Transposable element insertions are associated with Batesian mimicry in the pantropical butterfly Hypolimnas misippus

A. Orteu, M. Kucka, E. Katili, C. Ngumbao, I. J. Gordon, I. Ng'iru, G. Talavera, I. A. Warren, S. Collins, R. H. ffrench-Constant, D. J. Martins, Y. F. Chan, C. D. Jiggins, S. H. Martin

This study identifies transposable element insertions at the M locus in Hypolimnas misippus that drive adaptive atavism for Batesian mimicry of Danaus chrysippus.

Back to the Meadow Brown: eyespot variation and field temperature in a classic butterfly polymorphism

R. H. ffrench-Constant, M. Rhodes, D. A. S. Smith, S. Mowbray, J. J. Bennie

The paper shows that eyespot variation in the Meadow Brown butterfly is correlated with field temperature during development, explaining seasonal changes in spotting patterns.

Whole-chromosome hitchhiking driven by a male-killing endosymbiont

S. H. Martin, K. S. Singh, I. J. Gordon, K. S. Omufwoko, S. Collins, I. A. Warren, H. Munby, O. Brattström, W. Traut, D. J. Martins, D. A. S. Smith, C. D. Jiggins, C. Bass, R. H. ffrench-Constant

The paper investigates the origin and spread of a neo-W chromosome in Danaus chrysippus, showing it hitchhiked with a male-killing Spiroplasma endosymbiont due to suppressed recombination.
