In a first, evolutionary biologists have identified a gene that influences visual preferences in tropical butterflies
Tropical Heliconius butterflies are well known for the bright color patterns on their wings. These striking color patterns not only scare off predators—the butterflies are poisonous and are distasteful to birds—but are also important signals during mate selection.

If you work on evolutionary networks (ancestral recombination graphs, #admixture graphs, #phylogenetic networks), please submit an abstract to our symposium on "Networks in population genetics and phylogenetics: Theory, methods, and applications". It will be part of #Evol2024 in Montreal, July 26-30: https://www.evolutionmeetings.org

PLOS BiologyHybridizing #species are usually maintained by genome-wide selection against #introgression or by selection on a few “genomic islands.” @yanivbrandvain & Shelley Sianta explore #PLOSBiology study which finds a new pattern – 60 SNPs across the #genome differentiate #Penstemon species with different #pollinators.

A few essential genetic loci distinguish Penstemon species with flowers adapted to pollination by bees or hummingbirds
A genomic study of 229 individuals from a Penstemon species complex that includes both bee and hummingbird pollination syndromes reveals that although genome-wide differentiation between species is minimal, about 20 "species-diagnostic loci," with fixed differences between syndromes, are sprinkled throughout the genome in high recombination regions.
