Relevant Experience
Butterfly morphological response to environmental drivers:
- This study examines the relationship between human population density and wing melanization in Pieris rapae butterflies across the UK, Japan, and Australia from the 1800s to 2000s. Using ImageJ and QGIS for analysis, results showed no significant correlation in the UK and Japan but a possible link in Australia. The findings suggest human impact on evolution is complex, influenced by multiple factors. Further research is needed on urbanization, industrialization, and historical population data to understand evolutionary consequences in P. rapae better.
