Research Abstract |
Vivid wing color patterns of ladybirds function as warning against predators to appeal distaste. Thus, ladybird beetles are mimicked by various insect species. To understand the mimetic color pattern formation, we analyzed pigments, effector genes and patterning genes for wing color pattern formation in several ladybird species and Argopistes coccinelliformis. Our results suggest that although wing color patterns for mimicry are very similar, these steps are diverged among insect we examined.
