Transcriptome analysis reveals novel patterning and pigmentation genes underlying Heliconius butterfly wing pattern variation

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background Heliconius butterfly wing pattern diversity offers a unique opportunity to investigate how natural genetic variation can drive the evolution of complex adaptive phenotypes.

Waves of range dynamics and gene flow characterize the biogeographic history of Litsea elongata, a dominant tree in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

Absence of crossing-over in female butterflies (Heliconius) [PDF]

Heredity, 1975
Absence of recombination between linked markers in female Heliconius is suggested by coupling backcross broods in H. erato, by a repulsion F2 in H. melpomene, and by other crosses with this species. No recombinants have been found in the offspring of doubly heterozygous females in either species.

Sex-related interannual plasticity in wing morphological design in Heliconius charithonia enhances flight metabolic performance.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Flight morphological variations and its consequences on animal performance are common in winged insects. In the butterfly Heliconius charithonia, sex-related differences in the wing morphological design have been described resulting in differences in ...

Repeated trends in altitudinal gradients of diversity: How habitat filtering and biotic interactions structure ecological communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that tropical butterfly communities show remarkably consistent elevational patterns of diversity and phylogenetic structure across regions with contrasting evolutionary histories, demonstrating how regional species pools and local ecological factors jointly shape biodiversity along altitudinal gradients.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

The appearance of mimetic Heliconius butterflies to predators and conspecifics [PDF]

Evolution, 2018
La coloration adaptative est soumise à des pressions de sélection contradictoires : choix des partenaires potentiels et signalisation d'avertissement contre les prédateurs guidés visuellement. Différents éléments du signal de couleur peuvent donc être accordés par évolution pour différentes fonctions.

A novel terpene synthase controls differences in anti-aphrodisiac pheromone production between closely related Heliconius butterflies.

PLoS Biology, 2021
Plants and insects often use the same compounds for chemical communication, but not much is known about the genetics of convergent evolution of chemical signals.

Ontogeny of escape response and body shape in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Escape responses in fishes provide insight into accelerative motions and behavioural response times of these animals, linking numerous fitness‐related traits. We sought to connect escape response performance to genotype and phenotype across ontogenetic stages within a single population of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) to ...
