When a butterfly flaps its wings…
On 20 May, most UK newspapers carried large colour photographs of the monarch butterfly. Some were even bigger than the accompanying reports, with headlines typified by the Daily Mail’s “GM pollen that can mean a cloud of death for butterflies.” The implication was that genetically modified plants in general threaten butterflies in general — even the environment in general. The articles stemmed...
متن کاملFlexural stiffness patterns of butterfly wings (Papilionoidea)
A flying insect generates aerodynamic forces through the active manipulation of the wing and the “passive” properties of deformability and wing shape. To investigate these “passive” properties, the flexural stiffness of dried forewings belonging to 10 butterfly species was compared to the butterflies’ gross morphological parameters to determine allometric relationships. The results show that fl...
متن کاملA Phenomenological Representation of Iridescent Colors in Butterfly Wings
The representation of the color of butterflies has always been a challenge to artists, whatever the medium involved. These colors are highly complex to reproduce, even with the use of computer generated images. This article introduces a new algorithm developed to simulate and generate the iridescent colors that are found on the wings of particular butterflies. The model presented here is based ...
متن کاملA Model for Selection of Eyespots on Butterfly Wings
UNSOLVED PROBLEM The development of eyespots on the wing surface of butterflies of the family Nympalidae is one of the most studied examples of biological pattern formation.However, little is known about the mechanism that determines the number and precise locations of eyespots on the wing. Eyespots develop around signaling centers, called foci, that are located equidistant from wing veins alon...
متن کاملAncient Wings: animating the evolution of butterfly wing patterns.
Character optimization methods can be used to reconstruct ancestral states at the internal nodes of phylogenetic trees. However, seldom are these ancestral states visualized collectively. Ancient Wings is a computer program that provides a novel method of visualizing the evolution of several morphological traits simultaneously. It allows users to visualize how the ventral hindwing pattern of 54...
