Strategies for lepidopteran wing pattern diversification. Schematic illustrations of divergence in moth and butterfly wing patterns. (a) Individualization: a commonly discussed strategy that allows the independent modification of the common (homologous) elements; (b) Rewiring: a novel strategy proposed in this study that allows the association of the common elements to couple and decouple to establish new modules, free from the individuality of the NGP system.
