ABSTRACT

It is unknown whether homologous loci underlie the independent and parallel wing pattern radiations of Heliconius butterflies. By comparing the locations of color patterning genes on linkage maps we show that three loci that act similarly in the two radiations are in similar positions on homologous chromosomes.

WHEN different taxa independently evolve the same trait, do they use the same genes to do it? Available data suggest that the answer is "sometimes." Multiple stu...
