✦ Synopsis

The particular fascination of butterfly wings for developmental biologists (and others) lies in their spectacular array of colour patterns. The evolutionary and developmental relationships between these patterns have been analysed and we know something of the cell interactions involved in their formation('). Now butterfly homologues of Drosophila wing-patterning genes have been identified, and their expression patterns offer the first clues to the molecular mechanisms which specify wing colour patterns@).

The diversity in colour patterns on butterfly wings provides great potential for understanding how developmental mechanisms may be modulated in the evolution of adaptive traits. In particular, we discuss concentric eyespot patterns, which have been shown by surgical experiments to be formed in respo

The cellular memory of the gene expression state is termed maintenance, and the proteins required for this process are termed maintenance proteins. The best charac
