A Conserved Supergene Locus Controls Colour Pattern Diversity in Heliconius Butterflies

A Conserved Supergene Locus Controls Colour Pattern Diversity in Heliconius Butterflies

We studied whether similar developmental genetic mechanisms are involved in both convergent and divergent evolution. Mimetic insects are known for their diversity of patterns as well as their remarkable evolutionary convergence, and they have played an important role in controversies over the respec...
