Mimicry: developmental genes that contribute to speciation.

Evolution & development - 1 Jan 2000

Naisbit Russell E, Jiggins Chris D, Mallet James

Abstract excerpt

Despite renewed interest in the role of natural selection as a catalyst for the origin of species, the developmental and genetic basis of speciation remains poorly understood. Here we describe the genetics of Müllerian mimicry in Heliconius cydno and H. melpomene (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), sister species that recently diverged to mimic other Heliconius. This mimetic shift was a key step in their speciation,...
