DOI: 10.1016/j.ydbio.2019.08.003
Abstract: The periodic color motifs such as the spots or stripes that adorn the coat of vertebrates have served as emblematic systems in empirical and theoretical studies of pattern formation, because they vary extensively between taxa… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2403426121
Abstract: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcribed elements increasingly recognized for their roles in regulating gene expression. Thus far, however, we have little understanding of how lncRNAs contribute to evolution and adaptation. Here we show that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icz123
Abstract: The color patterns of butterflies moths are exceptionally diverse, but are very stable within a species, so that most species can be identified on the basis of their color pattern alone. The color pattern are… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects14030227
Abstract: Simple Summary Non-biting midges are the most widely distributed, and frequently the most abundant, insect family in freshwater environments. Species delimitation concerning color patterns and the shape or distribution of thorax pigmentation, wing spots, abdomen… read more here.
