Butterflies use humidity as a cue for wing-pattern and life history trait plasticity when temperature is unreliable [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMany butterflies have wet and dry season morphs with large and small wing eyespots respectively. Eyespot size plasticity is adaptive because butterflies develop large, conspicuous eyespots in the wet season and small, inconspicuous eyespots in the dry ...

Brief Mating Behavior at Dawn and Dusk and Long Nocturnal Matings in the Butterfly Melanitis leda [PDF]
Journal of Insect Behavior, 2020 AbstractInformation on the mating system of an insect species is necessary to gain insight into sexual selection and population structure. Male territoriality of the common evening brown butterflyMelanitis ledahas been studied in the wild, but other aspects of its mating system remain largely unknown. For a population ofM.

Describing Developmental Modules of Modularity and Integration in the Fore and Hind Wings of the Common Evening Brown Butterfly Melanitis leda Linnaeus (Nymphalidae: Lepidoptera) Using MINT Software [PDF]
Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, 2012 In this study, developmental modules of modularity and integration of the fore and hind wings of Melanitis leda were described using the MINT software (Modularity and Integration Tool, ver. 1.5, Marquez, 2008). A total of 195 points were used to trace and outline the margins of the wings as well as the major veins.
