The use of fluorescent pigments to study insect behaviour: investigating mating patterns in a butterfly population
Abstract
Abstract. 1. Mating patterns in a natural population of checkerspot butterflies, Euphydryas editha Boisduval, were investigated by dusting male external genitalia with fluorescent dyes and examining mated females under UV light. 2. These dyes may have diverse applications in studies of insect populations.
