A Model for Colour Pattern Formation in the Butterfly Wing of Papilio dardanus

The butterfly Papilio dardanus is well know for the spectacular phenotypic polymorphism in the female of the species. We show that numerical simulations of a reaction diffusion model on a geometrically accurate wing domain produce spatial patterns that are consistent with many of those observed on t...
