Larval growth rate affects wing shape more than eyespot size in the seasonally polyphenic butterfly Melanitis leda

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2023
Butterflies often show adaptive phenotypic plasticity where environmental cues during early stages are used to produce a phenotype that maximizes fitness in the environment experienced by adults. Many tropical satyrine butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae)

Predictability of temporal variation in climate and the evolution of seasonal polyphenism in tropical butterfly communities

open access: yesJournal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 34, Issue 9, Page 1362-1375, September 2021., 2021
One of the core pre‐requisites for maintaining adaptive phenotypic plasticity is that the environment should be predictable. We tested this hypothesis by sampling three communities of Mycalesina butterflies, where many species exhibit seasonal polyphenism, from two seasonal and one aseasonal location.

Testing a butterfly commonness hypothesis with data assembled by a citizen science program “Tokyo Butterfly Monitoring”

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 1087-1094, November 2020., 2020
We tested a hypothesis regarding species commonness using a database compiled by a citizen science program. The data used were more than 34,000 butterfly records posted by monitoring participants from 2009 to 2017. We concluded that the data collected by the monitoring program appear to represent the status of the butterfly community in Tokyo, a ...
