Maximum likelihood tree of 20 selected lepidopteran species with high quality genomes, representing seven butterfly and eight moth families (left). The tree was built from 3376 BUSCO single-copy orthologs, and results show 100% support with SH-aLRT and ultrafast bootstrap (black dot at nodes). The diel niche of each species is indicated by orange suns (diurnal) and purple moons (nocturnal). A gene count matrix of phototransduction-related gene families, showing mean gene copy number (right).
