Visual mate‐searching behaviour in the evening brown butterfly, Melanitis leda (L.) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Entomology, 2002
Abstract As in most animals, male butterflies are generally the more proactive sex with respect to seeking out mating opportunities. In most cases, males conduct their search sometime between mid‐morning and mid‐afternoon, but a few species are active only before dawn or after sunset.

Contrasting lifetime patterns of territorial success in the nymphalid butterflies Hypolimnas bolina and Melanitis leda: a question of flight physiology?

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Zoology, 2006
Territorial behaviour is widespread among insects and serves as an important constituent of male reproductive success. In butterflies, competition for perching sites is mediated through aerial persistence duels in which the mechanisms of resolution have remained obscure. There is evidence in some species for an effect of age upon contest outcome, which

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

2023
Abstract 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) are seasonally polyphenic and produce distinct wet ...

Oviposition Colour Preferences in a Grass‐Feeding Butterfly

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis Et Applicata
Herbivorous insects use both visual and chemical cues to locate suitable host plants in diverse vegetation. Because colour is among the most salient visual cues, such insects are expected to have preferences for particular colours when searching for host
