Organisms use color to serve a variety of biological functions, including camouflage, mate attraction and thermoregulation. The potential adaptive role is often investigated by examining patterns variation across geographic, habitat life‐history gradients. This approach, however, presents data collection trade‐off whereby researchers must either maximize intraspecific detail or taxonomic geographic coverage. limits our ability fully understand entire groups at global scales. We provide...
Insect coloration has evolved in response to multiple pressures, and Odonata (dragonflies damselflies) a body of work supports role wing color variety visual signals potentially thermoregulation. Previous efforts have focused primarily on melanistic even though wings are often multicolored, there yet be comprehensive comparative analyses across broad geographic regions phylogenetic groups. Percher vs. flier flight-style, trait with thermoregulatory signaling consequences, not been studied...

Abstract Human alteration of natural environments and habitats is a major driver species decline. However, handful thrive in human altered environments. The biology, distribution, population structure molecular adaptations enabling certain to human-altered are not well understood. Here, we evaluate the functional genomics, niche space geometric morphometrics blue dasher ( Pachidiplax longipennis ), one most ubiquitously observed insects habitats. We identify number genes involved with...
Abstract— Dwarf mistletoes are a lineage of morphologically-reduced stem parasites inhabiting Pinaceae and Cupressaceae throughout the northern hemisphere equatorial East Africa. Though diagnosable by suite morphological traits, phylogenetic knowledge species relationships has been limited to studies employing either comprehensive taxonomic sampling one or two genes, more sequence data from number individuals. We used genome skimming assemble 3kb nuclear ribosomal cistron up 45kb plastome...
