The evolutionary genetics of highly divergent alleles of the mimicry locus in Papilio dardanus.

BMC evolutionary biology - 31 Aug 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The phylogenetic history of genes underlying phenotypic diversity can offer insight into the evolutionary origin of adaptive traits. This is especially true where single genes have large phenotypic effects, for example in determining polymorphic mimicry in butterflies. Here, we characterise the evolutionary history of two candidate genes for the mimicry switch in the polymorphic Batesian mimic Papilio...
