Box 2 – Figure 1

A. Boechera stricta subspecies types. The East subspecies has smaller leaves with more trichomes. Photo credit: Cheng-Ruei Lee. B. Multiple QTLs were detected in the Bs1 inversion. The red, blue dashed and grey-dashed lines correspond to different composite traits obtained through discriminant function analysis. See Lee et al., 2017 for more details. The two black-dashed lines correspond to the position of the inversion breakpoints. Breakpoints are of the cut-and-paste type for the Bs1 inversion. Figure redrawn and modified with the permission of the authors. C. Heliconius numata aposematic morphs, involved in Müllerian mimicry rings with other butterflies. D. Aposematic morphs in H. numata are associated with adjacent inversions (spanning the genomic region indicated by P) on linkage group 15 (LG15), encompassing at least three loci (Yb, Sb and N) associated with mimetic color morphs in H. melpomene.
