Abstract excerpt

Coloration plays a pivotal role in shaping how species adapt to their environment, influencing their interactions with predators, prey, and potential mates. The aposematic wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis) is sexually dimorphic. Males are polymorphic in their hindwing coloration across the Holarctic distribution range, while females exhibit continuous variation in their coloration. In the Caucasus region, a...
