Genomic hotspots for adaptation: the population genetics of Müllerian mimicry in Heliconius erato.

Genomic hotspots for adaptation: the population genetics of Müllerian mimicry in Heliconius erato.

Wing pattern evolution in Heliconius butterflies provides some of the most striking examples of adaptation by natural selection. The genes controlling pattern variation are classic examples of Mendelian loci of large effect, where allelic variation causes large and discrete phenotypic changes and is...
