ABSTRACT Aim Uncovering the effects of Müllerian mimetic interactions on the evolution of species niches and geographic distributions at a continental scale. Location Neotropics and part of Nearctic. Time Period 19th century to present, with most data collected within the last 30 years.

Prey often evolve defences to deter predators, such as noxious chemicals including toxins. Toxic species often advertise their defence to potential predators by distinctive sensory signals.

Proportions of aposematic colouration in bees and wasps (Hymenoptera, Aculeata) and their main mimics – hoverflies, clearwing moths and longhorn beetles [PDF]
Although bees and wasps are well known as aposematically coloured insects, the role of their aposematic patterns has not been studied to the same extent as other animal and insect groups, i.e., butterflies or beetles.

Blue reflectance in tarantulas is evolutionarily conserved despite nanostructural diversity [PDF]
Slight shifts in arrangement within biological photonic nanostructures can produce large color differences, and sexual selection often leads to high color diversity in clades with structural colors. We use phylogenetic reconstruction, electron microscopy,

Mutualistic interactions shape global spatial congruence and climatic niche evolution in Neotropical mimetic butterflies [PDF]
Understanding the mechanisms underlying species distributions and coexistence is both a priority and a challenge for biodiversity hotspots such as the Neotropics.

Social transmission of avoidance among predators facilitates the spread of novel prey [PDF]
Warning signals are an effective defence strategy for aposematic prey, but only if they are recognized by potential predators. If predators must eat prey to associate novel warning signals with unpalatability, how can aposematic prey ever evolve?

Progression of the field depends on convergence of information technology, operational technology and protocol-agnostic telecommunications. Making sense of the data, ability to curate data and perform data analytics at the edge (or mist rather than in ...

Phylogeny as population history [PDF]
The construction and use of phylogenetic trees is central to modern systematics. But it is unclear exactly what phylogenies and phylogenetic trees represent.

Progress in Construction and Analysis of Evolutionary Research Framework for Butterflies
Understanding the origins of animal diversity and their adaptive evolutionary mechanisms is one of the core issues in modern biology. Animal traits such as morphology, coloration, and behavior are shaped synergistically by the species' genetics and ...

Dietary source for skin alkaloids of Dendrobatid poison frogs [PDF]
Žabe porodice Dendrobatidae sadrže otrovne alkaloide u kožnim žlijezdama. Dugo se smatralo da ih same sintetiziraju, no istraživanjem je dokazano kako su alkaloidi ipak porijeklom od malih člankonožaca kojima se hrane.
