Thermoregulatory significance of wing melanization in Pieris butterflies (Lepidoptera; Pieridae): physics, posture, and pattern
Abstract
Model and experimental results suggest that, in certain wing regions, increased melanization can reduce body temperature in Pieris; this effect of melanization is exactly the opposite of that found in other Pierid butterflies that use their wings as solar absorbers.
