Repeated genetic adaptation to high altitude in two tropical butterflies

G. Montejo-Kovacevich, J. I. Meier, C. N. Bacquet, I. A. Warren, Y. F. Chan, M. Kucka, C. Salazar, N. Rueda, S. H. Montgomery, W. O. McMillan, K. M. Kozak, N. J. Nadeau, S. H. Martin, C. D. Jiggins

This study identifies genetic regions under selection in two tropical butterflies adapted to high altitude, showing that standing variation and introgression from high-altitude specialists contribute to parallel adaptation.

Genomics of altitude-associated wing shape in two tropical butterflies

G. Montejo-Kovacevich, P. A. Salazar, S. H. Smith, K. Gavilanes, C. N. Bacquet, Y. F. Chan, C. D. Jiggins, J. I. Meier, N. J. Nadeau

This study investigates the genomic basis of altitude-associated wing shape differences in two Heliconius butterfly species, finding a polygenic basis and identifying candidate genes involved in wing morphogenesis.

Movement of transposable elements contributes to cichlid diversity

K. L. Carleton, M. Conte, M. Malinsky, S. P. Nandamuri, B. A. Sandkam, J. I. Meier, S. Mwaiko, O. Seehausen, T. D. Kocher

The paper identifies transposable element (TE)-induced indels as causative variants for visual sensitivity shifts in Lake Malawi cichlids, linking TE mobility to phenotypic diversity.

Microclimate buffering and thermal tolerance across elevations in a tropical butterfly

G. Montejo-Kovacevich, S. H. Martin, J. I. Meier, C. N. Bacquet, M. Monllor, C. D. Jiggins, N. J. Nadeau

This study examines microclimate buffering and thermal tolerance in tropical butterflies across elevations, finding that high-elevation populations show reduced heat tolerance but plasticity in common-garden conditions.

Adaptive introgression across semipermeable species boundaries between local Helicoverpa zea and invasive Helicoverpa armigera moths

W. A. Valencia-Montoya, S. Elfekih, H. L. North, J. I. Meier, I. A. Warren, W. T. Tay, K. H. J. Gordon, A. Specht, S. V. Paula-Moraes, R. Rane, T. K. Walsh, C. D. Jiggins

The paper examines hybridization and introgression between invasive Helicoverpa armigera and native H. zea moths in Brazil, finding widespread gene flow but limited species boundary loss except for a specific insecticide-resistance region.

A dense linkage map of Lake Victoria cichlids improved the Pundamilia genome assembly and revealed a major QTL for sex-determination

P. G. D. Feulner, J. Schwarzer, M. P. Haesler, J. I. Meier, O. Seehausen

The paper constructs a high-resolution genetic linkage map for Lake Victoria cichlids, improves the genome assembly, and identifies a major QTL for sex determination.
