[HTML][HTML] Male sex pheromone components in Heliconius butterflies released by the androconia affect female choice

K Darragh, S Vanjari, F Mann, MF Gonzalez-Rojas… - PeerJ, 2017 - peerj.com
Sex-specific pheromones are known to play an important role in butterfly courtship, and may
influence both individual reproductive success and reproductive isolation between species. …

[HTML][HTML] A novel terpene synthase controls differences in anti-aphrodisiac pheromone production between closely related Heliconius butterflies

K Darragh, A Orteu, D Black, KJRP Byers… - PLoS …, 2021 - journals.plos.org
Plants and insects often use the same compounds for chemical communication, but not
much is known about the genetics of convergent evolution of chemical signals. The terpene (E)-β-…

Chemical signals act as the main reproductive barrier between sister and mimetic Heliconius butterflies
