Generations of the polyphenic butterfly Araschnia levana differ in body desing.
Original language description
The European Map Butterfly, Araschnia levana (Nymphalidae), represents a classical example of seasonal polymorphism, in which summer and spring generations differ strikingly in wing colour pattern. We re-analysed mark-recapture data on the butterfly using the multi-strata modelling design in the program MARK, compared biomechanical design traits of the spring-and summer-generation butterflies using canonical variate änalysis, and tested for inter-generation differences in allometry relations of design traits to body size. The summer butterflies had shorter residence times and a higher probability of movements among capture sites than the spring butterflies, indicating greater mobility. Adults of summer-generation butterflies had a heavier thorax, lowerabdomen to body mass ratio, larger wing area, less pointed wings and lower wing loading. The results support the notion of greater mobility of summer-generation. A levana and suggest the possibility that differential dispersal is much mo
