Phylogenetic codivergence supports coevolution of mimetic Heliconius butterflies.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Cuthill Jennifer Hoyal, Charleston Michael

Abstract excerpt

The unpalatable and warning-patterned butterflies Heliconius erato and Heliconius melpomene provide the best studied example of mutualistic Müllerian mimicry, thought-but rarely demonstrated-to promote coevolution. Some of the strongest available evidence for coevolution comes from phylogenetic codivergence, the parallel divergence of ecologically associated lineages. Early evolutionary reconstructions suggested...
