Development
. 2025 Mar;
152(5).
PMID: 40052482
The success of butterflies and moths is tightly linked to the origin of scales within the group. A long-standing hypothesis postulates that scales are homologous to the well-described mechanosensory bristles...

. 2024 Sep;
61(6):1448-1458.
PMID: 39259661
We searched for evidence of knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes from Panama....

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2024 Jul;
121(31):e2312371121.
PMID: 39042675
Among vertebrates, nearly all oviparous animals are considered to have either obligate aquatic or terrestrial oviposition, with eggs that are specialized for developing in those environments. The terrestrial environment has...

PLoS Genet
. 2024 Jul;
20(7):e1011318.
PMID: 39024186
Sex chromosomes are evolutionarily labile in many animals and sometimes fuse with autosomes, creating so-called neo-sex chromosomes. Fusions between sex chromosomes and autosomes have been proposed to reduce sexual conflict...

Evolution
. 2024 May;
78(7):1338-1346.
PMID: 38736286
When populations experience different sensory conditions, natural selection may favor sensory system divergence, affecting peripheral structures and/or downstream neural pathways. We characterized the outer eye morphology of sympatric Heliconius butterflies...

Rosso A, Casement B, Chung A, Curlis J, Folfas E, Gallegos M, et al.
Ecol Evol Physiol
. 2024 May;
97(2):81-96.
PMID: 38728692
AbstractTropical ectotherms are thought to be especially vulnerable to climate change because they have evolved in temporally stable thermal environments and therefore have decreased tolerance for thermal variability. Thus, they...

Rosser N, Seixas F, Queste L, Cama B, Mori-Pezo R, Kryvokhyzha D, et al.
Nature
. 2024 Apr;
628(8009):811-817.
PMID: 38632397
Hybridization allows adaptations to be shared among lineages and may trigger the evolution of new species. However, convincing examples of homoploid hybrid speciation remain rare because it is challenging to...

Science
. 2024 Mar;
383(6689):1368-1373.
PMID: 38513020
Visual preferences are important drivers of mate choice and sexual selection, but little is known of how they evolve at the genetic level. In this study, we took advantage of...

PMID: 38408213
Flight was a key innovation in the adaptive radiation of insects. However, it is a complex trait influenced by a large number of interacting biotic and abiotic factors, making it...

27(2):108949.
PMID: 38357666
butterflies exhibit expanded mushroom bodies, a key brain region for learning and memory in insects, and a novel foraging strategy unique among Lepidoptera - traplining for pollen. We tested visual...
