Comparative transcriptomic analysis of a wing-dimorphic stonefly reveals candidate wing loss genes [PDF]
EvoDevo, 2019 The genetic basis of wing development has been well characterised for model insect species, but remains poorly understood in phylogenetically divergent, non-model taxa. Wing-polymorphic insect species potentially provide ideal systems for unravelling the genetic basis of secondary wing reduction.

European Journal of Entomology, 2018 At the southern limit of its range the endangered butterfly Coenonympha oedippus inhabits grasslands (wet, dry) that differ significantly in the abundance of its larval hostplants (wet > dry) and mean annual air temperature (wet < dry).

Wing sexual dimorphism in Aedes fluviatilis (Diptera: Culicidae)
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2016 Culicidae mosquitoes are important vectors of pathogens; however, males and females have different responses to selective pressures, leading to distinct evolutionary outcomes. A better understanding of this phenomenon is crucial to establish effective control strategies for this mosquito.

Wing Dimorphisms and the Evolution of Migratory Polymorphisms among the Insecta [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1991 Many species of insects exhibit wing dimorphism, one morph having fully developed wings and the other morph having reduced wings and being incapable of flight. These wing dimorphisms provide visible manifestations of migratory polymorphisms. Since winged individuals do not, in principle, have to fly, the existence of forms with reduced wings suggests ...

Sexual dimorphism in the wing shape and size of the carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایران, 2007 The carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller), belongs to the family Pyralidae and the subfamily Phycitinae. In spite of some features of sexual dimorphism in size and shape in the order Lepidoptera and the mentioned family, it has not been recorded in

Sexual Size Dimorphism and Body Condition in the Australasian Gannet. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Sexual size dimorphism is widespread throughout seabird taxa and several drivers leading to its evolution have been hypothesised. While the Australasian Gannet (Morus serrator) has previously been considered nominally monomorphic, recent studies have ...

Wing dimorphism as an adaptive strategy in water-striders (Gerris) [PDF]
Hereditas, 2009 Several hypotheses have been suggested to account for the adaptive significance of the different wing morphs in water-striders (Gerris, Heteroptera). Stability and isolation of population sites should favour short-wingedness; increased rates of population extinction should increase the fitness of the long-winged individuals. Further, if the populations

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...
