It is a paradox that these small eyespots protect prey animals such as the butterflies by attracting attacks from predators. Such eyespots direct predator attacks toward less important parts of the prey\u2019s body, namely the hindwings, thus helping them to escape and live another day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Prof Ant\u00f3nia MONTEIRO and her team from the Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore showed that the location of these eyespots is key to their protection (see Figure). Bush brown butterflies have many more eyespots on their hindwings than on their forewings. Variants with more eyespots on their forewings suffered more attacks by predators on these wings, which ultimately led to increased rates of successful predation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">In one set of experiments, the research team observed the behaviour of mantid predators attacking two different types of bush brown butterflies from the same species. The first type had two forewing eyespots while the second type had four forewing eyespots. It was found that the two extra eyespots caused the predators to switch from attacking the hindwing alone to attacking both wings at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Dr Ian CHAN, a research fellow on the team said, \u201cThese results are telling because they show that the forewing becomes a more important target for predators in butterflies with more forewing eyespots. Butterflies can cope with damaged hindwings but their forewings are critical for all stages of flight\u2014from take-off to landing, and particularly when evading and escaping predators. With more forewing damage, these butterflies are less likely to escape an attack and even if they do, would struggle to survive future attacks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">To demonstrate the specific effects of the altered predator behaviour on butterfly health, measurements were made for three specific aspects of the butterflies\u2019 fitness: how much wing damage they suffered, how many eggs they laid, and how long they lived. The research team found that butterflies with more forewing eyespots received more forewing damage, laid fewer eggs, and had shorter lifespans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">\u201cOur findings demonstrate how the location of the eyespots on butterfly wings influences and is ultimately influenced by the behaviour of their predators. This reveals a little more of the complexity behind how animals communicate with one another. Such a discovery raises further questions about why some butterflies have the opposite pattern, carrying more forewing than hindwing eyespots instead,\u201d added Prof Monteiro.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Moving forward, the researchers are looking to investigate whole predator-prey communities to uncover further drivers of eyespot number diversity in butterflies.<span lang=\"EN-GB\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1142\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.science.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/282._AM_DBS_20210524_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.science.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/282._AM_DBS_20210524_1.jpg 1142w, https:\/\/www.science.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/282._AM_DBS_20210524_1-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.science.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/282._AM_DBS_20210524_1-1024x537.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.science.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/282._AM_DBS_20210524_1-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1142px) 100vw, 1142px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">The two variants of <i>Bicyclus anynana<\/i> used in the study.
