Phylogeny, systematics and evolution of mimicry patterns in Neotropical limenitidine butterflies

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The most comprehensive phylogeny for Adelpha reveals that it is not monophyletic, supporting the description of the new genus Adelphina for the alala‐group. The rate of mimicry evolution increases towards the tropics, consistent with the hypothesis of stronger biotic interactions near the equator.

Polyphyly and gene flow between non-sibling Heliconius species

, 2006
Background: The view that gene flow between related animal species is rare and evolutionarily unimportant largely antedates sensitive molecular techniques.

Geographic variation of melanisation patterns in a hornet species: genetic differences, climatic pressures or aposematic constraints? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Coloration of stinging insects is often based on contrasted patterns of light and black pigmentations as a warning signal to predators. However, in many social wasp species, geographic variation drastically modifies this signal through melanic ...

Intestinal Atresia in PPP1R12A ‐Related Urogenital and Brain Malformation Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 197, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT PPP1R12A‐related urogenital and brain malformation syndrome (UBMS) is a newly described disorder characterized by congenital anomalies primarily involving the urogenital system and the brain. We describe a preterm female neonate with multiple congenital anomalies, including type IIIb jejunal atresia, incomplete intestinal rotation, imperforate

Data from: Diversity in Müllerian mimicry: the optimal predator sampling strategy explains both local and regional polymorphism in prey

, 2015
The convergent evolution of warning signals in unpalatable species, known as Müllerian mimicry, has been observed in a wide variety of taxonomic groups.

ATRX: From Chromatin Remodeling to Disease

genesis, Volume 63, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Chromatin remodeling proteins are evolutionarily conserved factors involved in a wide range of biological processes. In this review, we describe ATRX, a chromatin remodeling protein belonging to the SWI/SNF2 family. Its association with different protein complexes, and its roles in embryonic development, sexual differentiation, as well as ...

Variation of chemical compounds in wild Heliconiini reveals ecological factors involved in the evolution of chemical defenses in mimetic butterflies

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Evolutionary convergence of color pattern in mimetic species is tightly linked with the evolution of chemical defenses. Yet, the evolutionary forces involved in natural variations of chemical defenses in aposematic species are still understudied. Herein,

FIGO committee opinion: Environmental drivers of gynecologic and reproductive health

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 171, Issue 3, Page 1008-1021, December 2025.
Abstract This FIGO committee opinion paper addresses the growing body of evidence linking environmental exposures to common gynecologic and reproductive conditions across the life course. From adolescence through menopause, women are exposed to a wide range of environmental toxicants, including endocrine‐disrupting chemicals, air pollutants, heavy ...

Can experienced birds select for Müllerian mimicry?

Field experiments have shown that avian predators in the wild can select for similarity of warning signals in aposematic prey (Müllerian mimicry) because a common signal is better protected than a signal that is novel and rare.
