Evolutionary and ecological processes influencing chemical defense variation in an aposematic and mimetic Heliconius butterfly

Chemical defences against predators underlie the evolution of aposematic coloration and mimicry, which are classic examples of adaptive evolution. Surprisingly little is known about the roles of ecological and evolutionary processes maintaining defence variation, and how they may feedback to shape t...
