Color vision is an important sensory capability that enhances the detection of contrast in
retinal images. Monochromatic animals exclusively detect temporal and spatial changes in …

Signals reliably convey information to a receiver. To be reliable, differences between
individuals in signal properties must be consistent and easily perceived and evaluated by …

We present a new and innovative identification method based on deep learning of the wing
interferential patterns carried by mosquitoes of the Anopheles genus to classify and assign …

A simple method for accurately identifying Glossina spp in the field is a challenge to sustain
the future elimination of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) as a public health scourge …

The concept that complex ancestral traits can never be recovered after their loss is still
widely accepted, despite phylogenetic and molecular approaches suggest instances where …

Due to the growing awareness that insects' diversity and populations are in decline, there is
an increased need for monitoring insects. Entomological lidars and photonic sensors can …

Given that flower size and pigmentation can mediate plant–pollinator interactions, many
studies have focused on pollinator-driven selection on these floral traits. However, abiotic …

Wing interference patterns (WIPs) are stable structural colours displayed on insect wings
which are only visible at specific viewing geometries and against certain backgrounds …

Although many theoretical models of male sexual trait evolution assume that sexual
selection is countered by natural selection, direct empirical tests of this assumption are …

Communication requires both the encoding of information and its effective transmission, but
little is known about display traits that primarily serve to enhance efficacy. Here we …
