Phylogeny not mimicry drives chemical variation in tropical aposematic butterflies

R. Blow, S. Ehlers, I. Warren, D. Szczerbowski, S. Schulz, C. Jiggins

The paper examines chemical profiles of aposematic butterflies and finds that phylogenetic relationships, not mimicry, drive chemical variation among species.

Pollen-feeding delays reproductive senescence and maintains toxicity of Heliconius erato

E. C. Pinheiro de Castro, J. McPherson, G. Julian, A. Mattila, S. Bak, S. Montgomery, C. Jiggins

This study shows that pollen-feeding in Heliconius erato butterflies delays reproductive senescence, maintains female toxicity, and supports fertility, but not offspring defenses.

The evolution of novel biotic interactions at ecological margins in response to climate change involves alleles from across the geographical range of the UK Brown Argus butterfly

M. de Jong, A. Janzen van Rensburg, S. Whiteford, C. Yung, M. A. Beaumont, C. Jiggins, J. Bridle

The paper identifies genomic regions associated with climate adaptation in the UK Brown Argus butterfly, showing that novel biotic interactions evolve through allele assembly across its range.

Altitude and life-history shape the evolution of Heliconius wings

G. Montejo-Kovacevich, J. E. Smith, J. Meier, C. N. Bacquet, E. Whiltshire-Romero, N. J. Nadeau, C. Jiggins

This study examines how altitude and life-history traits influence wing shape and size divergence in Heliconius butterflies, revealing novel adaptive morphological patterns beyond coloration.

Genetic dissection of assortative mating behavior

R. M. Merrill, P. Rastas, M.-C. Melo, S. H. Martin, S. Barker, J. Davey, W. O. McMillan, C. Jiggins

This study identifies three large-effect QTLs underlying divergent male preference behavior in Heliconius butterflies, linking them to color pattern genes and suggesting modular evolution of assortative mating traits.

Recombination rate variation shapes barriers to introgression across butterfly genomes

S. H. Martin, J. Davey, C. Salazar, C. Jiggins

The paper examines how recombination rate variation influences introgression barriers in butterfly genomes, finding that recombination rates predict introgression rates and that long chromosomes have stronger barriers.
