Many butterflies develop wing patterns that mimic other species to protect themselves from predators. While growing complex body parts like wings involves many genes, the difference between two ...

Butterfly eyespot development represents a paradigm of how genetic regulation and developmental processes orchestrate complex morphological patterns. Eyespots are not only visually striking but also ...

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a simple DNA "switch" that helps tropical butterflies adjust the size of their wing eyespots in response to seasonal ...
