Heliconius charithonia is one of the species of butterflies whose wing patterns scientists scrutinized to better understand the evolutionary process. This butterfly is wild-type; the genetically ...
The beautiful patterns on butterfly wings are emerging as exceptional model systems that may reveal much about how the shapes, sizes and colors of specific organisms have evolved, a type of study ...
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 wing patterns have a basic plan to them, which is manipulated by non-coding regulatory DNA to create the diversity of wings seen in different species, according to new research. The study, ...
Two newly published complimentary studies have utilized CRISPR genome editing technology to explore how specific genes affect wing pattern variation in butterflies. By selectively knocking out single ...
Millions of monarch butterflies are making their way down the east coast to Mexico for the winter. Huh, wonder if they're looking for BJ Leiderman, who writes our theme music. But as Georgia Public ...
