The “Pale bordered field cockroach” Pseudomops septentrionalis Hebard, 1917 has not been previously reported in the Mexican state of Nuevo León; therefore, we publish this new record and include photographs taken in the laboratory and extracted from the ...

Historical changes in thermoregulatory traits of alpine butterflies reveal complex ecological and evolutionary responses to recent climate change [PDF]
Background Trait evolution and plasticity are expected to interactively influence responses to climate change, but rapid changes in and increased variability of temperature may limit evolutionary responses. We use historical specimens to document changes

In order to understand molecular and genetic mechanism of color pattern formation, not only adult phenotypes but also processes and mechanisms of color production and pattern formation during embryonic and postembryonic stages should be described.

Ionizing radiation and melanism in Chornobyl tree frogs
Human actions are altering ecosystems worldwide. Among human‐released pollutants, ionizing radiation arises as a rare but potentially devastating threat to natural systems.

Two New Aberrant Forms of Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly From the Great Lakes Hybrid/Transition Zone (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) [PDF]
Two aberrant forms of the tiger swallowtail butterfly. Papilio glaucus, are described. Both of these aberration types (one in a male, the other in females) are believed to be previously unreported and both are from the Great Lakes hybrid zone and plant ...

There is arguably no other North American species that better illustrates the complexities of the human-wildlife interface than the coyote. In this study, a melanistic coyote in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia was exhibiting unusually bold behaviors that ...

ABSTRACT Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) of the lung is an exceedingly rare salivary gland‐type neoplasm with limited cytomorphologic description. We report a case highlighting these features. A 3 mm incidental left‐airway lesion enlarged to 7 mm over 5 months, prompting radial endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)‐guided transbronchial biopsy. Touch

Social huddling and physiological thermoregulation are related to melanism in the nocturnal barn owl. [PDF]
Endothermic animals vary in their physiological ability to maintain a constant body temperature. Since melanin-based coloration is related to thermoregulation and energy homeostasis, we predict that dark and pale melanic individuals adopt different ...

True dung beetles are a speciose group of ecosystem engineers that play key roles as detritivores in natural and agricultural landscapes. Scarabaeine beetles show strong thermal plasticity and there is increasing evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence in response to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales, with likely consequences ...
