TL;DR: Agarwal et al. as mentioned in this paper present a genome assembly from an individual female Aglais urticae (also known as Nymphalis urticiae) with the majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the W and Z sex chromosome assembled.
Abstract: We present a genome assembly from an individual female Aglais urticae (also known as Nymphalis urticae ; the small tortoiseshell; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The genome sequence is 384 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the W and Z sex chromosome assembled.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of organochlorine insecticides on two indigenous British species of wildlife: the peregrine falcon (Falco pere grinus Tunstall) and the small tortoiseshell butterfly (Aglais urticae) were described.
Abstract: The effects are described of organochlorine insecticides on two indigenous British species of wildlife: the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus Tunstall) and the small tortoiseshell butterfly (Aglais urticae [L.]). Four conclusions are drawn about the effects of pesticides on wildlife, which are then used to consider the possible risks from organophosphorus insecticides.
TL;DR: The small tortoiseshell is normally thought of as a butterfly which lays eggs in batches on the underside of the leaves of the stinging nettle, Urtica dioica, but may gain advantage in terms of survivability by doing so by living gregariously up until their final instar.
