Re-evaluation of photographs of the tropical butterfly Morpho helenor from a previous study (Pignataro et al. 2023) revealed that its conclusion regarding increased wing fluctuating asymmetry in forest edge habitats compared to forest inter...
Anatomical, histochemical, and developmental approaches reveal the long-term functioning of the floral nectary in Tocoyena formosa (Rubiaceae) [0.03%]
解剖学、组织化学和发育方法揭示了Tocoyena formosa(茜草科)花蜜腺的长期功能
