Butterfly genome reveals promiscuous exchange of mimicry adaptations among species

Kanchon K. Dasmahapatra, +83 more
- 05 Jul 2012 - 
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

Male contribution to egg production in butterflies: evidence for transfer of nutrients at mating.

TL;DR: Radiotracer studies on three butterfly species showed that nutrients contributed by males through mating are used by females for egg production and possibly for somatic maintenance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pollen Feeding and Reproductive Biology of Heliconius Butterflies

TL;DR: Butterflies of the neotropical Genus Heliconius feed on pollen; this is the first known instance in butterflies of a habit that is well known for other insects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linkage of butterfly mate preference and wing color preference cue at the genomic location of wingless

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.
