High diversity in neuropeptide immunoreactivity patterns among three closely related species of Dinophilidae (Annelida)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Comparative Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/cne.24289
Abstract: Neuropeptides are conserved metazoan signaling molecules, and represent useful markers for comparative investigations on the morphology and function of the nervous system. However, little is known about the variation of neuropeptide expression patterns across closely… read more here.

Production of plumage ornaments among males and females of two closely related tropical passerine bird species

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3000
Abstract: Abstract The evolution of elaborate secondary sexual traits (i.e., ornaments) is well‐studied in males but less so in females. Similarity in the appearance of ornaments between males and females supports the view that female ornaments… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4338
Abstract: Abstract This study investigated the effects of climate oscillations on the evolution of two closely related Allium species, A. neriniflorum and A. tubiflorum. We sequenced three cp DNA (cpDNA) fragments (rps16, rpl32‐trnL, and trnD‐trnT, together… read more here.

Variation in sex allocation plasticity in three closely related flatworm species

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5566
Abstract: Abstract Sex allocation (SA) theory for simultaneous hermaphrodites predicts an influence of group size on SA. Since group size can vary within an individual's lifetime, this can favor the evolution of phenotypically plastic SA. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70588
Abstract: ABSTRACT Bamboo snout moths (Lepidoptera, Crambidae) comprise the four species: Eumorphobotys obscuralis, Circobotys aurealis, Demobotys pervulgalis, and Crypsiptya coclesalis. These economically important insect pests of bamboo are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. The… read more here.

Functional Trait Divergence in Feeding Ecology Between Two Closely Related Upeneus Species in the Beibu Gulf: An Ecological Morphology Analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72331
Abstract: ABSTRACT Closely related species coexisting in the same habitat often undergo niche differentiation or morphological adaptations to reduce interspecific competition and secure sufficient resources, particularly when their ecological niches overlap. Such differentiation may manifest as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8837
Abstract: Abstract The process of phenotypic adaptation to the environments is widely recognized. However, comprehensive studies integrating phylogenetic, phenotypic, and ecological approaches to assess this process are scarce. Our study aims to assess whether local adaptation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8913
Abstract: Abstract Within an animal species, the body sizes of individuals at higher latitudes are often different from individuals at lower latitudes. For homeothermic species that maintain a relatively constant body temperature, such as mammals and… read more here.
