#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 https://t.co/X3dDZdXeZT

[heliconiuspapers @heli_papers]

Adaptive divergence in the eyes of Heliconius butterflies likely contributes to pre- and post mating isolation https://t.co/7E34iVNCCC

[José Borrero @borreroja]

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 🧐?

We also modelled how female butterflies perceived their hostplants.
