Roughly 90% of butterfly species live in the tropics. Despite this, we know very little about
tropical butterfly ecology particularly when compared to temperate butterfly systems. The …

▪ Abstract A number of aposematic butterfly and diurnal moth species sequester unpalatable
or toxic substances from their host plants rather than manufacturing their own defensive …

Commensurate with the importance of rapidly and efficiently evaluating motivationally
significant stimuli, humans are probably endowed with distinct faculties, and maintain …

To understand the function of colour signals in nature, we require robust quantitative
analytical frameworks to enable us to estimate how animal and plant colour patterns appear …

It is widely documented that hybridisation occurs between many closely related species, but
the importance of introgression in adaptive evolution remains unclear, especially in animals …

Speciation is facilitated if ecological adaptation directly causes assortative mating, but few
natural examples are known. Here we show that a shift in colour pattern mimicry was crucial …

The Amazon is not what it seems. As Hugh Raffles shows us in this captivating and
innovative book, the world's last great wilderness has been transformed again and again by …

One of the most striking examples of sexual dimorphism is sex-limited mimicry in butterflies,
a phenomenon in which one sex—usually the female—mimics a toxic model species …
