Second-chance speciation in the Clouded Apollo butterflyLancho-Silva et al. reveal two successive contacts between butterfly populations that
capture the surprisingly rapid emergence of reproductive isolation driven by selection

Repeated evolution of iridescence and hindwing tails is associated with morphometric flight proxies in skipper butterfliesAbstract. Phenotypic evolution is shaped by phylogenetic history, ecology and biomechanical constraints. Butterfly wings offer an ideal system to explore tacademic.oup.comSuper nice podcast by Violaine Llaurens on the evolution of Morpho butterflies (in french!) www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

araucan regulates butterfly wing iridescence by coordinating scale structure and pigmentationAbstract. Butterfly wings exhibit a remarkable diversity of structural iridescent colours, yet the genetic regulation of iridescence remains poorly understroyalsocietypublishing.orgSpecies-specific spectral tuning of motion vision in butterflies: Current Biology www.cell.com/current-biol...
Species-specific spectral tuning of motion vision in butterfliesSupple et al. investigate the spectral sensitivity of motion-sensitive descending

Infrared radiation is an ancient pollination signalColor and scent are well-known pollinator cues. Some plants also produce heat, but its role remains unclear. Here, we report that plant-generated thermal infrared radiation serves as a pollination sig...www.science.orgAerodynamic consequences of wing damage in dragonfly flapping flight url: royalsocietypublishing.org/rsif/article...
Aerodynamic consequences of wing damage in dragonfly flapping flightAbstract. Flapping wings are the primary means by which dragonflies generate forces, but they are susceptible to damage due to their inherent fragility.
