Selection on male sex pheromone composition contributes to butterfly reproductive isolation.
Selection can facilitate diversification by inducing character displacement in mate choice traits that reduce the probability of maladaptive mating between lineages. Although reproductive character displacement (RCD) has been demonstrated in two-taxa case studies, the frequency of this process in nature is still debated. Moreover, studies have focused primarily on visual and acoustic traits, de...
متن کاملDifferentiation in putative male sex pheromone components across and within populations of the African butterfly Bicyclus anynana as a potential driver of reproductive isolation
Sexual traits are often the most divergent characters among closely related species, suggesting an important role of sexual traits in speciation. However, to prove this, we need to show that sexual trait differences accumulate before or during the speciation process, rather than being a consequence of it. Here, we contrast patterns of divergence among putative male sex pheromone (pMSP) composit...
متن کاملMale sex pheromone components in the butterfly Heliconius
10 Sex specific pheromones are known to play an important role in butterfly courtship, and may 11 influence both individual reproductive success and reproductive isolation between species. 12 Extensive ecological, behavioural and genetic studies of Heliconius butterflies have made a 13 substantial contribution to our understanding of speciation. However, although long suspected 14 to play an im...
متن کاملThe Male Sex Pheromone of the Butterfly Bicyclus anynana: Towards an Evolutionary Analysis
BACKGROUND Female sex pheromones attracting mating partners over long distances are a major determinant of reproductive isolation and speciation in Lepidoptera. Males can also produce sex pheromones but their study, particularly in butterflies, has received little attention. A detailed comparison of sex pheromones in male butterflies with those of female moths would reveal patterns of conservat...
متن کاملMale sex pheromone components in Heliconius butterflies released by the androconia affect female choice
Sex-specific pheromones are known to play an important role in butterfly courtship, and may influence both individual reproductive success and reproductive isolation between species. Extensive ecological, behavioural and genetic studies of Heliconius butterflies have made a substantial contribution to our understanding of speciation. Male pheromones, although long suspected to play an important...
