Conserved microbiota among young Heliconius butterfly species [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Insects are the most diverse group of animals which have established intricate evolutionary interactions with bacteria. However, the importance of these interactions is still poorly understood.

Multi-allelic major effect genes interact with minor effect QTLs to control adaptive color pattern variation in Heliconius erato. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Recent studies indicate that relatively few genomic regions are repeatedly involved in the evolution of Heliconius butterfly wing patterns. Although this work demonstrates a number of cases where homologous loci underlie both convergent and divergent ...

Gene flow and the genealogical history of Heliconius heurippa [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008 La mariposa neotropical Heliconius heurippa tiene un patrón de color híbrido, que también contribuye al aislamiento reproductivo, lo que la convierte en un ejemplo probable de especiación híbrida. Aquí utilizamos análisis filogenéticos y basados en coalescencia de datos de secuencias multilocus para investigar el origen de H. heurippa. Secuenciamos una

Male sex pheromone components in Heliconius butterflies released by the androconia affect female choice [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Sex-specific pheromones are known to play an important role in butterfly courtship, and may influence both individual reproductive success and reproductive isolation between species.

EST analysis of male accessory glands from
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background Heliconius butterflies possess a remarkable diversity of phenotypes, physiologies, and behaviors that has long distinguished this genus as a focal taxon in ecological and evolutionary research.

Environmental Drivers of Diversification and Hybridization in Neotropical Butterflies
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Studying how the environment shapes current biodiversity patterns in species rich regions is a fundamental issue in biogeography, ecology, and conservation. However, in the Neotropics, the study of the forces driving species distribution and richness, is

Genetic evidence for hybrid trait speciation in heliconius butterflies. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 Homoploid hybrid speciation is the formation of a new hybrid species without change in chromosome number. So far, there has been a lack of direct molecular evidence for hybridization generating novel traits directly involved in animal speciation ...
