Many male animals wield ornaments or weapons of exaggerated proportions. We propose
that increased cellular sensitivity to signaling through the insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF…

Numerical models of what the engineer calls “short” waves have quickly become valuable
adjuncts to engineering practice. However, the earlier models of this type had a relatively …

Since their discovery, a growing body of evidence has emerged demonstrating that transposable
elements are important drivers of species diversity. These mobile elements exhibit a …

Little is known about the extent to which species use homologous regulatory architectures
to achieve phenotypic convergence. By characterizing chromatin accessibility and gene …

Sexually‐selected exaggerated traits tend to be unusually reliable signals of individual
condition, as their expression tends to be more sensitive to nutritional history and physiological …

Hybridization between invasive and native species has raised global concern, given the
dramatic increase in species range shifts and pest outbreaks due to anthropogenic dispersal. …

In Heliconius butterflies, wing colour pattern diversity and scale types are controlled by a
few genes of large effect that regulate colour pattern switches between morphs and species …

Repeated evolution can provide insight into the mechanisms that facilitate adaptation to novel
or changing environments. Here we study adaptation to altitude in two tropical butterflies, …

Neo-sex chromosomes are found in many taxa, but the forces driving their emergence and
spread are poorly understood. The female-specific neo-W chromosome of the African …

Hermetia illucens L. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) is an increasingly
important species for bioconversion of organic material into animal feed. We generated a high…
