Sexual Size Dimorphism in the Color Pattern Elements of Two Mimetic Heliconius Butterflies.

Neotropical entomology - 1 Dec 2013

Klein A L, de Araújo A M

Abstract excerpt

Sexual dichromatism and sexual dimorphism of body size are reasonably well studied in butterflies. Sexual size dimorphism of color pattern elements, however, is much less explored. The object of this study is Heliconius, a genus of butterflies well known for the coevolution between mate color preferences and mimicry. Given the sexual role of wing coloration, we investigated the existence of sexual size dimorphism...
