Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.The study provides an extreme example of insect adaptation to highly toxic defenses of host plants, and investigates the complex strategies to resist carcinogenic aristolochic acids, including physical isolation, metabolic detoxification, and DNA repair.

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.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.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 ...

Two Thousand Generations of Hybridisation in a Heliconius Butterfly [PDF]
Evolution, 1971 The neotropical butterfly Heliconius melpomnene (L.) is extremely polymorphic in some parts of its range. About fifty varieties have been named from three localities in the west of Guyane (French Guiana), where perhaps many thousands of specimens have been collected for export by dealers (Joicey and Kaye, 1917; 1919).
