Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization and speciation

Richard J. Abbott, +38 more
TL;DR: A perspective on the context and evolutionary significance of hybridization during speciation is offered, highlighting issues of current interest and debate and suggesting that the Dobzhansky–Muller model of hybrid incompatibilities requires a broader interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Butterfly genome reveals promiscuous exchange of mimicry adaptations among species

Kanchon K. Dasmahapatra, +83 more
- 05 Jul 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is inferred that closely related Heliconius species exchange protective colour-pattern genes promiscuously, implying that hybridization has an important role in adaptive radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

doublesex is a mimicry supergene

TL;DR: It is shown that a single gene, doublesex, controls supergene mimicry in Papilio polytes, in contrast to the long-held view that supergenes are likely to be controlled by a tightly linked cluster of loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization reveals the evolving genomic architecture of speciation.

TL;DR: Comparing full genome sequences of 32 butterflies, representing five species from a hybridizing Heliconius butterfly community, to examine genome-wide patterns of introgression and infer how divergence evolves during the speciation process provides a uniquely comprehensive portrait of the evolving species boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA editing: a driving force for adaptive evolution?

TL;DR: It is proposed that higher organisms have evolved to systems with increasing RNA editing activity and, as a result, to more complex systems.
