@article{Beldade2002ContributionOD, title={Contribution of Distal-less to quantitative variation in butterfly eyespots}, author={P. Beldade and P. Brakefield and A. Long}, journal={Nature}, year={2002}, volume={415}, pages={315-318} }
The colour patterns decorating butterfly wings provide ideal material to study the reciprocal interactions between evolution and development. They are visually compelling products of selection, often with a clear adaptive value, and are amenable to a detailed developmental characterization. Research on wing-pattern evolution and development has focused on the eyespots of the tropical butterfly Bicyclus anynana. There is quantitative variation for several features of eyespot morphology but the… Expand
