Seasonal polyphenism of wing colors and its influence on sulphur butterfly diversification

J. Fenner, V. Ficarrotta, A. Colombara, H. Smith, K. Evans, R. C. Range, B. A. Counterman

This study shows seasonal polyphenism in Zerene cesonia butterflies driven by temperature and photoperiod, with genetic links to color plasticity and implications for speciation in sulphur butterflies.

A genetic switch for male UV-iridescence in an incipient species pair of sulphur butterflies

V. Ficarrotta, J. J. Hanly, L. S. Loh, C. M. Francescutti, A. Ren, K. Tunström, C. W. Wheat, A. H. Porter, B. A. Counterman, A. Martin

This study identifies a genetic switch on the Z chromosome that controls male UV-iridescence in two incipient butterfly species, contributing to reproductive isolation.

A complex interplay between balancing selection and introgression maintains a genus-wide alternative life-history strategy.

k. tunström, A. Woronik, J. J. Hanly, P. Rastas, A. Chichvarkhin, A. D. Warren, A. Kawahara, S. D. Schoville, V. Ficarrotta, A. H. Porter, W. B. Watt, A. Martin, C. W. Wheat

The paper identifies the genetic basis of an alternative life-history strategy in butterflies and shows it originated once, maintained by balancing selection and introgression across species.
