Aposematic theory has historically predicted that predators should select for warning signals
to converge on a single form, as a result of frequency‐dependent learning. However …

Research into Heliconius butterflies has made a significant contribution to evolutionary
biology. Here, we review our understanding of the diversification of these butterflies …

Most speciation events probably occur gradually, without complete and immediate
reproductive isolation, but the full extent of gene flow between diverging species has rarely …

The wing patterns of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) are diverse and striking examples
of evolutionary diversification by natural selection,. Lepidopteran wing colour patterns are a …

Identifying the genomic changes that control morphological variation and understanding
how they generate diversity is a major goal of evolutionary biology. In Heliconius butterflies …

Müllerian mimicry among Neotropical Heliconiini butterflies is an excellent example of
natural selection, associated with the diversification of a large continental-scale radiation …

An important goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the genetic changes underlying
novel morphological structures. We investigated the origins of a complex wing pattern found …

Background Although hybridization is thought to be relatively rare in animals, the raw
genetic material introduced via introgression may play an important role in fueling …

Adaptive radiation unfolds as selection acts on the genetic variation underlying functional
traits. The nature of this variation can be revealed by studying the tips of an ongoing …

Adaptive radiation is the rapid and extensive ecological diversification of an organismal
lineage to generate both phenotypic disparity (divergence) and similarity (convergence) …
