Butterflies make extensive use of color vision in mating, food                  finding and egg deposition.  Their natural history and genetics                 have been studied extensively.  For these reasons they are an                   excellent organism from which to learn general principles related               to color vision.                                                                                                                                                Dr. Bernard has developed methods by which it is possible to                    measure the sensitivity of butterfly photoreceptors to light of                 different wavelengths in living animals.  He has demonstrated                   that there is great diversity between butterfly species in this                 regard.  In this project he is exploring this matter further,                   correlating the spectral sensitivities with the colors of host                  plants and of butterflies of the opposite sex and of other                      species.  These studies should contribute much to our                           understanding of the relationship of color vision to specific                   behaviors.
