The paper shows that a canalized butterfly population has higher transcriptional and chromatin plasticity than a seasonally plastic population, suggesting chromatin remodeling masks genetic variation.

The paper shows how epigenetic coalitions in birds couple tissue growth to generate periodic color patterns through ASIP regulation and feedback loops.

The paper examines seasonal changes in wing coloration, behavior, and visual gene expression in Junonia coenia butterflies, finding coordinated shifts across these traits.

This study identifies the transcription factor mirror as a selector gene responsible for defining the far posterior domain in butterfly wings, influencing wing shape, scale morphology, and color pattern.

The paper identifies ivory, a conserved lncRNA, as the color pattern gene at the cortex locus in buckeye butterflies, showing how cis-regulatory elements of ivory influence seasonal color variation.
