Transposable element insertions are associated with Batesian mimicry in the pantropical butterfly Hypolimnas misippus

A. Orteu, M. Kucka, E. Katili, C. Ngumbao, I. J. Gordon, I. Ng'iru, G. Talavera, I. A. Warren, S. Collins, R. H. ffrench-Constant, D. J. Martins, Y. F. Chan, C. D. Jiggins, S. H. Martin

This study identifies transposable element insertions at the M locus in Hypolimnas misippus that drive adaptive atavism for Batesian mimicry of Danaus chrysippus.

Colour polymorphism associated with a gene duplication in male wood tiger moths

M. N. Brien, A. Orteu, E. C. Yen, J. A. Galarza, J. Kirvesoja, H. Pakkanen, K. Wakamatsu, C. D. Jiggins, J. Mappes

The paper identifies a gene duplication linked to colour polymorphism in male wood tiger moths, showing it produces white wing coloration and is associated with behavioural and life-history differences.

A novel terpene synthase produces an anti-aphrodisiac pheromone in the butterfly Heliconius melpomene

K. Darragh, A. Orteu, K. J. R. P. Byers, D. Szczerbowski, I. A. Warren, P. Rastas, A. L. Pinharanda, J. Davey, S. F. Garza, D. Abondano Almeida, R. M. Merrill, W. O. McMillan, S. Schulz, C. D. Jiggins

The paper identifies a novel terpene synthase in Heliconius melpomene that synthesizes (E)-β-ocimene, an anti-aphrodisiac pheromone, showing it evolved independently from plant and other insect TPSs.

Sequestration and functional diversification of cyanogenic glucosides in the life cycle of Heliconius melpomene

E. C. Pinheiro de Castro, R. Demirtas, A. Orteu, C. E. Olsen, M. S. Motawie, M. Zikan Cardoso, M. Zagrobelny, S. Bak

This study investigates how Heliconius melpomene larvae sequester and utilize cyanogenic glucosides from Passiflora plants, revealing differences in sequestration ability and biosynthesis across developmental stages.
