Tetraopes Milkweed Beetle Genomes Elucidate the Adaptive Basis of a Temperate Coevolutionary Radiation. [PDF]
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 ...

A First Quantification of Plant Endemism in the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe-Mozambique) and the Significance of Open Habitats. [PDF]
We present here the first quantitative assessment of plant endemics from the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe‐Mozambique), totalling 216 taxa, representing over 9% of the estimated total flora. A major finding is that 173 (80%) endemic taxa are principally or entirely confined to open montane habitats such as grassland, bare rock, crags and scrub or dwarf ...

First Record of Dark-sided Flycatcher (<i>Muscicapa sibirica</i>) for Temperate North America: Intercontinental Vagrancy and Migratory Misorientation. [PDF]
We document the extraordinary occurrence of a Dark‐sided Flycatcher (Muscicapa sibirica)—a migratory passerine from East Asia—in California, USA. We discuss the little‐known phenomenon of intercontinental vagrancy in migratory landbirds and examine this case study in detail, providing analysis of the age, molt status, subspecies, and likely origins of ...

The renaming of Asclepias xysmalobioides with Asclepias montevaga (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae)
Asclepias xysmalobioides Hilliard & B.L. Burtt (1986: 193) is a later homonym of Asclepias xysmalobioides S. Moore (1912: 342). There are no valid synonyms available, and so we propose the new name Asclepias montevaga M. Glen, Nicholas & Bester here.
