The population genetics of mimetic diversity in Heliconius butterflies.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Mar 2008

Kronforst Marcus R, Gilbert Lawrence E

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts strong stabilizing selection on warning patterns within species and convergent evolution among species in Müllerian mimicry systems yet Heliconius butterflies exhibit extreme wing pattern diversity. One potential explanation for the evolution of this diversity is that genetic drif...
