New paper by @aleixpalahi.bsky.social et al in #molecularecology. They unravelled the history behind the establishment of multiple disjunct distributions in Vanessa butterflies, highlighting the importance of long-distance dispersal and introgression in the process.

PAPER ALERT! @jesperboman.bsky.social et al just published @journal-evo.bsky.social. Their work 'On the origin of an insular hybrid butterfly lineage'.
They came up with a #novel #method based on historical #recombination events (Fisher junctions) to understand this hybridisation event.

PAPER ALERT! Painted lady #Butterflies (Vanessa cardui) can fly long! They can even cross the ocean! Congrats for this great work @megansreich.bsky.social et al. !

Paper alert!
@JesperBoman et al bring empirical evidence for the idea that #chromosome number differences between taxa can contribute to #speciation!
