Are Toxic Butterflies More Easily Detected by Human ‘Predators’?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Aposematic signals are often thought to be conspicuous and stable across environments. Yet, butterflies can have distinct colours on their dorsal and ventral sides which contradict this prediction. We found that despite toxic butterflies having similar detectability on both sides, only dorsal detectability positively correlated with toxicity.

High Contrast Markings Can Negate the Benefits of Transparent Camouflage
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Transparency is perhaps theoretically the most efficient means of achieving camouflage; however, in application, species show considerable variance in their degree of transparency. We demonstrate the fragility of transparent camouflage, detailing how imperfections reduce efficacy with implications in predation risk. ABSTRACT Transparency is, in theory,

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract The presently most densely sampled molecular phylogeny of the widespread New World subtribe Gonolobinae is presented, including about 35% of the ca. 520 species. Sampling focused on an even representation of the three main areas of total Gonolobinae distribution, South America, Central/North America, and the West Indian Islands, and the ...

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 599-617, April 2026.The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...
