X-ray phase contrast imaging of biological specimens with tabletop synchrotron radiation [PDF]
, 2011 Since their discovery in 1896, x-rays have had a profound impact on science, medicine and technology. Here we show that the x-rays from a novel tabletop source of bright coherent synchrotron radiation can be applied to phase contrast imaging of ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

A century of theories of balancing selection
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Traits that affect organismal fitness are often highly genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that nature – after all – ‘selects’ the best genotypes at the expense of those that fall short.

Diversity of UV Reflection Patterns in Odonata
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) are large-eyed diurnal insects that exhibit a variety of color patterns on their wings and/or bodies. Because Odonata can perceive light with wavelengths extending from ultraviolet (UV) to red, the color patterns ...
