Excited to share that my first paper for my masters thesis is out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Oviposition behavior is not affected by ultraviolet light in a butterfly with sexually‐dimorphic...

Our study focuses on the evolution of sexual dimorphism of UV vision in Heliconius butterflies. Under naturalistic light conditions, we experimentally altered UV-light availability using light...

#ecobhrv2024 #Behaviouralecology When your visual👀and olfactory senses👃give you contradicting information, which one would you trust? @borreroja from @LMU_Munchen is now presenting how two species of 🦋 made their choices and how this reveals differences in neural investment🧠

🦋 Un equipo internacional de científicos, de la Universidad de York y la Universidad de Harvard, que incluye a Nicol Rueda y Camilo Salazar por parte de nuestra @urosario, ha hecho un descubrimiento de un caso de especiación que se creía poco frecuente en la naturaleza.

A team led by evolutionary biologist @DickMerrill has identified the #gene that influences mate choice in #butterflies . A look into the complicated world of butterfly mating reveals surprising genetic correlations. @URosario @stri_panama lmu.de/en/newsroom/news-over…

How butterflies choose mates: gene controls preferences

In a first, LMU evolutionary biologists have identified a gene that influences visual preferences in tropical butterflies.

We also modelled how female butterflies perceived their hostplants.

Overall we found that UV availability does not influence the oviposition behaviour (As the title suggests 😅). Which leaves us with the question… what are Heliconius females using UV discrimination for 🧐?
