The study was carried out in order to detect the potential impact of biotope on the appearance of moths. Based on digitized photographs taken under UV light conditions and phylogeny-controlled redundancy analysis, the authors present noticeable relationship between species preferring hygrophilous habitats and higher UV wing reflectance. The authors attribute this to predator avoidance under habitat-specific light conditions.
