Origin, development, and evolution of butterfly eyespots.

Annual review of entomology - 7 Jan 2015

Monteiro Antónia

Abstract excerpt

This article reviews the latest developments in our understanding of the origin, development, and evolution of nymphalid butterfly eyespots. Recent contributions to this field include insights into the evolutionary and developmental origin of eyespots and their ancestral deployment on the wing, the evolution of eyespot number and eyespot sexual dimorphism, and the identification of genes affecting eyespot...
