Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Diverse Saturniidae moth communities are found in naturally recovering tropical forests in Ecuador. Community composition showed a gradual turnover with strongest differences between old‐growth forest and active agriculture, but only weak differences in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity. While our results suggest that Saturniidae are not

Alkaloid defenses of co-mimics in a putative Müllerian mimetic radiation [PDF]
, 2014 Background Polytypism in aposematic species is unlikely according to theory, but commonly seen in nature. Ranitomeya imitator is a poison frog species exhibiting polytypic mimicry of three congeneric model species (R. fantastica, R.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Fearful symmetry in aposematic plants [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2011 Symmetry has been proposed to increase the efficiency of visual aposematic displays in animals, and I suggest that it may also be true for many aposematic spiny or poisonous plants. For instance, in the very spiny plant taxa cacti, Aloe sp., Agave sp.

THE EVOLUTION OF APOSEMATISM IN MARINE GASTROPODS [PDF]
Evolution, 1991 In a recent review of the literature on marine gastropods, Rosenberg (1989) concludes that in this group,".. . as in the lepidopterans, . . . individual selection is the predominant mode of evolution of warning coloration." Rosenberg's analysis raises interesting issues concerning the evolution of aposematism generally, and in marine gastropods in ...

Optical Diversity and Nanostructural Organization in the Colored Scales of Sternotomis
Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 12, 25 March 2026.Vivid colors in Sternotomis beetles originate from nanoscale photonic architectures embedded within individual scales. Here, we provide a comparative optical and structural analysis of 57 scale types that reveal how ordered, quasi‐ordered, and disordered 3D networks tune color, saturation, and angular response.

The Genetic Basis of Color Polymorphism in the Orb‐Web Spider Gasteracantha cancriformis
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study investigates the genetic basis of coloration in the polymorphic spider Gasteracantha cancriformis using RNA‐seq data from different female color morphs. We assembled a reference transcriptome and identified differentially expressed genes associated with known pigmentation pathways, including carotenoids, melanin, ommochromes, and pteridines.

Inferring Predator Behavior from Attack Rates on Prey-Replicas That Differ in Conspicuousness [PDF]
, 2014 Behavioral ecologists and evolutionary biologists have long studied how predators respond to prey items novel in color and pattern. Because a predatory response is influenced by both the predator’s ability to detect the prey and a post-detection ...
