Genomic islands of divergence in hybridizing Heliconius butterflies identified by large-scale targeted sequencing

Abstract: Heliconius butterflies represent a recent radiation of species, in which wing pattern divergence has been implicated in speciation. Several loci that control wing pattern phenotypes have been mapped and two were identified through sequencing. These same gene regions play a role in adaptation across the whole Heliconius radiation. Previous studies of population genetic patterns at these regions have sequenced small amplicons. Here, we use targeted next-generation sequence capture to survey patterns of divergenc… Show more

“…Elucidating the specific targets of divergent selection in the first place, and distinguishing them from neutral regions that simply hitchhike to divergence, is a difficult task. The focused sequencing of gene regions implicated in colour-pattern diversification of Heliconius butterflies demonstrates how steps in the direction towards finding the specific targets of selection can be made [32]. Once the specific targets of selection are determined, work can then focus on the consequences for neutral regions linked and unlinked to the selected ones.…”

“…Specifically, there are some 50 migrants per generation (Nem) in populations found in the same 17 locality and ~5-10 Nem in populations separated by 1-10 kilometres (km) 13,39 . As in most other 18 systems 1,2 , the dynamics of speciation from its onset to end are unresolved.…”
