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
Positive selection of a duplicated UV-sensitive visual pigment coincides with wing pigment evolution in Heliconius butterflies
Adriana D. Briscoe,Seth M. Bybee,Gary D. Bernard,Furong Yuan,Marilou P. Sison-Mangus,Robert D. Reed,Andrew Warren,Jorge Llorente-Bousquets,Chuan-Chin Chiao +8 more
TL;DR: Functional diversification of the UV-sensitive visual pigments may help explain why the yellow wing pigments of Heliconius are so colorful in the UV range compared to the yellow pigment of close relatives lacking the UV opsin duplicate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Female behaviour drives expression and evolution of gustatory receptors in butterflies
Adriana D. Briscoe,Aide Macias-Muñoz,Krzysztof M. Kozak,James R. Walters,Furong Yuan,Gabriel A. Jamie,Simon H. Martin,Kanchon K. Dasmahapatra,Laura Ferguson,James Mallet,James Mallet,Emmanuelle Jacquin-Joly,Chris D. Jiggins +12 more
TL;DR: A striking sexual dimorphism in the abundance of gustatory sensilla on the forelegs of H. melpomene is suggested, suggesting that female oviposition behaviour drives the evolution of new gustatory receptors in butterfly genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
UV photoreceptors and UV-yellow wing pigments in Heliconius butterflies allow a color signal to serve both mimicry and intraspecific communication.
Seth M. Bybee,Furong Yuan,Monica D. Ramstetter,Jorge Llorente-Bousquets,Robert D. Reed,Daniel Osorio,Adriana D. Briscoe +6 more
TL;DR: These results are the best available evidence for the correlated evolution of a color signal and color vision and suggest that predator visual systems are error prone in the context of mimicry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opsin clines in butterflies suggest novel roles for insect photopigments
Francesca D. Frentiu,Furong Yuan,Wesley K. Savage,Gary D. Bernard,Sean P. Mullen,Adriana D. Briscoe +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that opsin diversification in this butterfly is more consistent with natural selection unrelated to spectral tuning, and the possibility that insect opsins might have important, yet-to-be elucidated, adaptive functions in mediating animal responses to abiotic factors, such as temperature or photoperiod is discussed.
