A Cis‐Regulatory Duplication in a Hox Hotspot Implicated in Mimetic Convergence in the Bumble Bee Bombus flavifrons

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 17, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Several species of North American bumble bees spanning the Pacific Coastal and Rocky Mountain regions converge onto distinct mimetic abdominal colour forms for each region by switching abdominal coloration from black to red. Previous genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) of red and black transitions in two mimics (Bombus melanopygus and ...

Eyespots in Automeris Moths Mimic Sympatric Owl Species (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Eyespot mimicry is a common anti‐predator strategy in moths, yet the mechanism underlying its effectiveness in Automeris remains unresolved. Using species distribution models, convolutional neural networks, and saliency mapping, we show that Automeris eyespots are visually confusable with sympatric owl eyes and that this similarity is concentrated in ...

Novel WSN Coverage Optimization Strategy via Monarch Butterfly Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization

Wireless Personal Communications, 2022
Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) show disadvantages of redundancy and relatively high network cost. Aiming at the problems of redundancy and increased network cost in the deployment of nodes in the wireless sensor network. Taking network coverage as the optimization goal, combined with the probability perception model, a new WSN ...

Efficacy of Select Gene Targets for the Management of Western Flower Thrips Through RNA Interference

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, July 2026.
Western flower thrips (WFT) cause extensive damage to crops. RNA interference (RNAi) is being extensively researched for the management of this pest. We successfully demonstrated the uptake of dsRNA by WFT through artificial diet feeding and identified Promising new targets for the development of RNAi‐based pesticides have been identified.
