A shared genetic basis of mimicry across swallowtail butterflies points to ancestral co-option of doublesex.

Nature communications - 3 Jan 2020

Palmer Daniela H, Kronforst Marcus R

Abstract excerpt

Uncovering whether convergent adaptations share a genetic basis is consequential for understanding the evolution of phenotypic diversity. This information can help us understand the extent to which shared ancestry or independent evolution shape adaptive phenotypes. In this study, we first ask whether the same genes underlie polymorphic mimicry in Papilio swallowtail butterflies. By comparing signatures of genetic...
