Genome editing in butterflies reveals that spalt promotes and Distal-less represses eyespot colour patterns

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Butterfly eyespot colour patterns are a key example of how a novel trait can appear in association with the co-option of developmental patterning genes. Little is known, however, about how, or even whether, co-opted genes function in eyespot development.

Facile Bottom‐Up Assembly of Photonic Micropatterns via Surface‐Guided Colloidal Crystallization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
High‐resolution photonic micropatterns with vivid structural colors are fabricated through bottom‐up assembly, guided by surface‐dependent regioselective heterogeneous nucleation and crystal growth of colloidal particles. Full‐spectrum color tunability is achieved by controlling particle size and interparticle attraction, while in situ color mixing is ...

Baselining Urban Ecosystems from Sentinel Species: Fitness, Flows, and Sinks

open access: yesEntropy
How can the shape of biodiversity inform us about cities’ ecoclimatic fitness and guide their development? Can we use species as the harbingers of climatic extremes? Eco-climatically sensitive species carry information about hydroclimatic change in their

Faunal patterns in Tuscan archipelago butterflies (Lepidoptera): The dominant influence is recent geography not paleogeography

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2007
The aim of this paper is to examine whether current and/or Pleistocene geography affect the species richness and composition of Tuscan archipelago butterflies. This archipelago is located between Tuscany (Italy) and Corsica (France).

The evolutionary convergence of mid-Mesozoic lacewings and Cenozoic butterflies

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
Mid-Mesozoic kalligrammatid lacewings (Neuroptera) entered the fossil record 165 million years ago (Ma) and disappeared 45 Ma later. Extant papilionoid butterflies (Lepidoptera) probably originated 80–70 Ma, long after kalligrammatids became extinct ...

Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Inspired Microneedle Platform for NIR‐responsive Immunomodulation and Accelerated Chronic Wound Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The research demonstrates a Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐inspired microneedle platform (MSCi@MN) that addresses chronic diabetic wounds by combining MSC‐derived extracellular nanovesicles (NV)–DNA conjugates in microneedle tips with photothermal MXene in the patch layer.

Variation in Timing and Abundance of Elfins (Callophrys) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) in Wisconsin During 1987-1999 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In Wisconsin during 1987-1999, we recorded elfin (Callophrys) individuals on 154 of 254 observation dates between 2 April and 11 July. The frosted elfin (C. irus) occurred only in central Wisconsin; brown (C. augustinus), hoary (C.

Rainbow Photonic Crystals: Self‐Assembly of Carbohydrate Bottlebrushes Block Copolymers

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Full‐color reflective 1D photonic crystals, capable of a tunable, responsive, and reversible color with high repeatability, are created from the self‐assembly of carbohydrate‐based brush block copolymers (BR01‐04). Abstract Tunable and responsive photonic crystal systems are the subject of great research interest owing to their ability to actively ...

Correspondence of butterfly and host plant diversity: Foundation for habitat restoration and conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
At a spatial scale, the diversity of butterflies varies with numerous factors including the availability of the host plant species. In parity with this proposition, the correspondence of diversity of butterfly and plant in the background of the ...
