Correlations analysis of color patterns expression across body regions. Cramér’s V correlation coefficients for color pattern presence across mesoscutum, scutellum, metanotum, and basal area of T2 regions. Values near 0 indicate weak correlation, whereas those near 1 indicate strong correlation. Cross-tabulation of color pattern expression across body regions was performed using the Pandas library27, and the Cramér’s V correlation coefficient was calculated with NumPy28 and SciPy29. The resulting coefficients were visualized using Seaborn30.
