Two rainforest butterflies have evolved to look more alike, likely to confuse shared predators. But why don’t they get confused themselves?
To avoid mating with the wrong species, they’ve cleverly evolved distinct scents.

Very excited to release our new paper !
We characterized the thermal and temporal niches of a community of closely related Morpho butterflies, and found very significant ties between micro-habitat and thermal traits.

Vertical and temporal niche partitioning in Amazonian butterflies: implications for the evolution of thermal tolerance
Closely related species living in sympatry are often partitioned into divergent ecological niches. Such specialization can be enabled by the evolution of divergent traits enhancing adaptation to diff...

Really happy to share our new paper ! We characterized the Morpho butterfly visual system, and found a link between opsin evolution, wing coloration and light habitat. We also highlight correlated evolution between amino acids from different opsin genes at a molecular scale !
