Multiple axes of visual system diversity in Ithomiini, an ecologically diverse tribe of mimetic butterflies

J. B. Wainwright, C. Schofield, M. Conway, D. Phillips, E. Martin-Silverstone, E. A. Brodrick, F. Cicconardi, M. J. How, N. W. Roberts, S. Montgomery

The paper examines visual system variation in four Ithomiini butterfly species, finding relaxed selection on opsins, interspecific physiological shifts, and sexual dimorphism in visual structures.

Chromosome fusion affects genetic diversity and evolutionary turnover of functional loci, but consistently depends on chromosome size

F. Cicconardi, J. J. Lewis, S. H. Martin, R. D. Reed, C. G. Danko, S. H. Montgomery

This study examines how chromosome fusions in Heliconius butterflies affect genetic diversity and functional locus turnover, showing size-dependent evolutionary impacts.
