Résumé
Insect coloration has evolved in response to multiple pressures, and in Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) a body of work supports a role of wing color in a variety of visual signals and potentially in thermoregulation. Previous efforts have focused primarily on melanistic coloration even though wings are often multicolored, and there has yet to be comprehensive comparative analyses of wing color across broad geographic regions and phylogenetic groups. Percher vs. flier flight-style, a trait with thermoregulatory and signaling consequences, has not yet been studied with regard to color. We used a new color clustering approach to quantify color across a dataset of over 8,000 odonate wing images representing 343 Nearctic species. We then utilized phylogenetically informed Bayesian zero-inflated mixture models to test how color varies with mean ambient temperature, body size, sex and flight-style. We found that wing coloration clustered into two groups across all specimens - light brown-yellow and black-dark brown - with black-dark brown being a much more cohesive grouping. Male perchers have a greater proportion of black-dark brown color on their wings as do species with longer wings. In colder climates, odonates were more likely to have black-dark brown color present, but we found no relationship between the proportion of black and temperature. Light brown-yellow showed similar scaling with wing length, but no relationship with temperature. Our results suggest that black-dark brown coloration may have a limited role in thermoregulation, while light brown-yellow does not have such a role. We also find that the odonate sexes are divergent in wing color in percher species only, suggesting a strong role for color in signaling in more territorial males. Our research contributes to an understanding of complex interactions driving ecological and evolutionary dynamics of color in animals.
