Diel activity correlates with colour pattern morphology of heterobranch sea slugs. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe authors show that daytime activity fundamentally shapes the appearance of prey animals to potential predators and that colour pattern phenotypes likely associated with visual signalling are predominantly found in diurnal species of sea slugs. This study showcases novel methodology combining comparative phylogenetic analyses, animal vision modelling,

Antibiotics accelerate growth at the expense of immunity. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2021 Microbial contributions to the protection of insects can impact on a host’s fitness but the dynamics of these symbioses can vary more than many nutritional-symbiont associations seen in the literature.

Current evidence of climate-driven colour change in insects and its impact on sexual signals. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur review will provide current information about how climatic factors, such as temperature, precipitation, and humidity impact on insect's colour and sexual signals. In addition, we discussed about the counter mechanisms that insects usually take place to adapt with the changing climate.

American Journal of Analytical Chemistry, 2020 Fifteen subspecies of the wood tiger moth, Arctia plantaginis (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae), have been recorded in the Northern Hemisphere. An analysis of crude pheromone extracts by GC equipped with an electroantennographic (EAG) detector showed

Context-dependent coloration of prey and predator decision making in contrasting light environments. [PDF]
Behav Ecol, 2022 A big question in behavioural ecology is what drives diversity of colour signals. The dataset covers the testing of the context-dependent predator selection on prey coloration.

Multimodal Aposematic Defenses Through the Predation Sequence
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Aposematic organisms warn predators of their unprofitability using a combination of defenses, including visual warning signals, startling sounds, noxious odors, or aversive tastes.

ChemBioChem, Volume 24, Issue 19, October 4, 2023., 2023 Pyrazines are ubiquitous in nature and biosynthesized by microorganisms, insects, and plants. Especially 3‐alkyl‐2‐methoxypyrazines (MPs) play a key role as important aroma compounds in foods. Recently, in vivo feeding experiments with stable isotope labeled compounds revealed l‐leucine and l‐serine as important precursors for IBMP. This discovery gave

The (non) accuracy of mitochondrial genomes for family‐level phylogenetics in Erebidae (Lepidoptera)
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 695-707, November 2022., 2022 Abstract The use of molecular data to study the evolutionary history of organisms has revolutionized the field of systematics. Now with the appearance of high throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies, more and more genetic sequence data are available. One of the important sources of genetic data for phylogenetic analyses has been mitochondrial DNA. The
