Phylogenetic Codivergence Supports Coevolution of Mimetic Heliconius Butterflies [PDF]

, 2012
The unpalatable and warning-patterned butterflies _Heliconius erato_ and _Heliconius melpomene_ provide the best studied example of mutualistic Müllerian mimicry, thought – but rarely demonstrated – to promote coevolution.

Drivers of Shrub Community Assembly in Semi-Arid Ecosystems: Integrated Evidence from Environmental Stress on the Western Loess Plateau

Biology
Shrub communities play an irreplaceable role in maintaining ecological security in the stressed habitat areas of Northwest China. In these areas, multiple types of shrublands coexist simultaneously. Their diversity levels and community assembly processes
