Oviposition behavior is not affected by ultraviolet light in a butterfly with sexually‐dimorphic expression of a UV‐sensitive opsin

Abstract Animal vision is important for mediating multiple complex behaviors. In Heliconius butterflies, vision guides fundamental behaviors such as oviposition, foraging, and mate choice. Color vision in Heliconius involves ultraviolet (UV), blue and long‐wavelength‐sensitive photoreceptors (opsins...
