Biogeography, ecology, molecular ecology and conservation of butterflies
I focus on the influence of the Quaternary change in habitats and climate fluctuation on the distribution of Palaearctic butterflies. What was the effect of Quaternary large mammalian fauna on butterflies? How do butterflies survive in disrupted European biotopes? What will happen to the populations in the fragmented landscape?
