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

Fletcher J. Young, Amaia Alcalde Anton, Lina Melo‐Flórez…·Stephen 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.

Divergent warning patterns influence male and female mating behaviours in a tropical butterfly

Chi‐Yun Kuo, Lina Melo‐Flórez, Andrea Aragón…·Richard M. Merrill

The paper examines how divergent warning coloration patterns influence mating behaviors in male and female Heliconius butterflies, finding that both sexes prefer conspecific coloration but only male coloration affects mating success.
