When Similar Individuals Don't Attract: Absence of Assortative Mating by Coloration in a Damselfly With Honest Signaling

Ethology, EarlyView.
In Acanthagrion lancea damselflies, both sexes display blue ornamentation, but do they choose mates based on it? We tested whether mutual mate choice and time constraints influence ornament evolution. Blue coloration correlated with individual quality, but individuals did not choose mates based on color, and this was unaffected by time constraints over

TNF‑α Gene Polymorphisms as Determinants of Alloantibody Emergence in Hemophilia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Inhibitor development remains one of the most serious complications of replacement therapy in patients with hemophilia. Tumour necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) is a key pro‐inflammatory cytokine, and its genetic variants have been implicated in immune‐related conditions.

How much sampling is enough? Four decades of understorey bird mist‐netting across Amazonia define the minimum effort to uncover species assemblage structure

Ibis, EarlyView.
Mist‐net sampling comprises a key methodological component of assemblage‐wide avifaunal studies, particularly in the understorey of closed‐canopy tropical forests. To investigate mist‐net bird captures and species assemblage structure, we compiled data from 312 sites across the Pan‐Amazon.

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Seasonal dynamics in terrestrial insect communities after the impact of the Brumadinho tailings dam disaster

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Despite severe habitat loss, insect species richness, seasonal fluctuations in richness and temporal β‐diversity did not differ significantly among forests adjacent to the mudflow and reference sites. We found higher wet‐season species richness for ants, bees, butterflies and dung beetles, while termites showed no seasonal change; β‐diversity was ...
