Fig. 2.

The cortex region controls wing color pattern variation across Lepidoptera. Syntenic relationships near PclyML in Bombyx mori (Bombycidae) and Heliconius melpomene (Nymphalidae). Color patterning loci, derived from fine mapping experiments or GWA, are underlined in representative reference genomes. Divergence times taken from Wahlberg et al. (2013) are shown to the left. Gene information is found in supplementary table S2, Supplementary Material online. Bbet carbonaria: Biston betularia industrial melanization (van’t Hof et al. 2016); Bmor Ws and Bm: B. mori Wing Spot and Black Moth mutations (Ito et al. 2016); PclyML: Papilio clytia mimicry locus (here); Hnum P: Heliconius numata supergene P, showing P₁ and P₂ inversions (Joron et al. 2011); Hmel Yb and Sb: H. melpomene melanic shutters (Ferguson et al. 2010); Hera Cr: Heliconius erato Yb and Sb (Counterman et al. 2010).
