Research on this species ranges from inquiries into the developmental genetics of wing pattern specification, phenotypic plasticity of morphology and behavior (sex-role reversal in courtship behavior), hormone physiology, pheromone communication, life-history evolution, sexual imprinting on wing patterns, evolution of wing patterns and pheromone signaling across close relatives, and speciation. It is currently the only butterfly species for which we have transgenic technology. We have currently 200,000 ESTs available for genome annotation, a BAC library, and 11 fully sequenced BACs. We also have a gene-based linkage map with all 28 chromosomes represented. e map with all 28 chromosomes represented.
