Does skipping a meal matter to a butterfly's appearance? Effects of larval food stress on wing morphology and color in monarch butterflies.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Johnson Haley, Solensky Michelle J, Satterfield Dara A, Davis Andrew K

Abstract excerpt

In animals with complex life cycles, all resources needed to form adult tissues are procured at the larval stage. For butterflies, the proper development of wings involves synthesizing tissue during metamorphosis based on the raw materials obtained by larvae. Similarly, manufacture of pigment for...
