Light is arguably the most important abiotic factor for living organisms. Organisms evolved
under specific lighting conditions and their behavior, physiology, and ecology are inexorably …

The importance of behavioral evolution during speciation is well established, but we know
little about how this is manifest in sensory and neural systems. A handful of studies have …

Anthropogenic light at night is growing exponentially while many insect populations are in
decline. Many nocturnal insects provide numerous ecosystem services and are attracted to …

Humans have drastically altered nocturnal environments with electric lighting. Animals
depend on natural night light conditions and are now being inundated with artificial lighting …

1. This article reports the responses of wild, adult jacamars to butterflies with distinct
coloration types in central Brazil. Fully aposematic species, ie those exhibiting bright and/or …

The direction and strength of selection for prey colouration by predators vary in space and
time and depend on the composition of the predator community. We tested the hypothesis …

Aposematic organisms are often unprofitable to predators (eg because of defensive
chemicals) which they advertise with a conspicuous signal (eg bright and conspicuous …

Aposematism continues to be a phenomenon of central interest in evolutionary biology. The
life history of the mimic poison frog, Ranitomeya imitator, relies heavily on aposematism. In …

Some animals, including certain fish, beetles, spiders and Lepidoptera chrysalises, have
such shiny or glossy surfaces that they appear almost mirror‐like. A compelling but …
