European butterflies have been studied intensely by scientists and naturalists for centuries. It is therefore with some surprise that we wish to report the discovery of a European hybrid lineage of butterflies that has persisted for more than 50,000 years. (THREAD)

Speciation without gene‐flow in hybridizing deer

Under the ecological speciation model, divergent selection acts on ecological differences between populations, gradually creating barriers to gene flow and ultimately leading to reproductive isolat...

New preprint! Using >200 chromosomal genomes, we reconstruct the chromosomes of the ancestral Lepidopteran and show that for over 250 million years of evolution, butterfly and moth genomes have largely been shaped by fusions involving small autosomes and the sex chromosome 🦋🧬

Chromosome Fissions and Fusions Act as Barriers to Gene Flow between Brenthis Fritillary Butterflies

Abstract. Chromosome rearrangements are thought to promote reproductive isolation between incipient species. However, it is unclear how often, and under wh
