A Model for Colour Pattern Formation in the Butterfly Wing of Papilio dardanus
- Abstract:
-
The butterfly Papilio dardanus is well know for the spectacular phenotypic polymorphism in the female of the species. We show that numerical simulations of a reaction diffusion model on a geometrically accurate wing domain produce spatial patterns that are consistent with many of those observed on the butterfly. Our results suggest that the wing coloration is due to a simple underlying stripe-like pattern of some pigment inducing morphogen. We focus on the effect of key factors such as parame...
