Abstract

Experimental obliteration of high-contrast wing stripes of the neotropical butterfly Anartia fatima affected neither survival nor wing damage in a natural population over a 5-month period. There is no direct evidence supporting the hypothesis that so-called disruptive wing patterns function as protective coloration in butterflies.

摘要

在 5 个月的时间里，对新热带蝴蝶 Anartia fatima 的高对比度翅膀条纹进行实验性消除，既没有影响其生存，也没有影响其在自然种群中的翅膀损伤。没有直接证据支持所谓的破坏翅膀图案在蝴蝶中起到保护色作用的假设。
