Ancient Wings: animating the evolution of butterfly wing patterns.

Bio Systems - 1 Oct 2003

Arbesman Samuel, Enthoven Leo, Monteiro Antónia

Abstract excerpt

Character optimization methods can be used to reconstruct ancestral states at the internal nodes of phylogenetic trees. However, seldom are these ancestral states visualized collectively. Ancient Wings is a computer program that provides a novel method of visualizing the evolution of several morphological traits simultaneously. It allows users to visualize how the ventral hindwing pattern of 54 butterflies in the...
