Thermal ecology of Pieris butterflies (Lepidoptera; Pieridae): a new mechanism of behavioral thermoregulation

Abstract

Results show that Pieris require thoracic temperature in order to take off and fly, and achieve these elevated temperatures by basking, and suggest that a re-evaluation of the functional significance of melanization in Pieris is needed.
