Differential Expression of Ecdysone Receptor Leads to Variation in Phenotypic Plasticity across Serial Homologs
Fig 2
Plasticity in eyespot center brightness is due to variation in pigment deposition in the white central scales.
Epi-illumination microscopy and reflection measurements for Cu1 eyespot centers in forewings (FW) and hindwings (HW) of both WS and DS forms. A) WS FW; B) DS FW; C) WS HW; D) DS HW. E-H) Reflection measurements of corresponding eyespot centers before (colored lines) and after (black lines) application of silicone oil.
