So very excited for the magnum opus of my #PhD to finally be out in @pnas.org. 🎉🎉 We demosntrate that mutualistic co-mimicking tropical butterflies not only converge in light microhabitat but, as a consequence, have also converged in visual system morphology! 1/n😀

How do butterflies forewings differ from hindwings in patterns and shape? Rare spontaneous mutants show patches of forewing transformed into hindwing identities? How is that possible?

Does anyone have Gambusia affinis males and females in lab and the ability to send us morphometric pictures of 5 of each? We need some outgroup measurements for revisions of a paper. Would appreciate any leads! 🙏
