Clearwing butterflies challenge the thermal melanism hypothesis

V. Ossola, F. Pottier, C. Pinna, K. Bougiouri, A. Tournie, A. Michelin, C. Andraud, D. Gomez, M. Elias

The paper challenges the thermal melanism hypothesis by showing that transparent wings in Ithomiini butterflies are less efficient at absorbing light and heat, and that transparency increases with altitude, contrary to the hypothesis prediction.

Stay clear and dry! How microstructure diversity can offset the hydrophobicity costs of transparency in clearwing Lepidoptera

D. Gomez, J. Pairraire, C. Pinna, M. Arias, C. Houssin, J. Barbut, S. Berthier, C. Andraud, T. Ondarcuhu, M. Elias

The paper investigates how wing microstructure in clearwing Lepidoptera compensates for reduced hydrophobicity in transparent patches, finding trade-offs between hydrophobicity and optical transparency.

Transparency in butterflies and moths: structural diversity, optical properties and ecological relevance

D. Gomez, C. Pinna, J. Pairraire, M. Arias, J. Barbut, A. Pomerantz, C. Nous, W. Daney de Marcillac, S. Berthier, N. Patel, C. Andraud, M. Elias

This study examines transparency in 123 Lepidoptera species, revealing its structural basis, optical properties, and ecological relevance in thermoregulation and vision.
