Heliconius charithonia is one of the species of butterflies whose wing patterns scientists scrutinized to better understand the evolutionary process. This butterfly is wild-type; the genetically ...

Butterflies closer to the equator have been shown to evolve shared wing patterns faster than their relatives at higher latitudes. That gradient reframes tropical diversity as an active process, shaped ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Butterfly wing patterns have a basic plan to them, which is manipulated by non-coding regulatory DNA to create the diversity of wings seen in different species, according to new ...

Butterfly wing patterns have a basic plan to them, which is manipulated by non-coding regulatory DNA to create the diversity of wings seen in different species, according to new research. The study, ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The beautiful patterns on butterfly wings are emerging as exceptional model systems that may reveal much about how the shapes, sizes and colors of specific organisms have evolved, a ...

A new study helps bring the incredible color and pattern variation in butterflies into focus. The results align with a growing body of evidence that suggests butterfly-wing diversity really boils down ...
