Firefly toxin lucibufagins evolved after the origin of bioluminescence

Chengqi Zhu, Xiaoli Lu, Tianlong Cai, Kangli Zhu et autres

Abstract Fireflies were believed to originally evolve their novel bioluminescence as warning signals to advertise their toxicity to predators, which was later adopted in adult mating. Although the evolution of bioluminescence has been investigated extensively, the warning signal hypothesis of its origin …

Strong habitat-specific phenotypic plasticity but no genome-wide differentiation across a rainforest gradient in an African butterfly

Ying Zhen, Michel A. K. Dongmo, Ryan J. Harrigan, Kristen Ruegg et autres

Habitat-specific thermal responses are well documented in various organisms and likely determine the vulnerability of populations to climate change. However, the underlying roles of genetics and plasticity that shape such habitat-specific patterns are rarely investigated together. Here we examined the thermal plasticity …

Giant piezoresistivity in a van der Waals material induced by intralayer atomic motions

Lingyun Tang, Zhongquan Mao, Chutian Wang, Qi Fu et autres

Abstract The presence of the van der Waals gap in layered materials creates a wealth of intriguing phenomena different to their counterparts in conventional materials. For example, pressurization can generate a large anisotropic lattice shrinkage along the stacking orientation and/or a significant …
