Polymorphic growth rates in myrmecophilous insects
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2000 A polymorphism in growth rates was recently described affecting the larval development of the myrmecophilous butterfly Maculinea rebeli, spanning different years in a single insect population. The close integration of M. rebeli into the host ant colonies, facilitated by adaptations in behaviour and chemical mimicry, make extended larval development a ...

Rhythmic Signaling of Ants and Butterflies With Varying Degrees of Myrmecophily [PDF]
Ann N Y Acad SciMyrmecophilous butterflies evolved diverse adaptations to communicate with ants, including acoustic ones. We analyzed the rhythmic properties of vibroacoustic signals in two ant and nine butterfly species differing in myrmecophily. Highly myrmecophilous species and ants shared complex rhythmic structures (isochrony, double meter), suggesting convergent
