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

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

Wing patterning in Heliconius butterflies is a longstanding example of both Müllerian mimicry and phenotypic radiation under strong natural selection. The loci controlling such patterns are "hotspots" for adaptive evolution with great allelic diversity across different species in the genus...
