Phylogenetic analyses support flush-pursuit foraging and flocking behaviors as evolutionary drivers of flash plumage signals in North American passerines
ABSTRACT. Animal coloration patterns are wildly variable. Despite this, there are plumage traits that occur similarly across taxonomic groups, suggesting t

Can you spot the moths? This is a perfect illustration of Akhil Sadiq's talk, 'Blending at borders: the role of background boundaries in camouflage'.

Packed room to kick off the Evolutionary Ecology session at #EMPSEB30 with a talk by @theobrown.bsky.social, who wonders whether it pays off to be lazy… if you are a butterfly, that is! 🦋🐥@empseb30.bsky.social
