Read more »Congratulations to Tim Thurman whose paper examining Heliconius erato hybrid zone movement across Panama was recently published in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology. This is the third time the hybrid zone has been examined since it’s discovery approximately 30 years ago and shows the slowed continuation of a westward movement. Factors contributing to the movement are unclear, but deforestation is
Read more »A paper based on research at the Heliconius Insectaries has confirmed that the butterflies use ultraviolet cues to promote effective mating behavior while maintaining the advantages of mimicry to ward off predators.

Read more »Here at the Heliconius Insectaries, we aim to provide an intellectual and practical working environment for understanding the origins of biological diversity. Researchers are provided with exceptional opportunities to examine phenotypic variation, speciation, and links between the two utilizing stocks of Heliconius butterflies and world-class facilities.
