Pollen-feeding delays reproductive senescence and maintains toxicity of Heliconius erato

E. C. Pinheiro de Castro, J. McPherson, G. Julian…·C. Jiggins

This study shows that pollen-feeding in Heliconius erato butterflies delays reproductive senescence, maintains female toxicity, and supports fertility, but not offspring defenses.

Sequestration and functional diversification of cyanogenic glucosides in the life cycle of Heliconius melpomene

E. C. Pinheiro de Castro, R. Demirtas, A. Orteu…·S. Bak

This study investigates how Heliconius melpomene larvae sequester and utilize cyanogenic glucosides from Passiflora plants, revealing differences in sequestration ability and biosynthesis across developmental stages.
