TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper summarized pangolin seizure data reported in public media from 2008 to 2016, incorporating often neglected small seizures reported in Chinese, highlighting the scale and scope of pangolines trade in China, applies novel methods for analyzing trade patterns, and offers guidance for future law enforcement and policy interventions for combatting wildlife trade internationally.

TL;DR: Results show a thermal consequence of butterfly morphology across habitats and how environmental factors at a microhabitat scale may affect the distribution of species based on these traits, and highlights how butterfly species might differentially respond to warming based on ecophysiological traits and how thermal refuges might emerge at microclimatic and habitat scales.

TL;DR: Morphological characteristics, especially coloration, are related to thermoregulation and camouflage, both of which are crucial for species survival and fitness in cool environments such as the understorey of closed rainforests, but such habitats are also suitable for darker organisms with respect to camouflage.

TL;DR: It is found that body colour luminance and body size of butterfly assemblages responded to elevation through both long-term processes and more recent environmental influences, indicating elevation may structure the distributions of tropical species through morphology.
