Adaptive introgression of mimicry loci is therefore a plausible explanation for parallel evolution of multiple mimetic patterns in the melpomene–silvaniform clade.
因此,拟态位点的适应性基因渗入为诗神袖蝶–羽衣袖蝶分支间不同拟态模式的平行进化提供了合理解释。
Geographic mosaics of multiple colour-pattern RACES, such as in Heliconius melpomene (Fig. 1), converge to similar mosaics in other species, and this led to the hypothesis of mimicry2.
