TL;DR: It is inferred that closely related Heliconius species exchange protective colour-pattern genes promiscuously, implying that hybridization has an important role in adaptive radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
optix Drives the Repeated Convergent Evolution of Butterfly Wing Pattern Mimicry
Robert D. Reed,Riccardo Papa,Riccardo Papa,Arnaud Martin,Heather M. Hines,Brian A. Counterman,Carolina Pardo-Diaz,Chris D. Jiggins,Nicola Chamberlain,Marcus R. Kronforst,Rui Chen,Georg Halder,H. Frederik Nijhout,W. Owen McMillan,W. Owen McMillan +14 more
TL;DR: The results show that the cis-regulatory evolution of a single transcription factor can repeatedly drive the convergent evolution of complex color patterns in distantly related species, thus blurring the distinction between convergence and homology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic architecture and introgression shape a butterfly radiation

Blumberg,John Wakeley,David B. Jaffe,James Mallet +33 more
TL;DR: Tests to distinguish incomplete lineage sorting from introgression indicate that gene flow has obscured several ancient phylogenetic relationships in this group over large swathes of the genome, and a hitherto unknown inversion that traps a color pattern switch locus is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversification of complex butterfly wing patterns by repeated regulatory evolution of a Wnt ligand
Arnaud Martin,Riccardo Papa,Nicola J. Nadeau,Ryan I. Hill,Brian A. Counterman,Georg Halder,Chris D. Jiggins,Marcus R. Kronforst,Anthony D. Long,W. Owen McMillan,Robert D. Reed +10 more
TL;DR: Linkage mapping, gene-expression analysis, and pharmacological treatments all indicate that cis-regulatory evolution of the WntA ligand underpins discrete changes in color pattern features across the Heliconius genus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex modular architecture around a simple toolkit of wing pattern genes

Hines,Mayte Ruiz,Camilo Salazar,Mauricio Linares,Gilson R. P. Moreira,Chris D. Jiggins,Brian A. Counterman,W. Owen McMillan,Riccardo Papa +19 more
TL;DR: It is shown that variation around colour pattern genes is highly modular, with narrow genomic intervals associated with specific differences in colour and pattern, and provides a flexible mechanism for rapid morphological diversification.
