Butterfly eyespots evolved via cooption of an ancestral gene-regulatory network that also patterns antennae, legs, and wings
SN Murugesan, H Connahs… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Butterfly eyespots are beautiful novel traits with an unknown developmental origin. Here we
show that eyespots likely originated via cooption of parts of an ancestral appendage gene …

Single master regulatory gene coordinates the evolution and development of butterfly color and iridescence
The optix gene has been implicated in butterfly wing pattern adaptation by genetic
association, map**, and expression studies. The actual developmental function of this …

Spatial and temporal regulation of Wnt signaling pathway members in the development of butterfly wing patterns
Wnt signaling members are involved in the differentiation of cells associated with eyespot
and band color patterns on the wings of butterflies, but the identity and spatio-temporal …

Genome editing in butterflies reveals that spalt promotes and Distal-less represses eyespot colour patterns
Butterfly eyespot colour patterns are a key example of how a novel trait can appear in
association with the co-option of developmental patterning genes. Little is known, however …

[HTML][HTML] Wnt signaling underlies evolution and development of the butterfly wing pattern symmetry systems
Most butterfly wing patterns are proposed to be derived from a set of conserved pattern
elements known as symmetry systems. Symmetry systems are so-named because they are …

Interplay between developmental flexibility and determinism in the evolution of mimetic Heliconius wing patterns
To what extent can we predict how evolution occurs? Do genetic architectures and
developmental processes canalize the evolution of similar outcomes in a predictable …
