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
Linkage of butterfly mate preference and wing color preference cue at the genomic location of wingless
Marcus R. Kronforst,Laura G. Young,Durrell D. Kapan,Durrell D. Kapan,Camille McNeely,Camille McNeely,Rachel J. O’Neill,Rachel J. O’Neill,Lawrence E. Gilbert +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the specific cue used by Heliconius cydno and Heliconii pachinus males to recognize conspecific females is the color of patches on the wings, indicating a genetic association between the loci responsible for preference and preference cue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-butterfly system provides a field test of müllerian mimicry.
TL;DR: It is shown that müllerian mimicry with several co-models generates geographically divergent selection, which explains the existence of polymorphism in distasteful species with warning coloration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Man Bites Mosquito: Understanding the Contribution of Human Movement to Vector-Borne Disease Dynamics
Ben Adams,Durrell D. Kapan +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that hubs and reservoirs of infection can be places people visit frequently but briefly and the relative importance of human and mosquito populations in maintaining the pathogen depends on the distribution of the mosquito population and the variability in human travel patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymorphic butterfly reveals the missing link in ecological speciation.
TL;DR: Study of a butterfly population with a mimetic wing color polymorphism found that the butterflies exhibited partial, color-based, assortative mate preference, which represent the divergent, ecologically based signal and preference components of sexual isolation that usually distinguish incipient and sibling species.
