A neural change in butterflies alters mating preferences, influencing evolution through genetic and sensory mechanisms.

Known for its shimmering blue wings, the Morpho butterfly owes its brilliance not to pigments but to microscopic structures that manipulate light. Now, researchers are harnessing those same ...

A simple neural change alters mating preferences in male butterflies, aiding rapid behavioral evolution, Nicholas VanKuren ...

Welcome to the kaleidoscopic world of the butterfly wing. How do butterflies and moths (known collectively as Lepidoptera) make use of their vibrant wing patterns? Why are some species experts in ...

A vapour sensor based on an exact replica of the butterfly-scale design will most probably be unable to selectively quantify more than ten individual vapours from their mixture. A man-made ...

Butterfly wings inspire new imaging technique for cancer diagnosis Using the nanostructures found on butterfly wings, scientists have developed a simple and inexpensive way to analyze cancerous ...
