Partial complementarity of the mimetic yellow bar phenotype in Heliconius butterflies.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

Heliconius butterflies are an excellent system for understanding the genetic basis of phenotypic change. Here we document surprising diversity in the genetic control of a common phenotype. Two disjunct H. erato populations have each recruited the Cr and/or Sd loci that control similar yellow hindwing patterns, but the alleles involved partially complement one another indicating either multiple origins for the...
