The influence of butterfly wing morphometrics in the thermal buffering ability of butterflies in the tropical, pre-montane locality in Peru, Tarapoto, using phylogenetic comparative methods.

Species identification and phylogenetic comparative analyses of butterfly wing

Anotace:

The goal of this research is to investigate whether butterfly morphometrics (phenotypic traits) are reliable predictors of the thermal buffering ability of butterflies from a tropical community in the Andean foothills. Results are discussed in the context of published information in biological, ecological, and bioinformatics articles.
