Colour alone matters : no predator generalization among morphs of an aposematic moth [PDF]
, 2018 Local warning colour polymorphism, frequently observed in aposematic organisms, is evolutionarily puzzling. This is because variation in aposematic signals is expected to be selected against due to predators' difficulties associating several signals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Male-specific flight apparatus development in Acyrthosiphon pisum (Aphididae, Hemiptera, Insecta): comparison with female wing polyphenism [PDF]
, 2012 Wing polymorphisms observed in many Insecta are important topics in developmental biology and ecology; these polymorphisms are a consequence of tradeoffs between flight and other abilities.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), shows wing polyphenism (winged and wingless morphs) in its life cycle. The winged morph is adapted for dispersal; its two developmental adult stages (for dispersal and reproduction) are ...

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Historically, a university education has been seen primarily as a route for the middle classes to achieve professional qualifications while structural barriers have served to restrict entry to individuals from particular demographics. First‐generation students (FGS), often with low socio‐economic backgrounds, face multiple barriers to Higher ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2007 The aphid alarm pheromone is known to trigger wing induction in pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum). In reaction to alarm pheromone, aphids drop off the plant or walk away.

FlexMat, EarlyView.Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL PATTERNS IN CRYPTIC WING MORPHOLOGY IN THE AMERICAN SNOUT, LIBYTHEANA CARINENTA [PDF]
, 2023 One of the most common butterflies in the United States is Libytheana carinenta (the American Snout). Despite being common, information about the species is limited in some respects.

Magneto‐responsive fibers and fabrics for soft systems
FlexMat, EarlyView.Abstract The combination of functional materials in fiber form has led to a surge in the integration of functional fibers and fabrics into soft systems that span sensing, communication, and actuation domains. A key subset is magnetic fibers and fabrics.
