Modelling butterfly wing eyespot patterns.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Aug 2004

Dilão Rui, Sainhas Joaquim

Abstract excerpt

Eyespots are concentric motifs with contrasting colours on butterfly wings. Eyespots have intra- and interspecific visual signalling functions with adaptive and selective roles. We propose a reaction-diffusion model that accounts for eyespot development. The model considers two diffusive morphogens and three non-diffusive pigment precursors. The first morphogen is produced in the focus and determines the...
