Genomic Hotspots for Adaptation: The Population Genetics of Mullerian Mimicry in the Heliconius melpomene Clade [PDF]
, 2010 Wing patterning in Heliconius butterflies is a longstanding example of both Mullerian mimicry and phenotypic radiation under strong natural selection. The loci controlling such patterns are "hotspots" for adaptive evolution with great allelic diversity ...

Table_2_Novel Temporal Expression Patterns of EBF-Binding Proteins in Wing Morphs of The Grain Aphid Sitobion miscanthi.DOCX [PDF]
, 2021 High chemosensitivity of insects to volatile organic compounds (VOC) stimuli is mediated by odorant binding proteins (OBPs). In aphids, three OBPs (OBP3, OBP7 and OBP9) are E-β-farnesene (EBF)-binding proteins.

Mean wing shapes for Polythore wing morphs from landmark analysis. [PDF]
, 2015 Fifty landmarks were taken from individuals of the 7 wing morphs, Procrustes superimposed, and averaged together for each wing morph. Outline landmarks (LMs 1–14) are dashed; color bands (LMs 15–50) are solid lines and numbered from I to VI.

Substrate-borne vibration in Pacific field cricket courtship displays [PDF]
Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2021 While thought to be widely used for animal communication, substrate-borne vibration is relatively unexplored compared to other modes of communication.

Seasonal polyphenism in Eristalis pertinax (Diptera: Syrphidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2016 Eristalis pertinax varies seasonally, with the spring morph more hairy than the summer morph. We measured the size and the venation of the wings of the seasonal morphs.

De novo transcriptome assembly from fat body and flight muscles transcripts to identify morph-specific gene expression profiles in Gryllus firmus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Wing polymorphism is a powerful model for examining many aspects of adaptation. The wing dimorphic cricket species, Gryllus firmus, consists of a long-winged morph with functional flight muscles that is capable of flight, and two flightless morphs.

Wing Dimorphism in Aphids [PDF]
, 2006 Many species of insects display dispersing and nondispersing morphs. Among these, aphids are one of the best examples of taxa that have evolved specialized morphs for dispersal versus reproduction.

Colour polymorphism associated with a gene duplication in male wood tiger moths
eLife, 2023 Colour is often used as an aposematic warning signal, with predator learning expected to lead to a single colour pattern within a population. However, there are many puzzling cases where aposematic signals are also polymorphic.
