It is unknown whether homologous loci underlie the independent and parallel wing pattern radiations of Heliconius butterflies. By comparing the locations of color patterning genes on linkage maps we show that three loci that act similarly in the two radiations are in similar positions on homologous chromosomes.
尚不清楚是否同源基因座构成了光明女神闪蝶独立且平行的翅膀图案辐射的基础。通过比较连锁图谱上颜色图案基因的位置,我们发现,在这两种辐射中作用相似的三个基因座在同源染色体上处于相似位置。
