Wing phenotypic divergence and venation variation: association with ultrasonic courtship song profiling in Ostrinia furnacalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae).

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how morphological and behavioral traits diverge and develop independently is essential for explaining phenotypic diversification in insects. Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée) exhibits stable forewing pattern polymorphism, providing a useful system for examining whether geometric shape variation in wing morphology is associated with differences in acoustic courtship signaling. In this study, we combined...
