Host plants and butterfly biology. Do host‐plant strategies drive butterfly status?

Abstract.  1. To determine whether rarity and decline is linked to organism ecology, associations have been examined between butterfly larval host‐plant competitive, stress‐tolerant, ruderal (C‐S‐R) strategies and butterfly biology.
