Interspecific variation in beeswax as a biological construction material [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 SUMMARY Beeswax is a multicomponent material used by bees in the genus Apis to house larvae and store honey and pollen. We characterized the mechanical properties of waxes from four honeybee species: Apis mellifera L., Apis andreniformis L., Apis dorsata L. and two subspecies of Apis cerana L.

Geographic variation in advertisement calls in a tree frog species: gene flow and selection hypotheses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In a species with a large distribution relative to its dispersal capacity, geographic variation in traits may be explained by gene flow, selection, or the combined effects of both.

Phylogenetic relationships in Betula (Betulaceae) based on AFLP markers [PDF]
, 2008 The genus Betula comprises various species in boreal and temperate climate zones of the Northern Hemisphere. The taxonomy of Betula is controversial and complicated by parallel evolution of morphological traits, polyploidization events, and extensive ...

Recombination and Large Structural Variations Shape Interspecific Edible Bananas Genomes [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2018 Admixture and polyploidization are major recognized eukaryotic genome evolutionary processes. Their impacts on genome dynamics vary among systems and are still partially deciphered. Many banana cultivars are triploid (sometimes diploid) interspecific hybrids between Musa acuminata (A genome) and M. balbisiana (B genome).

Higher gregarine parasitism often in sibling species of host damselflies with smaller geographical distributions [PDF]
, 2012 1. This study investigated inter-specific variation in parasitism by gregarines (Eugregarinorida: Actinocephalidae), among sibling species of damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera), in relation to relative size of geographical ranges of host species.

Predation risk reduces a female preference for heterospecific males in the green swordtail [PDF]
, 2016 The presence of a predator can result in the alteration, loss or reversal of a mating preference. Under predation risk, females often change their initial preference for conspicuous males, favouring less flashy males to reduce the risk of being detected ...

Climate tolerance and interspecific variation in geographic range size [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 The fact that climate influences the continental-scale distributions of species is one of the central tenets of ecology and biogeography. Equally elemental is that species exhibit enormous variation in geographic range size, with most occupying comparatively small areas. The degree to which climate can account for this variation remains unclear.
