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

Evolution of Diversity in Warning Color and Mimicry: Polymorphisms, Shifting Balance, and Speciation

TL;DR: These contrasting patterns can be explained, in part, by the shape of a “number-dependent” selection function first modeled by Fritz Muller in 1879: Purifying selectio...
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptive introgression across species boundaries in Heliconius butterflies.

TL;DR: Analysis of the role of introgressive hybridisation in transferring adaptations between mimetic Heliconius butterflies, taking advantage of the recent identification of a gene regulating red wing patterns in this genus, finds an almost perfect genotype by phenotype association across four species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic islands of divergence in hybridizing Heliconius butterflies identified by large-scale targeted sequencing.

TL;DR: Targeted next-generation sequence capture is used to survey patterns of divergence across these entire regions in divergent geographical races and species of Heliconius, finding major peaks of elevated population differentiation between races across hybrid zones, which indicate regions under strong divergent selection.
