Repeated evolution can provide insight into the mechanisms that facilitate adaptation to
novel or changing environments. Here we study adaptation to altitude in two tropical …

Simple Summary Many animals, including insects, evolved sensitivity to ultraviolet light (UV).
The presence of UV photoreceptors in the visual systems of many animals shows that UV …

Flight was a key innovation in the adaptive radiation of insects. However, it is a complex trait
influenced by a large number of interacting biotic and abiotic factors, making it difficult to …

Microclimatic variability in tropical forests plays a key role in shaping species distributions
and their ability to cope with environmental change, especially for ectotherms. Nonetheless …

The halophytic plant communities along the tropical and subtropical coastlines are termed
as mangroves (Biswas et al. 2012). Several other terms such as “mangal …

Broadly distributed species experience divergent abiotic conditions across their ranges that
may drive local adaptation. Montane systems where populations are distributed across both …

Mountains are rich in biodiversity, and butterflies are species-rich and have a good
ecological and evolutionary research foundation. This review addresses the potential and …

The halophytic plant communities along the tropical and subtropical coastlines are termed
as mangroves (Biswas et al. 2012). Several other terms such as “mangal …

Environmental filters select species that tolerate and respond to habitat conditions similarly.
By combining taxonomy, functional traits and phylogeny, we aimed to understand the spatial …

Microhabitat choice plays a major role in shaping local patterns of biodiversity. In butterflies,
stratification in flight height has an important role in maintaining community diversity. Despite …
