DOI: 10.1038/s41437-018-0180-0
Abstract: Unravelling the genetic basis of adaptive traits is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Doing so informs our understanding of evolution towards an adaptive optimum, the distribution of locus effect sizes, and the influence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.161002
Abstract: The evolution of wing pattern in Lepidoptera is a popular area of inquiry but few studies have examined microlepidoptera, with fewer still focusing on intraspecific variation. The tineid genus Moerarchis Durrant, 1914 includes two species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aen.12299
Abstract: Euploea alcathoe (Godart, [1819]) (Danainae: Danaini) comprises a taxonomic complex, with recent authors recognising one or two species and numerous subspecies throughout its relatively small geographical range. We determined the taxonomic status of populations from… read more here.

Convergence in sympatry: Evolution of blue‐banded wing pattern in Morpho butterflies

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13726
Abstract: Species interactions such as mimicry can promote trait convergence but disentangling this effect from those of shared ecology, evolutionary history, and niche conservatism is often challenging. Here by focusing on wing colour pattern variation within… read more here.
