Do Heliconius butterfly species exchange mimicry alleles?
Hybridization has the potential to transfer beneficial alleles across species boundaries, and there are a growing number of examples in which this has apparently occurred. Recent studies suggest that Heliconius butterflies have transferred wing pattern mimicry alleles between species via hybridization, but ancestral polymorphism could also produce a signature of shared ancestry around mimicry g...

متن کاملButterfly genome reveals promiscuous exchange of mimicry adaptations among species
The evolutionary importance of hybridization and introgression has long been debated. Hybrids are usually rare and unfit, but even infrequent hybridization can aid adaptation by transferring beneficial traits between species.Hereweuse genomic tools to investigate introgression inHeliconius, a rapidly radiating genus of neotropical butterflieswidely used in studies of ecology, behaviour,mimicry ...

متن کاملMultilocus analyses of admixture and introgression among hybridizing Heliconius butterflies.
Introgressive hybridization is an important evolutionary process and new analytical methods provide substantial power to detect and quantify it. In this study we use variation in the frequency of 657 AFLP fragments and DNA sequence variation from 15 genes to measure the extent of admixture and the direction of interspecific gene flow among three Heliconius butterfly species that diverged recent...
