Seasonal plasticity: how do butterfly wing pattern traits evolve environmental responsiveness?

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Aug 2021

van der Burg Karin Rl, Reed Robert D

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity in response to environmental cues is common in butterflies, and is a major driver of butterfly wing pattern diversity. The endocrine signal ecdysone has been revealed as a major modulator of plasticity in butterflies. External cues such as day length or temperature are translated internally into variation in ecdysone titers, which in turn lead to alternate phenotypes such as seasonal wing...
