Reproductive isolation caused by colour pattern mimicry
Chris D. Jiggins,Chris D. Jiggins,Russell E. Naisbit,Rebecca L. Coe,James Mallet,James Mallet +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a shift in colour pattern mimicry was crucial in the origin of two butterfly species, and individuals from a population of H. melpomene allopatric to H. cydno court and mate with the sister species more readily than those from a sympatric population, suggesting that assortative mating has been enhanced in sympatry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sown wildflower strips for insect conservation: a review
TL;DR: Sown wildflower strips are increasingly being established in European countries within agri‐environmental schemes to enhance biodiversity, especially in intensively used agricultural areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disruptive sexual selection against hybrids contributes to speciation between Heliconius cydno and Heliconius melpomene.
TL;DR: Evidence for disruptive sexual selection against hybrids between Heliconius cydno and Heliconia melpomene is provided, blurring the distinction between pre–mating and post-mating isolation, and helping to maintain the distinctness of these hybridizing species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid sterility, Haldane's rule and speciation in Heliconius cydno and H. melpomene.
Russell E. Naisbit,Chris D. Jiggins,Chris D. Jiggins,Mauricio Linares,Camilo Salazar,James Mallet,James Mallet +6 more
TL;DR: The results conform to the expectations of the "dominance" rather than "faster male" theories of Haldane's rule and suggest that relatively few loci are responsible for the effect of female sterility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mimicry: developmental genes that contribute to speciation
TL;DR: The genetics of Müllerian mimicry in Heliconius cydno and H. melpomene is described, suggesting color pattern evolution is constrained by preexisting linked elements that may have arisen via tandem duplication rather than having been assembled by natural selection.
