Enhanced long-term memory and increased mushroom body plasticity in Heliconius butterflies

F. J. Young, A. Alcalde, L. Melo-Florez, A. Couto, J. Foley, M. Monllor, W. O. McMillan, S. H. Montgomery

This study shows Heliconius butterflies have enhanced long-term memory and greater mushroom body plasticity compared to related species, linked to synaptic changes and developmental responses to learning.

Patterns of host plant use do not explain mushroom body expansion in Heliconiini butterflies

F. J. YOUNG, M. Monllor, W. O. McMillan, S. H. Montgomery

The paper tests if host plant morphology drives mushroom body size in Heliconiini butterflies and finds no significant association.

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.
