The role of pigments in light color variation of the firefly Photinus pyralis

Margot Popecki, Stephanie A. Archer‐Hartmann, Parastoo Azadi…·Kathrin F. Stanger‐Hall

The paper investigates whether pigments contribute to light color variation in fireflies, finding that ommochrome and pterin pigments may filter luciferase light but no significant gene expression differences were found between color variants.

Bursts of rapid diversification, dispersals out of southern Africa, and two origins of dioecy punctuate the evolution of Asparagus

Philip C. Bentz, John E. Burrows, Sandra M. Burrows…·Jim Leebens‐Mack

This study uses phylogenomic analysis to show two independent origins of dioecy in Asparagus, linked to range expansions from southern Africa and bursts of diversification.
