Journal ArticleDOI
Complex selection on life-history traits and the maintenance of variation in exaggerated rostrum length in acorn weevils
TL;DR: Collection of infested acorns at oak forests showed that C. glandium larvae were present within acorns of all sizes, whereas C. elephas larvae were restricted to acorns above a minimum size, irrespective of oak species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interference coloration as an anti-predator defence
TL;DR: It is shown, using avian predators hunting dynamic virtual prey, that the presence of interference coloration can significantly reduce a predator's attack success.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring rate variation among and within sites in a densely sampled tree: species level phylogenetics of north american tiger beetles (genus cicindela).
Alfried P. Vogler,Anabela Cardoso,Anabela Cardoso,Timothy G. Barraclough,Timothy G. Barraclough +4 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that some properties of 3rd positions are less problematic for phylogenetic reconstruction than other categories despite their high total homoplasy, and may be dependent on the character states at other sites, consistent with the covarion model of molecular evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are we doomed to repeat history? A model of the past using tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) and conservation biology to anticipate the future
David L. Pearson,Fabio Cassola +1 more
TL;DR: The evolution of the relationship between tiger beetle studies and conservation biology is traced and it is proposed that this history may in itself provide a model for anticipating developments and improvements in the ability of conservation biology to find effective goals, gather appropriate data, and better communicate generalizations to non-scientific decision makers, the public, and other scientists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogeny and divergence time estimation of Cosmodela (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae) tiger beetle species from Southeast Asia
TL;DR: The data infer a continental origin of the Indonesian samples of C. aurulenta, and they most likely dispersed across the land bridges that emerged during glacial maxima to form Sundaland.
