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.

Recruitment of Native Pollinators and Dispersers by Lonicera japonica May Facilitate Its Invasion and Its Potential Threat to Local Biodiversity

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Lonicera japonica is a plant native to Asia that has been widely used in landscaping as an ornamental plant, but has escaped cultivation and become invasive in several countries. This study examined the reproductive phenology, pollinator attraction, and potential dispersal mechanisms of L.

Nocturnal Lepidopterans as Essential Pollinators of Aspidosperma pyrifolium (Apocynaceae), a Keystone Tree in the Caatinga Dry Forest

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 351-363, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Pollination is a key ecosystem service, yet most studies focus on diurnal interactions, often overlooking nocturnal pollinators such as hawkmoths and settling moths. In arid environments, nocturnal pollination plays a crucial role in maintaining native plant species of high biocultural value, as seen in the Caatinga dry forest.
