Heliconius butterflies: a window into the evolution and development of diversity.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Aug 2021

Van Belleghem Steven M, Lewis James J, Rivera Edgardo S, Papa Riccardo

Abstract excerpt

Butterflies have become prominent models for studying the evolution and development of phenotypic variation. In Heliconius, extraordinary within species divergence and between species convergence in wing color patterns has driven decades of comparative genetic studies. However, connecting genetic patterns of diversification to the molecular mechanisms of adaptation has remained elusive. Recent studies are...
