Excited that my 2nd MSc paper is out in @journal-evo.bsky.social 🦋🎉 doi.org/10.1093/evol...
We find Heliconius’ impressive visual memory is not due to increased visual-structure investment over that of their outgroup relatives, but instead consistent with specialisation of the central circuitry.

#Heliconius have elongated lives and excellent memory, but do they have excellent memory across their elongated lives? Find out now!*
Featuring learning and memory assays in 330 butterflies, and an absolute pig of an experiment to do.
