Natural selection and genetic diversity in the butterfly Heliconius melpomene

Simon Henry Martin, Markus Moest, Wiliam J Palmer, Camilo Salazar, W. Owen McMillan, Francis M Jiggins, Chris D Jiggins

This study analyzes genetic diversity and selection in Heliconius melpomene butterflies, finding that 31% of amino acid substitutions are adaptive and linked selection reduces diversity on longer chromosomes.

The evolution, diversity and host associations of rhabdoviruses

Ben Longdon, Gemma GR Murray, William J Palmer, Jonathan P Day, Darren J Parker, John J Welch, Darren J Obbard, Francis M Jiggins

This study identifies 32 new rhabdoviruses, reconstructs their phylogeny, and predicts host associations, finding rare host switches and suggesting a single origin for plant and arthropod-borne vertebrate viruses.
