Signatures of selection in loci governing major colour patterns in Heliconius butterflies and related species

BACKGROUND: Protein-coding change is one possible genetic mechanism underlying the evolution of adaptive wing colour pattern variation in Heliconius butterflies. Here we determine whether 38 putative genes within two major Heliconius patterning loci, HmYb and HmB, show evidence of positive selection...
