• Multimodal signalling: structural ultraviolet reflectance predicts male mating success better than pheromones in the butterfly Colias eurytheme L. (Pieridae) (2007, background): “Structural reflectance is widespread among animals (e.g. Brunton 1998; Macedonia et al. 2000; Kodric-Brown & Johnson 2002; Eaton & Lanyon 2003; Parker et al. 2003; Sweeney et al. 2003; Vukusic et al. 2004; Kemp et al. 2005) and has been implicated in female mate choice decisions in birds and fish…”
