Pigmentation of pattern formation in the butterfly wing of Papilio dardanus

We investigate pigmentation patterns in the butterfly wing of Papilio Dardanus by numerical simulations of a reaction-diffusion model on a geometrically accurate wing domain. Our results suggest that the wing coloration is due to a simple underlying stripe-like pattern of some pigment-inducing morph...
