This project investigates the nutritional demands of color patterns in the European Map Butterfly, focusing on how these demands influence the evolution of distinct seasonal color forms. It aims to understand the relationships between nutrient availability and the butterfly's color polymorphism.
Large colour ornaments such as bright plumage in birds or vivid wing coloration in butterflies are some of the most intriguing phenomena in the natural kingdom.
However, the selective pressures and constraints involved in the evolution of these traits are in most cases poorly understood.
Here we posit that evaluating the underlying nutritional demands of large colour patterns promises to provide novel insights in to the evolution of colour traits.
Colour patterns can represent surprisingly large…
