Parallel race formation and the evolution of mimicry in heliconius butterflies: a phylogenetic hypothesis from mitochondrial dna sequences.
TL;DR: In this paper, Cytochrome Oxidase I and II sequences from multiple, parallel races of Heliconius erato and H. melpomene are examined, to estimate intraspecific phylogeny and gauge sequence divergence and ages of clades among races within each species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher level phylogeny for the passion‐vine butterflies (Nymphalidae, Heliconiinae) based on early stage and adult morphology
TL;DR: A higher level phylogeny for the passion-vine butterflies (Nymphalidae, Heliconiinae) was generated by cladistic analysis of 146 morphological characters from all life stages, and supported the monophyly of all currently recognized genera.

Studies of Müllerian Mimicry and its Evolution in Burnet Moths and Heliconid Butterflies
TL;DR: The cornerstone of Mullerian mimicry is uniformity of pattern, and Mullerian mimics are not likely to be polymorphic, unlike Batesian mimICS (palatable species resembling unpalatable ones), in which polymorphism is favoured by natural selection.
