Parallel evolution of ancient, pleiotropic enhancers underlies butterfly wing pattern mimicry
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Color pattern mimicry in Heliconius butterflies provides a key example of trait evolution via selection on large effect genes. To understand how individual genes drive the evolution of new, complex traits, we functionally characterized 5 ...

Inhibitor of DNA binding‐1 is a key regulator of cancer cell vasculogenic mimicry
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Elevated expression of transcriptional regulator inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (ID1) promoted cancer cell‐mediated vasculogenic mimicry (VM) through regulation of pro‐angiogenic and pro‐cancerous genes (e.g. VE‐cadherin (CDH5), TIE2, MMP9, DKK1). Higher ID1 expression also increased metastases to the lung and the liver.

Defying Maintenance Mimesis: The Case of Somewhere over the Balcony by Charabanc Theatre Company
Text Matters, 2018 Making reference to Luce Irigaray’s definitions of mimesis and mimicry, and the ways in which these concepts respectively reinforce and challenge the phallogocentric order, this article investigates the representation of the Troubles in the play ...

Mimicry and mitonuclear discordance in nudibranchs: New insights from exon capture phylogenomics
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Phylogenetic inference and species delimitation can be challenging in taxonomic groups that have recently radiated and where introgression produces conflicting gene trees, especially when species delimitation has traditionally relied on mitochondrial ...

Is Mimicry Advantageous? [PDF]
Nature, 1870 THE discussion of mimicry among butterflies, in the recent numbers of this Journal, has brought to my mind some considerations which seem to have been overlooked by those who have treated the subject.

Mimicry of emergent traits amplifies coastal restoration success
Nature Communications, 2020 Restoration is becoming a vital tool to counteract coastal ecosystem degradation. Modifying transplant designs of habitat-forming organisms from dispersed to clumped can amplify coastal restoration yields as it generates self-facilitation from emergent ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Breast cancer metastasis is associated with myeloid cell dysregulation and the lung‐specific accumulation of tumor‐supportive Gr1+ cells. Gr1+ cells support metastasis, in part, through a CHI3L1‐mediated mechanism, which can be targeted and inhibited with cargo‐free, polymeric nanoparticles.

Honey Bee Alarm Pheromone Mediates Communication in Plant–Pollinator–Predator Interactions
Insects, 2019 Honey bees play a crucial role in pollination, and in performing this critical function, face numerous threats from predators and parasites during foraging and homing trips.

The influence of group membership on cross-contextual imitation [PDF]
, 2015 Research on mimicry has demonstrated that individuals imitate in-group members more strongly than out-group members. In the present study, we tested whether such top-down modulation also applies for more extreme forms of direct mapping, such as for cross-
