Genetic differentiation without mimicry shift in a pair of hybridizing Heliconius species (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)
Claire Mérot,Jesús Mavárez,Jesús Mavárez,Allowen Evin,Allowen Evin,Kanchon K. Dasmahapatra,Kanchon K. Dasmahapatra,James Mallet,James Mallet,Gerardo Lamas,Mathieu Joron +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, morphometric and genetic evidence for the coexistence of two closely related, hybridizing co-mimetic species on the eastern slopes of the Andes, H. melpomene amaryllis and H.timareta ssp. nov.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wing shape variation associated with mimicry in butterflies.
Robert T. Jones,Yann Le Poul,Annabel Whibley,Claire Mérot,Richard H. ffrench-Constant,Mathieu Joron +5 more
TL;DR: The study suggests that wing‐shape variation is associated with mimetic resemblance, and raises the intriguing possibility that the supergene responsible for controlling the major switch in color pattern between morphs also contributes to wing shape differences in H. numata.

What shapes the continuum of reproductive isolation? Lessons from Heliconius butterflies.
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of existing and novel data is carried out in order to quantify the strength and direction of isolating barriers within a well-studied clade of Heliconius, highlighting that increased divergence is associated with the accumulation of stronger and more numerous barriers to gene flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryptic differences in colour among Müllerian mimics: how can the visual capacities of predators and prey shape the evolution of wing colours?
TL;DR: The evolution of wing colour in mimetic butterflies might be shaped by the opposite selective pressures exerted by predation and species recognition, suggesting that this variation in colour might be used by butterflies for distinguishing mating partners without losing the benefits of mimicry.

Genome-wide admixture is common across the Heliconius radiation
Krzysztof M. Kozak,Krzysztof M. Kozak,W. O. McMillan,Mathieu Joron,Chris D. Jiggins,Chris D. Jiggins +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the imposition of the bifurcating tree model without testing for interspecific gene flow may distort the perception of adaptive radiations and thus the ability to study trait evolution in a comparative framework.
