Migration distance as a selective episode for wing morphology in a migratory insect
BACKGROUND: Selective pressures that occur during long-distance migration can influence morphological traits across a range of taxa. In flying insects, selection should favour individuals that have wing morphologies that increase energy efficiency and survival. In monarch butterflies, differences in...
