Disruption of the odorant coreceptor Orco impairs foraging and host finding behaviors in the New World screwworm fly
Scientific Reports, 11(1).
MeSH headings : Animals; Diptera / metabolism; Diptera / physiology; Feeding Behavior; Host-Seeking Behavior; Insect Proteins / genetics; Insect Proteins / metabolism; Mutation; Phylogeny; Receptors, Odorant / genetics; Receptors, Odorant / metabolism; Smell

MATE PREFERENCE ACROSS THE SPECIATION CONTINUUM IN A CLADE OF MIMETIC BUTTERFLIES

TL;DR:
A model of ecological speciation in which strong premating isolation arises early, but continues to increase throughout the continuum from polymorphic populations through to “good,” sympatric ecologically divergent species is supported.

Wing patterning gene redefines the mimetic history of Heliconius butterflies
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 108(49), 19666–19671.
author keywords: Mullerian mimicry; population genetics; phylogeography
TL;DR:
A long-standing debate about the origins of the races within each species is resolved, supporting the hypothesis that the red-rayed Amazonian pattern evolved recently and expanded, causing disjunctions of more ancestral patterns.

optix Drives the Repeated Convergent Evolution of Butterfly Wing Pattern Mimicry
SCIENCE, 333(6046), 1137–1141.
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Biological; Animals; Biological Evolution; Butterflies / anatomy & histology; Butterflies / genetics; Butterflies / growth & development; Evolution, Molecular; Gene Expression Profiling; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Genes, Insect; Genetic Variation; Genome, Insect; Homeodomain Proteins / genetics; Insect Proteins / genetics; Linkage Disequilibrium; Molecular Sequence Data; Moths / genetics; Phenotype; Pigmentation / genetics; Regulatory Elements, Transcriptional; Selection, Genetic; Species Specificity; Transcription Factors / genetics; Transcription, Genetic; Wings, Animal / anatomy & histology; Wings, Animal / growth & development
TL;DR:
The results show that the cis-regulatory evolution of a single transcription factor can repeatedly drive the convergent evolution of complex color patterns in distantly related species, thus blurring the distinction between convergence and homology.

Dissecting comimetic radiations in Heliconius reveals divergent histories of convergent butterflies
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 107(16), 7365–7370.
author keywords: amplified fragment length polymorphism; Heliconius erato; Heliconius melpomene; Mullerian mimicry; mtDNA
MeSH headings : Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis; Animals; Butterflies / genetics; Butterflies / physiology; Cluster Analysis; DNA, Mitochondrial / metabolism; Evolution, Molecular; Geography; Likelihood Functions; Models, Genetic; Molecular Sequence Data; Phenotype; Phylogeny; Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length; Species Specificity; Time Factors
TL;DR:
The results suggest that H. erato originated on the western side of South America whereas H. melpomene originated in the east, and that each of the three main wing pattern phenotypes originated and/or was lost multiple times in each species.

HYBRIDIZATION AND INTROGRESSION IN NEW WORLD RED MANGROVES, RHIZOPHORA (RHIZOPHORACEAE)
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY, 97(6), 945–957.
author keywords: Central American Isthmus; evolutionary history; hybridiation; introgression; Rhizophora harrisonii; Rhizophora mangle; Rhizophora racemosa; Rhizophoraceae
TL;DR:
The data support ancient and persistent introgressive hybridization among new world Rhizophora and argue for a full revision of the systematic relationships of the group based on much finer morphological, ecological, and genetic analyses.

ButterflyBase: a platform for lepidopteran genomics
NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH, 36, D582–D587.
MeSH headings : Animals; Chromosome Mapping; Databases, Genetic; Expressed Sequence Tags; Genome, Insect; Genomics; Insect Proteins / chemistry; Insect Proteins / genetics; Internet; Lepidoptera / classification; Lepidoptera / genetics; Phylogeny; Proteomics; User-Computer Interface
TL;DR:
The ButterflyBase database supports many needs of the lepidopteran research community, including molecular marker development, orthologue prediction for deep phylogenetics, and detection of rapidly evolving proteins likely involved in host–pathogen or other evolutionary processes.

Convergent Evolution in the Genetic Basis of Mullerian Mimicry in Heliconius Butterflies
GENETICS, 180(3), 1567–1577.
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Biological / genetics; Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis; Animals; Biomimetics; Body Patterning; Butterflies / physiology; Chromosome Mapping; Chromosomes, Artificial, Bacterial; Crosses, Genetic; Evolution, Molecular; Genes, Insect; Genetic Drift; Genetic Linkage; Genetic Markers; Genetic Variation; Phenotype; Predatory Behavior; Selection, Genetic; Wings, Animal / anatomy & histology; Wings, Animal / physiology
TL;DR:
Comparative genetic mapping shows red wing color loci are in homologous regions of the genome of H. erato and H. melpomene and implies they evolved independently using somewhat different developmental routes, but are nonetheless regulated by the same switch locus.

TL;DR:
The difference in the apparent degree of natal homing behaviour among the different life-history stages of hawksbill turtles at Mona Island underscores the complexity of the species’ life‐history dynamics and highlights the need for both local and regional conservation efforts.

Highly conserved gene order and numerous novel repetitive elements in genomic regions linked to wing pattern variation in Heliconius butterflies
BMC GENOMICS, 9.
MeSH headings : Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis; Animals; Base Sequence; Butterflies / genetics; Chromosome Walking; Chromosomes, Artificial, Bacterial; Conserved Sequence; DNA / genetics; Gene Order; Genes, Insect; Genetic Linkage; Genetic Markers; Phenotype; Pigmentation / genetics; Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid; Sequence Analysis; Synteny; Wings, Animal
TL;DR:
A comparative analysis of genomic sequences linked to color pattern mimicry genes in Heliconius butterflies suggests that genome structure in macrolepidoptera might be very conserved, and shows that mapping and positional cloning efforts in different lepidopteran species can be reciprocally informative.
