Genome-wide evidence for speciation with gene flow in Heliconius butterflies.
- S. Martin, K. Dasmahapatra, +7 authors C. Jiggins
- Biology, Medicine
- Genome research
- 1 September 2013
Most speciation events probably occur gradually, without complete and immediate reproductive isolation, but the full extent of gene flow between diverging species has rarely been characterized on a… Expand
Chromosomal rearrangements maintain a polymorphic supergene controlling butterfly mimicry
- M. Joron, L. Frézal, +20 authors R. Ffrenchconstant
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 8 September 2011
Supergenes are tight clusters of loci that facilitate the co-segregation of adaptive variation, providing integrated control of complex adaptive phenotypes. Polymorphic supergenes, in which specific… Expand
Genome‐wide patterns of divergence and gene flow across a butterfly radiation
- N. Nadeau, S. Martin, +7 authors C. Jiggins
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 February 2013
The Heliconius butterflies are a diverse recent radiation comprising multiple levels of divergence with ongoing gene flow between species. The recently sequenced genome of Heliconius melpomene… Expand
Complex modular architecture around a simple toolkit of wing pattern genes
- Steven M. Van Belleghem, P. Rastas, +15 authors R. Papa
- Medicine
- Nature Ecology &Evolution
- 30 January 2017
Identifying the genomic changes that control morphological variation and understanding how they generate diversity is a major goal of evolutionary biology. In Heliconius butterflies, a small number… Expand
Hybrid trait speciation and Heliconius butterflies
- C. Jiggins, C. Salazar, M. Linares, J. Mavárez
- Biology, Medicine
- Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B…
- 27 September 2008
Homoploid hybrid speciation (HHS) is the establishment of a novel species through introgressive hybridization without a change in chromosome number. We discuss different routes by which this might… Expand
Two sisters in the same dress: Heliconius cryptic species
- N. Giraldo, C. Salazar, C. Jiggins, E. Bermingham, M. Linares
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Evolutionary Biology
- 28 November 2008
BackgroundSister species divergence and reproductive isolation commonly results from ecological adaptation. In mimetic Heliconius butterflies, shifts in colour pattern contribute to pre- and… Expand
Hybrid sterility, Haldane's rule and speciation in Heliconius cydno and H. melpomene.
- R. E. Naisbit, C. Jiggins, M. Linares, C. Salazar, J. Mallet
- Medicine, Biology
- Genetics
- 1 August 2002
Most genetic studies of Haldane's rule, in which hybrid sterility or inviability affects the heterogametic sex preferentially, have focused on Drosophila. It therefore remains unclear to what extent… Expand
Natural Selection and Genetic Diversity in the Butterfly Heliconius melpomene
- S. Martin, M. Moest, +4 authors Chris D. Jiggins
- Biology, Medicine
- Genetics
- 24 March 2016
A combination of selective and neutral evolutionary forces shape patterns of genetic diversity in nature. Among the insects, most previous analyses of the roles of drift and selection in shaping… Expand
Evolutionary Novelty in a Butterfly Wing Pattern through Enhancer Shuffling
- R. W. Wallbank, S. Baxter, +9 authors C. Jiggins
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS biology
- 1 January 2016
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 among Amazonian… Expand
Assortative Mating Preferences Among Hybrids Offers a Route to Hybrid Speciation
- M. C. Melo, C. Salazar, C. Jiggins, M. Linares
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 June 2009
Homoploid speciation generates species without a change in chromosome number via introgressive hybridization and has been considered rare in animals. Heliconius butterflies exhibit bright aposematic… Expand
