Microclimatic variability in tropical forests plays a key role in shaping species distributions
and their ability to cope with environmental change, especially for ectotherms. Nonetheless, …

Adaptive radiation refers to diversification from an ancestral species that produces descendants
adapted to use a great variety of distinct ecological niches. In this review, I examine two …

In contrast to most butterflies that harbor colorful wings and a wide variety of patterns, some
species display transparent wings to various extents, for which light absorption is limited. …
