Increased evolutionary rate in the Z-chromosome of Morpho butterflies and implications for speciation.

This study examines the Z-chromosome evolution in Morpho butterflies, finding increased genomic rearrangements and positive selection, suggesting a role in speciation through pre- and post-zygotic isolation.

Habitat fragmentation selects for low dispersal in an ant species

The paper examines how habitat fragmentation affects dispersal in an ant species, finding that apterous queens are more common in fragmented urban parks than in forests.

Evidence of attack deflection suggests adaptive evolution of wing tails in butterflies

The paper investigates the adaptive evolution of hindwing tails in butterflies by showing they are more frequently attacked and damaged, supporting their role in deflection.
