Visual mate preference evolution during butterfly speciation is linked to neural processing genes

Nature Communications, 2020
The genetic mechanisms underlying mate choice decisions can inform our understanding of speciation. A study on Heliconius butterflies identifies 5 candidate genes that would allow sympatric species to evolve distinct preferences without altering their ...

Cessation of Gene Flow Associated With the Reduction of a Sexually Selected Phenotype in the Island Stag Beetle

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Whether gene flow acts as a creative or constraining force on local adaptation is a fundamental question in evolutionary biology, yet its role in the evolution of sexually selected traits remains poorly understood. Here we combine whole‐genome and functional analyses to investigate how geological isolation is associated with the evolution of ...

Introgression and Divergence in a Young Species Group

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The process of speciation concerns often multiple diverging and interacting taxa, not only taxon pairs. Understanding the evolution of species' diversity and their persistence therefore requires insight into how gene flow and evolution of reproductive isolation shape groups of closely related species.

Structure Formation in Butterfly Scales: Interplay of Genetic Control, Mechanical Instabilities, and Dynamic Material Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 38, 11 May 2026.
Butterfly wing scales are intricate cuticular functional nanosctructures. This perspective suggests that spatially varying material properties, cytoskeletal constraints, and growth‐driven mechanical instabilities shape the resulting nanoscale architectures created from single cells.

Complex interspecific and intersexual patterns of wing design in Heliconius butterflies [PDF]

Nota Lepidopterologica
In butterflies, interspecific and intersexual variation in wing design morphology modifies aerodynamic efficiency and individuals’ flight costs. Wing design involves traits like wing shape and size, which determine flight performance and behavioral ...

Quaternary Climate‐Driven Diversification of Alpine Grasshoppers in the Central Apennines: Insights Into Mediterranean Sky Islands as Centers of Microendemism

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Pleistocene climatic oscillations profoundly shaped Mediterranean mountain biotas through recurrent cycles of isolation and connectivity. Yet, despite the Central Apennines being a major centre of local endemism, this region has received limited attention in genomic studies addressing biogeographic processes.

Adaptation to altitude in Heliconius butterflies

, 2021
Local adaptation is an important process for studying recent evolutionary change. The environment changes drastically along steep clines, such as mountains, and diverse sets of challenges are predicted to drive local adaptation. Thus, these clines represent ideal settings to identify the traits and genomic mechanisms that allow some organisms to ...
