Larval growth rate affects wing shape more than eyespot size in the seasonally polyphenic butterfly Melanitis leda

F. Molleman, E. M. Moore, S. Halali, D. Halali, U. Kodandaramaiah, E. van Bergen, P. M. Brakefield, V. Oostra

The study examines how larval growth rate influences adult wing shape and eyespot size in Melanitis leda, finding stronger effects on wing shape than eyespot size, with sex-specific patterns.

Seasonal environments drive convergent evolution of a faster pace-of-life in tropical butterflies

S. Halali, E. van Bergen, C. J. Breuker, P. M. Brakefield, O. Brattstrom

This study shows that seasonal environments drive convergent evolution of a faster pace-of-life in tropical butterflies across different regions.

A release from developmental bias accelerates morphological diversification in butterfly eyespots

O. Brattstrom, K. Aduse-Poku, E. van Bergen, V. French, P. M. Brakefield

This study shows that developmental bias limits eyespot color diversification in butterflies, but the genus Heteropsis has evolved to overcome this bias, enabling rapid morphological change.

Complex multi-trait responses to multivariate environmental cues in a seasonal butterfly

P. Singh, E. v. Bergen, O. Brattström, D. Osbaldeston, P. M. Brakefield, V. Oostra

This study examines how temperature and host plant quality interact to affect life-history traits in the butterfly Bicyclus anynana, revealing complex temperature and sex-dependent effects.

To mate, or not to mate: The evolution of reproductive diapause facilitates insect radiation into African savannahs in the Late Miocene

S. Halali, P. M. Brakefield, S. C. Collins, O. Brattstrom

The paper shows that reproductive diapause in Bicyclus butterflies enabled their adaptation to savannah environments during the Late Miocene.
