Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship
genesis, Volume 64, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The classical definition of metamorphosis is a post‐embryonic transformation, such as from a tadpole to a froglet. However, recent studies suggest this process occurs to some degree in all vertebrates, as the underlying endocrine and molecular pathways are highly conserved. With the advent of high‐throughput sequencing, transcriptomic data for

An integrated framework to identify and characterize regional‐scale insect dispersal
Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.Abstract Forest pest insects cause major socio‐economic impacts, global losses of millions of dollars, and ecosystem changes. A key challenge for their management is tracing regional dispersal events critical to outbreak dynamics. We developed an integrated tracing framework for pest insects by combining isotope geolocation, ecological data, and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We evaluated how landscape features, including fire, influence genetic connectivity for three small mammal species in northern Australian savannas. Using resistance surface modelling across two islands with contrasting disturbance regimes, we found that fire, rainfall, and topography affected gene flow in species‐ and scale‐specific ways.

Genomics of Caddisfly (Insecta: Trichoptera) Species Associated With Terrestrial Habitats
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Species of Limnephilidae (tube case making caddisflies (Trichoptera)) occur across a wide range of habitats, from cold headwater streams to stagnant pools to even terrestrial environments. We present high‐quality genome assemblies and annotations from two species that are associated with terrestrial environments: Enoicyla pusilla (Burmeister, 1839) and

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We investigate the stratification of five clades of Lepidoptera: Erebidae‐Arctiinae, Geometridae, Hedylidae, Saturniidae, and Sphingidae in a tropical rain forest of the Chocó region in NW Ecuador. Average species richness was higher in the understory, median sample sizes were similar between strata and we found more species in regenerating forests ...

Are Toxic Butterflies More Easily Detected by Human ‘Predators’?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Aposematic signals are often thought to be conspicuous and stable across environments. Yet, butterflies can have distinct colours on their dorsal and ventral sides which contradict this prediction. We found that despite toxic butterflies having similar detectability on both sides, only dorsal detectability positively correlated with toxicity.

Enhancing Species Distribution Models by Considering Dispersal Ability
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We designed an experiment using 10 species with varying dispersal abilities, comparing their potential future distributions under realistic dispersal constraints versus assumptions of unlimited dispersal. Our results demonstrate that ignoring dispersal limitations leads to a significant overprediction of suitable habitats.

High Contrast Markings Can Negate the Benefits of Transparent Camouflage
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Transparency is perhaps theoretically the most efficient means of achieving camouflage; however, in application, species show considerable variance in their degree of transparency. We demonstrate the fragility of transparent camouflage, detailing how imperfections reduce efficacy with implications in predation risk. ABSTRACT Transparency is, in theory,
