3/3 Our results shift the paradigm: eyespot plasticity isn’t solely temperature-controlled but shaped by multiple environmental cues, including humidity & plant quality, that may be more reliable across regions.

2/3 In Mycalesis mineus, humidity directly affects eyespot size w/critical period in late larval & prepupal stages. But in Melanitis leda, it's indirect: humidity alters host plant quality, which in turn affects eyespots. These are 2 diverged species evolving under similar ecological pressures.

1/3 Excited that my final PhD MS is online! Big thanks to Ullasa (PI) (vanasiri.in) & collaborators Freerk and Urszula. Turns out humidity, not just temperature, plays a major role in butterfly eyespot plasticity. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

We have not done predation experiments as a part of this study; that’d be very interesting to do and build on the existing predation experiment studies

Our new paper is out. We point out that large brained (and often smart) mammals and birds have evolved very different distribution of neurons numbers in the brain.
This means that similar cognitive abilities have evolved in very different brains.
