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

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2021
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.

For Heliconius’ eyes only

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2017
![Figure][1] Red postman Heliconius erato butterfly in white light. Photo credit: Susan Finkbeiner. Some colours are the visual equivalent of a scream; from ‘Eat me’, to ‘Don't eat me’, to ‘Come hither’, plants and animals constantly flaunt their talents or warn each other ...

Antennal Responses to Floral Scents in the Butterfly Heliconius melpomene

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2003
Floral scent, together with visual floral cues, are important signals to adult butterflies searching for food-rewarding plants. To identify which compounds in a floral scent are more attractive and, thus, of biological importance to foraging butterflies, we applied electrophysiological methods.

Genetics of behavioral evolution in Heliconius butterflies

2022
Changes in the way animals perceive and respond to the environment are key to adaptation and speciation. However, we still know little of the genetic mechanisms underlying shifts in behavior. Identifying these genetic changes would provide an important route towards understanding how behavior is generated, both during development and across ...

Adaptation and Evolution in Heliconius: A Defense of NeoDarwinism

Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1981
The neoDarwinian theory of evolution (or "modem synthesis") may not explain evolution in the long term. In particular, it has been suggested that it explains neither the discontinuities in the fossil record [see reports on the recent conference in Chicago (68, 71a)], nor the origin of complex, integrated adaptations (49, 90).

Retinal duality in the butterfly Heliconius charitonius

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1973
Abstract Previous studies have suggested that the waveform of the insect electroretinogram could be interpreted as giving evidence for independent photopic and scotopic mechanisms in the retina (retinal duality). The present study reports the results of four types of experiments designed to test for such duality.

CIS-REGULATORY EVOLUTION IN HELICONIUS BUTTERFLIES

2017
cis-Regulatory element evolution is a key mechanism of biological diversification. Surprisingly little is known, however, about patterns of gene regulatory evolution across a range of divergence times, and the extent to which such variation drives local genomic adaptation.

32 Heliconius Butterflies: Genome sequencing

2013
10 genomes each from H. cydno galanthus, H. pachinus and H. melpomene rosina from populations in Costa Rica. We also sequenced an additional genome each from H. hecale and H. ismenius.
