Patterns of morphological variation highlight the effect of natural selection on eyespots modularity in the butterfly Morpho telemachus - Dataset

Morphological correlations can stem from developmental constraints but also from selective pressures. Butterfly eyespots are repeated wing color pattern elements, widespread across species. As developmental serial homologues, they are controlled by similar developmental pathways imposing correlations among eyespots: selection on a single eyespot may induce correlated responses in all eyespots. We study the variations in the ventral eyespots of Morpho telemachus, where two different selective regimes are likely to act: while most eyespots are always-visible, two eyespots are conditionally-displayed: hidden at rest, they can be exposed when the butterflies are threatened, or during sexual interactions. We investigate how such contrasted selection across eyespots can alter the covariations imposed by their shared developmental origin. We quantified eyespots' co-variations within a large population of M. telemachus and compared the observed patterns to those found in M. helenor, where all e..., These files contain data used in the three sections of Materials & Methods, in order:
Estimating eyespot conspicuousness_ reflectance spectrum: 
 
1) helenor spectra
- Reflectance spectra (.RFL8 files) from (n=10) M. helenor, Yellow ring + Black ring
- \"Spectra IDH.csv\" = referende files for helenor spectra, indicating the butterfly ID, the eyespot ID and the side of each reflectance spectra. 
Example \"PBM_0664_O1L\" = spectrum measured on the butterfly \"PBM_0664\", on the eyespot \"O1\" on the Left side. 
 
2) telemachus spectra
- Reflectance spectrum (.RFL8 files) from (n=10) M. telemachus, Yellow ring + Black ring
- \"Spectra IDT.csv\" = reference files, indicating the butterfly ID, the eyespot ID and the side of each reflectance spectra. 
3) \"spectra_code.R\" = R code for spectra (.RFL8) analysis
