Simple Summary Many animals, including insects, evolved sensitivity to ultraviolet light (UV).
The presence of UV photoreceptors in the visual systems of many animals shows that UV …

Ultraviolet patterns in butterflies have been recognized and studied for many years. They are
frequently involved in both intraspecific and interspecific interactions. Only a handful of …

Iridescent ultraviolet (IUV) patterns on pierid butterfly wings are phenotypic adaptations
commonly used as sexual signals, generated by scales with ultrastructural modifications …

The subject of our investigation was the visual features of wing color with special focus on
the UV reflectance in the green‐veined white butterfly (Pieris napi). Previous studies had …

The aim of this book is to present a readable account of butterfly behaviour, based on field
observations, great photographs and the latest research. The main focus is on courtship and …

It has been suggested that structural ultraviolet (UV) patches on the wings of butterflies play
a role in sexual selection. UV patches may be condition-dependent signals of mate quality …

A comparison of 95 species of Central European moths, representing 11 families and
inhabiting various habitats, was carried out in order to detect the potential impact of biotope …

非遗传多型性是指同一基因型或同一基因组通过外界环境诱导可产生两种或者多种不连续表型
的现象. 该现象在昆虫中已有报道, 如变态, 季节性非遗传多型, 社会性昆虫的等级制等 …

Although moths are much more diverse members of the Lepidoptera compared with
butterflies, there is a deficit of studies concerning their ultraviolet (UV) reflectance. The …

Lepidoptera (scaled-wing) are named after the scales on their wings. These scales are an
innovation that gives Lepidoptera access to a very large color space beyond our human …
