Dragonflies found to adapt color of wings to temperature

MSN: Biology researchers, including graduate student Michael Moore and assistant professor Ryan Martin, found that dragonflies adapt the color of their wings to local temperature—a discovery that might explain color variation in other species and provide evolutionary biologists clues about how rising global temperatures might affect some species.
