Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe. [PDF]
Ecol EvolA newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

Response and Plasticity of a Cleaning Mutualism Following Short Term Reductions in Habitat Availability [PDF]
Ecol EvolOn coral reef ecosystems, cleaning mutualisms where a ‘cleaner’ species removes parasites from a ‘client’ species at dedicated cleaning ‘stations’ on live coral are directly impacted by ongoing declines in live coral due to environmental change. We reduced cleaner fish access to live habitat and identified declines in mutualist service quality and ...

Wallacea, a Linguistic Area [PDF]
Archipel, 2015 Wallacea is home to languages of the Austronesian language family, and to languages from multiple Papuan, or non-Austronesian, language families. It has long been observed that the Austronesian languages of Wallacea display Papuan influences. Some linguists have attempted to define linguistic Wallacea (albeit under other names) in terms of this ...
