Summary of QTL analysis of forewing color and band size.

The percent variation explained by individual QTLs when each QTL region was analyzed separately (Main Markers Contribution), when all significant QTLs were analyzed together assuming additivity of markers (additive model), and when all QTLs were analyzed together but assuming interactions between major effect loci and other QTLs (epistatic model) are presented for the forewing color and band size quantitative variation. For each QTL analyses [redness, white-yellow switch, Big-Spot shape (BS), and Not-Spot (NS)] the probability and the amount of variation explained by each model are shown. The relative contributions of particular QTLs under both additive and epistatic models for different aspects of forewing band color and size/variation are also detailed. Significance at the P = 0.05 (*), P = 0.01 (**), and P = 0.001 (***) levels for each locus is reported. Epistatic interaction between two distinct loci is reported with each locus ID separated by a colon.
