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

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conserved genetic basis of a quantitative plumage trait involved in mate choice

TL;DR: Phylogenetic reconstructions of variant MC1R alleles in geese and skuas show that melanism is a derived trait that evolved in the Pleistocene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversification of complex butterfly wing patterns by repeated regulatory evolution of a Wnt ligand

TL;DR: Linkage mapping, gene-expression analysis, and pharmacological treatments all indicate that cis-regulatory evolution of the WntA ligand underpins discrete changes in color pattern features across the Heliconius genus.
