Evolutionary Developmental Biology aims for a mechanistic understanding of phenotypic
diversity, and present knowledge is largely based on gene expression and interaction patterns …

Butterfly wing patterns are more than just visually stunning examples of the evolutionary
process. They are also emerging as exceptional model systems with which to link the …

Mimicry—whereby warning signals in different species evolve to look similar—has long
served as a paradigm of convergent evolution. Little is known, however, about the genes that …

It is widely documented that hybridisation occurs between many closely related species, but
the importance of introgression in adaptive evolution remains unclear, especially in animals. …

We used 20 de novo genome assemblies to probe the speciation history and architecture of
gene flow in rapidly radiating Heliconius butterflies. Our tests to distinguish incomplete …

… Bermingham; a National Science Foundation grant (IBN-0344705) to WO McMillan; a grant
from … Abanto, WO McMillan, and CD Jiggins performed the insectary crosses. M. Beltrán, N. …

Although animals display a rich variety of shapes and patterns, the genetic changes that
explain how complex forms arise are still unclear. Here we take advantage of the extensive …

The wing patterns of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) are diverse and striking examples
of evolutionary diversification by natural selection 1 , 2 . Lepidopteran wing colour patterns …

In the last four decades the incidence of dengue fever has increased 30-fold worldwide, and
over half the world's population is now threatened with infection from one or more of four co-…

Marine multicellular organisms host a diverse collection of bacteria, archaea, microbial
eukaryotes, and viruses that form their microbiome. Such host-associated microbes can …
