Title: Uncovering The Enchanting Color Palette Of Beetle Wings: Mechanisms Of Structural Iridescence, Pigmentation, And Adaptation
Beetle wing color exhibits remarkable diversity, owing to intricate structural and pigmentary mechanisms. Structural coloration, involving the manipulation of light waves, creates vibrant iridescence. Pigmentation, with melanin and other pigments, contributes to various shades and patterns. Polymorphism showcases color variation within populations, influenced by structural and pigmentary factors. Cryptic coloration enhances stealth, while aposematism uses …
