Abstract Phenotypic plasticity allows many animals to quickly respond seasonal changes in their environment. Seasonal physiological systems, such as sensory may explain other more obvious behaviour, often working synergistically with morphology. Here we investigate if there are covarying morphology, and the visual system seasonally plastic butterfly Junonia coenia . To describe when wing patterns occur at our field sites central United States for analysis of gene expression eye tissue,...
Abstract Animal communities can undergo seasonal shifts in assemblage, responding to changes their environment. behavior also shift due environmental variation, with the potential shape ecosystems. However, it is unclear if similar factors and time scales affect both abundance behavior. We examined how butterfly change seasonally temperate prairies a garden, driving variation differ between taxonomic families. conducted monthly surveys year-round biweekly during summer fall, 2017-2021...
Community science, which engages students and the public in data collection scientific inquiry, is often integrated into conservation long-term monitoring efforts. However, it has potential to also introduce to, be useful for, sensory ecology other fields of study. Here we describe a community science project that exposes participants animal behavior using rich butterfly Northwest Arkansas, United States. Butterflies use visual signals communicate attract mates. Brighter colors can produce...
