Combining target enrichment and Sanger sequencing data to clarify the systematics of the diverse Neotropical butterfly subtribe Euptychiina (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 498-570, October 2023., 2023
We present a molecular phylogeny of the Neotropical butterfly subtribe Euptychiina, including 449 described and undescribed species By using a combination of target enrichment and Sanger sequencing data we avoid long‐branch attraction effects and clarify the systematics of the clade.

Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs. [PDF]

Nanophotonics
Abstract Spontaneous emission is one of the most fundamental out‐of‐equilibrium processes in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. In this process, a photon is emitted that can interact with other nearby emitters and establish quantum correlations between them, e.g., via super and subradiance effects.
