Correlated evolution of multiple traits gives butterflies a false head

Tarunkishwor Yumnam, Ullasa Kodandaramaiah

The paper investigates the evolution of false head traits in butterflies, finding that these traits evolved together in a correlated manner, likely due to shared selective pressures for predator deflection.
