Abstract excerpt
Mimicry among Heliconius butterflies provides a classic example of coevolution but unresolved relationships among mimetic subspecies have prevented examination of codiversification between species. We present amplified fragment length polymorphism and mtDNA datasets for the major comimetic races of Heliconius erato and H. melpomene. The AFLP data reveal unprecedented resolution, clustering samples by geography...
