Conserved signaling pathways antagonize and synergize with co-opted doublesex to control development of novel mimetic butterfly wing patterns

This study shows how co-opted doublesex gene expression alters conserved signaling pathways to develop novel mimetic butterfly wing patterns.

Seasonal plasticity in morphology and metabolism differs between migratory North American and resident Costa Rican monarch butterflies

This study compares seasonal plasticity in morphology and metabolism between migratory North American and resident Costa Rican monarch butterflies, finding differences in morphological and metabolic responses to seasonal changes.

Genomic architecture and introgression shape a butterfly radiation

The paper uses a low-cost genome assembly strategy to study Heliconius butterfly evolution, finding that introgression, not incomplete lineage sorting, explains most non-canonical genetic histories.

Female mate choice is a reproductive isolating barrier in Heliconius butterflies

This study shows female mate choice contributes to premating reproductive isolation between Heliconius cydno and H. pachinus by preferring conspecific males.
