Ancient inversion polymorphisms are locally adaptive in a widespread butterfly species

This study identifies ancient chromosomal inversions in the zebra longwing butterfly that are associated with local adaptation to environmental stressors.

Genomics of Neotropical biodiversity indicators: two butterfly radiations with rampant chromosomal rearrangements and hybridisation

This study examines two Neotropical butterfly radiations, revealing high rates of hybridization and chromosomal rearrangements as drivers of diversification.

Temperature-dependent and sex-specific phenotypic plasticity in Heliconius charithonia

This study investigates temperature-dependent and sex-specific phenotypic plasticity in Heliconius charithonia, finding that warm conditions induce rusty scales in females and a sexually dimorphic response affecting developmental traits.

Synteny-based genome assembly for 16 species of Heliconius butterflies, and an assessment of structural variation across the genus

The paper improves genome assemblies for 16 Heliconius butterfly species using reference genomes and identifies structural variations between clades.
