The functional response of predators to prey density and its role in mimicry and population regulation.

TL;DR: These are my lecture notes from CS681: Design and Analysis of Algo rithms, a one-semester graduate course I taught at Cornell for three consec utive fall semesters from '88 to.

Butterfly genome reveals promiscuous exchange of mimicry adaptations among species

Kanchon K. Dasmahapatra, +83 more

TL;DR: It is inferred that closely related Heliconius species exchange protective colour-pattern genes promiscuously, implying that hybridization has an important role in adaptive radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiscale assessment of patterns of avian species richness.

TL;DR: The data reinforce the hypothesis that terrestrial species richness from the equator to the poles is ultimately governed by a synergism between climate and coarse-scale topographic heterogeneity.

Reproductive isolation caused by colour pattern mimicry

TL;DR: It is shown that a shift in colour pattern mimicry was crucial in the origin of two butterfly species, and individuals from a population of H. melpomene allopatric to H. cydno court and mate with the sister species more readily than those from a sympatric population, suggesting that assortative mating has been enhanced in sympatry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Receiver psychology and the evolution of multicomponent signals.

TL;DR: Psychological results that support the notion that two components are better received than one alone are presented, and it is shown that multicomponency does indeed improve signal reception in receivers, although the benefits of producing components in two sensory modalities may be larger and more robust than producing them in just one.
