This study shows that ridge and crossrib height in butterfly wing scales influence structural color diversity and introduces a geometrical model to predict color.

The paper identifies Antennapedia and optix as regulators of metallic silver wing scale development and cell shape in Bicyclus anynana butterflies using single-cell analysis of crispant mutants.

This study investigates the developmental morphogenesis of hierarchical nanostructures in swallowtail butterfly wing scales, revealing a novel role for F-actin in shaping complex structural color patterns.
