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.

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
Krushnamegh Kunte,Wei Zhang,Ayşe Tenger-Trolander,Daniela H. Palmer,Arnaud Martin,Robert D. Reed,Sean P. Mullen,Marcus R. Kronforst +7 more
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.
