“…These sexual differences are typical for many insect species (e.g., Reim et al 2018, Klockmann andFischer 2019). Females are primarily selected for high fecundity favoring high mass, while males are selected for early emergence increasing mating opportunities and for large flight muscles for mate location and territorial disputes (Nylin and Gotthard 1998, Fischer and Fiedler 2000b, Reim et al 2018, Klockmann and Fischer 2019. More interestingly, we indeed found some evidence for females responding more strongly to low food quality than males as predicted.…”

Global environmental change exerts growing pressure on biodiversity. Anthropogenic climate and land use change are particularly important drivers of biodiversity loss. While their effects on biodiversity have been widely studied individually, interactions among them are poorly understood. Here, we investigate the effects of two common drivers of global change, increased temperature and nitrogen fertilization, on host-plant quality and herbivore performance in the butterfly Lycaena tityrus. We show that butterfly performance was positively affected by plants grown at increased temperatures and nitrogen fertilization, the latter being in line with the nitrogen limitation hypothesis. Effects were largely consistent across treatments; that is, nitrogen deposition and temperature did not interact strongly to affect herbivore performance. Overall, females suffered more strongly than males from poor host-plant quality. Our study demonstrates changes in host-plant quality caused by variation in temperature and nitrogen availability, which induced indirect effects in an herbivore. Such indirect effects of global environmental change are an important source of variation and should be considered in order to reduce uncertainties with regard to the effects of global change on biodiversity.

“…The stimulus as well as the ability to movements may differ between sexes (Legrand et al, 2015;Reim et al, 2018;Turlure et al, 2011). For many butterfly species, males are more active than females, due for example to mate location, inspection flights and territorial disputes, which increases the chances of males to be captured (Reim et al, 2018). Butterfly females generally move more than males due to straighter flight trajectories (Reim et al, 2018), either to found host plant and distribute eggs strategically over a wider area (Petr and Novotny, 2015;Hopper, 1999) or to start new populations (Hill et al, 1999;Hanski et al, 2004).…”

“…In addition, butterfly females need to escape from male harassment (Trochet et al, 2013), which increases the distances they travel. Knowledge on movement patterns is an important step for a better understanding of dispersal and its crucial role in the conservation and evolution of species facing major environmental changes, such as habitat loss and fragmentation, climate change and their interactions (Reim et al, 2018;Stevens et al, 2010). In view of these, the present study describes the movements of six species of fruit-feeding butterflies between strata (canopy, understory) and among habitats: forest interior, natural transition between forest and lake (ecotone) and anthropic transition (edge), as well as biological traits throughout the year (sex ratio, age structure and individual permanence).…”

Sempre estive cercada de muitos amigos e anjos, assim agradeço de coração por ter todos vocês por perto em mais essa etapa da minha vida! Conto com vocês para as próximas aventuras... Agradeço ao Programa de Pós-graduação em Ecologia da Unicamp pela oportunidade de vivenciar tantas experiências incríveis. Ao CNPq pela bolsa concedida durante esses 4 anos, permitindo que eu me dedicasse de corpo e alma à pesquisa. A CAPES/PDSE pela bolsa concedida de doutorado sanduíche, permitindo meu aperfeiçoamento profissional. As agências Fapemig e CNPQ por terem financiado parte do meu projeto de doutorado. Ao setor de transportes da UFOP pelo apoio mensal durante um ano, fornecendo transporte para todas as coletas. Aos funcionários do Instituto Estadual de Florestas (IEF-MG) e do Parque Estadual do Rio Doce (PERD) por me permitirem trabalhar no parque e fornecerem apoio logístico. Aos meus eternos guias e professores Dr. Sérvio P. Ribeiro e Dr. André V. L. Freitas, muito obrigada pela oportunidade e confiança. Conviver com vocês dois me fez aprender e desenvolver diferentes habilidades, foram muitos ensinamentos dentro e fora das Universidades. Obrigada! Aos colegas dos laboratórios que me acolheram LEEIDSN e LABBOR, obrigada pelas conversas, risadas e festinhas que recarregam nossa energia. Aos colegas da PPG-Ecologia que me acolheram em Campinas, em especial, Sebastián Sendoya, Cristina Antunes, PedroBergamo, Tamilie Carvalho, Verônica Magalhães, Luiz Fernando, obrigada pelo carinho e amizade. Aos que suaram a camisa no PERD, obrigada pelos campos inesquecíveis, nessa tese tem um pedacinho de cada um de vocês (de alguns até sangue rs)! Em especial, agradeço a Glória Soares, Talita Santos e Sidimário Freitas por bravamente estarem em praticamente todos os campos; e as donas do meu pouso fixo e eternas caronas em Campinas: Patrícia Gueratto,
