How high can you fly: butterflies fly according to the vertical distribution of their plant resources

This blog post is provided by Denise Dalbosco Dell’Aglio, Sebastián Mena, Rémi Mauxion, W. Owen McMillan and Stephen H. Montgomery and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper “Divergence in Heliconius flight behaviour is associated with local adaptation to different forest structures”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. Butterflies are found everywhere in a tropical forest. Some are found very high in … Continue reading How high can you fly: butterflies fly according to the vertical distribution of their plant resources

Climate and genomic patterns in marine fish

This blog post is provided by Alicia Dalongeville, Emilie Boulanger and Stéphanie Manel and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper “Climate differently influences the genomic patterns of two sympatric marine fish species”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. Boulanger and colleagues show how the genetic variation of two marine fish species is linked to climatic conditions across the Mediterranean Sea, suggesting … Continue reading Climate and genomic patterns in marine fish
