Clustering of loci controlling species differences in male chemical bouquets of sympatric Heliconius butterflies

K. J. R. P. Byers, K. Darragh, S. Fernanda Garza, D. Abondano Almeida, I. A. Warren, P. M. A. Rastas, R. M. Merrill, S. Schulz, W. O. McMillan, C. D. Jiggins

The paper investigates the genetic architecture of male pheromone compound production in Heliconius butterflies, finding significant QTL clustering on specific chromosomes.

A major locus controls a biologically active pheromone component in Heliconius melpomene

K. J. R. P. Byers, K. Darragh, J. Musgrove, D. Abondano Almeida, S. Fernanda Garza, I. A. Warren, P. Rastas, M. Kucka, Y. F. Chan, R. M. Merrill, S. Schulz, W. O. McMillan, C. D. Jiggins

This study identifies a major genetic locus controlling octadecanal production in Heliconius melpomene, a biologically active pheromone component involved in mate choice.

A novel terpene synthase produces an anti-aphrodisiac pheromone in the butterfly Heliconius melpomene

K. Darragh, A. Orteu, K. J. R. P. Byers, D. Szczerbowski, I. A. Warren, P. Rastas, A. L. Pinharanda, J. Davey, S. F. Garza, D. Abondano Almeida, R. M. Merrill, W. O. McMillan, S. Schulz, C. D. Jiggins

The paper identifies a novel terpene synthase in Heliconius melpomene that synthesizes (E)-β-ocimene, an anti-aphrodisiac pheromone, showing it evolved independently from plant and other insect TPSs.
