition sites render the butterfly vulnerable due to a decline in coppice management and replacement of fine mosaic of sunny and shady patches by even-aged forest stands.

Protected areas do not mitigate biodiversity declines: A case study on butterflies
To assess the effectiveness of protected areas in preventing biodiversity decline. We first test whether species richness of butterfly assemblages is higher within European Natura 2000 (N2000) sites…

Dwarf pine: invasive plant threatens biodiversity of alpine beetles
TLDR
Considering the small area of alpine tundra in the Central European mountain ranges, the expansive dwarf pine represents a serious threat to this unique montane biodiversity and it is recommended the immediate reduction or removal of non-native dwarf pine stands.

The effect of alpine ski-slopes on epigeic beetles: does even a nature-friendly management make a change?
TLDR
A significant effect of ski-slope management on the epigeic beetle community, including its functional diversity is demonstrated, which should be considered very cautiously any potential expansion of ski resorts, even those with reasonable ‘nature-friendly’ practices.

Has the currently warming climate affected populations of the mountain ringlet butterfly, Erebia epiphron (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), in low-elevation mountains?
TLDR
It is found that butterfl y numbers recorded per transect walk decreased between the past and the present, but relative population abundances remained unchanged, which is interpreted as desynchronization of annual cohort development, which might be caused by milder winters with less predictable snow cover and more variable timing of larval diapause termination.

Responses of grassland arthropods to various biodiversity-friendly management practices: Is there a compromise?
TLDR
This empirical study is one of the first to jointly analyze the response of orders, individual species and functional richness of arthropods to particular management practices and to linear landscape features, such as strips of grass and belts of trees.
