Community‐level effects of Müllerian mimicry on pollinator diversity and functioning

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 599-610, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Müllerian mimicry, a mutualistic interaction in which harmful species evolve similar warning signals, is often accompanied by niche divergence among mimetic species. While these aspects have traditionally been studied in an evolutionary context, their community‐level ...

Mito‐nuclear discordance at a mimicry color transition zone in bumble bee Bombus melanopygus

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
As hybrid zones exhibit selective patterns of gene flow between otherwise distinct lineages, they can be especially valuable for informing processes of microevolution and speciation.

Cutaneous Ciliated Cyst of the Ear

open access: yesPediatric Dermatology, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 391-394, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Cutaneous ciliated cysts are rare benign lesions initially observed exclusively in the lower extremities of young females. Since their first descriptions, there have been numerous case reports of the entity occurring in males and females, in varying anatomical locations. Here, we present a case of cutaneous ciliated cyst reported for the first

Molecular phylogenetic evidence for a mimetic radiation in Peruvian poison frogs supports a Müllerian mimicry hypothesis.

open access: yes, 2001
Examples of Müllerian mimicry, in which resemblance between unpalatable species confers mutual benefit, are rare in vertebrates. Strong comparative evidence for mimicry is found when the colour and pattern of a single species closely resemble several ...

Ex Vivo Spatiotemporal Characterization of Spermatogenesis in Mouse Testicular Organoids

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
To date, in vitro spermatogenesis remains a challenge in reproductive medicine. In this study, Sun et al. developed a promising in vitro strategy to generate testicular organoids that enable germ cells from newborn mice to enter meiosis, complete chromosome recombination and synapsis, and develop into haploid spermatids.

Melanic variation underlies aposematic color variation in two hymenopteran mimicry systems. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The stinging hymenopteran velvet ants (Mutillidae) and bumble bees (Apidae: Bombus spp.) have both undergone extensive diversification in aposematic color patterns, including yellow-red hues and contrasting dark-light body coloration, as a result of ...

The roles of hybridization and habitat fragmentation in the evolution of Brazil’s enigmatic longwing butterflies, Heliconius nattereri and H. hermathena

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2020
Background Heliconius butterflies are widely distributed across the Neotropics and have evolved a stunning array of wing color patterns that mediate Müllerian mimicry and mating behavior.

The Development of the Human Female Reproductive Tract: Part 2—Vagina

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 112-131, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Urogenital epithelium replaces the original paramesonephric (Müllerian) epithelium in the human fetal vagina. We re‐investigated this cell replacement histologically and with three‐dimensional reconstructions. In the lesser pelvis, both Müllerian ducts fuse to form the uterovaginal canal.

Colors and Some Morphological Traits as Defensive Mechanisms in Anurans

open access: yesInternational Journal of Zoology, 2009
Anurans may be brightly colored or completely cryptic. Generally, in the former situation, we are dealing with aposematism, and the latter is an example of camouflage.
