~Thegeneric taxonomyof the species discussed is: Agraulis (one sp. vanillae), Dione (juno
plus 2 other spp.), Dryas(one sp. Julia), Dryadula(one sp. phaetusa) and Heliconius (all other
spp.), divided into 4 subgenera, the small, less specialised Eueides, the large (both physically
and numerically) Heliconius, and two smaller groups, Laparus (one sp. doris) and Neruda
(aoede plus 2 other spp.) (20, 104). The highly divergent genus Philaethria maybe more
closely related to the Cethosia group of tropical Asia.

growth of their host plants (8, 101); are thought to form quite accurate
search images for the shapes of the host plant leaves (54); and showexten-
sive and (to the beginner) bewilderingly accurate mimicryof each other and
of other butterflies, which cuts right across taxonomicgroupings (23, 97,
104).
The other subgenera have developed these specializations to a lesser
degree: Eueides and the open-country genus Dryadula roost communally
(73, 102) but use older parts of their host plants and feed not on pollen but
on bird droppings (19, 102).
Butterfly-Plant Relationships
The specialized features of Heliconius form an intricately interlocking set
of adaptations that in the course of evolution can be expected to enhance
one another, and to enhance and be enhanced by the evolutionary changes
they induce in the other species with which Heliconius interacts in the
ecosystem(Figure 1). It is ditticult to knowwhereto begin in describing this
kind of ongoingchicken and egg (or dancer and dance) situation. The fact
that no heliconiine feeds on any foodplant outside the Passifloraceae (pas-
sion flowers) is a strong reason for believing that the start of it all was the
adaptation of someancestral butterfly to feeding on these plants, probably
by developing a defense against their alkaloids and cyanogenic glycosides
(14). The considerable success and adaptive radiation of the passion vines
(up to 500 neotropical species) and the relative lack of competition from
other herbivores---only some flea-beetles, a family of moths, and some
coreid bugs (which can however inflict severe damageto the parts of the
plants used by Heliconius) have successfully cracked the plant defenses (59)
--presented the heliconiines with a vast ecological opportunity (8). But
the sametime, to exploit this niche, the heliconiines had to solve a series
of evolutionary problemsset by the physical environmentof the rain forest
and by the further defenses developed by the host plants.
The rain forest itself presents a physically intricate environmentwith low
insolation and a great diversity of potential predators. The response of the

increase of black markingsat the expense of other colors (36). This process
has been repeated by the distasteful North Americancheckerspot, Euphy-
dryas phaeton, which with its brilliant red and yellow spots on a black
ground looks very like a Heliconius (11, 101) and is also a dorsal basket.
The greater elongation of heliconiine wings (which allows more etiicienlt
gliding) and the ability to fly using conventional flight [whichmost butter.-
flies lack (44)] as well as a poweredupstroke, permit precise control o!r
hovering, climbing vertically, and even flying backwards. This gives the
butterflies a maneuverability used to approach both host plants and roosts,;
(below) as well as to thread the intricately laced creepers in secondgrowth.
However,despite the rapid escape flight they make possible, such flight
characteristics must also expose the heliconiines to a greater risk of preda-
tion. The distastefulness which, along with warning colors counters this
problem, is effective against birds (13, 15, 103) and lizards (12). This

tis, Apatura.] The Anguriaplants are, like the passion vines, inconspicuous
but persistent in the production of flowers at particular sites for monthson
end. Feeding on them, the butterflies regularly work learned trap-lines
within their homeranges (41, 54). They also exhibit the special behavior
needed to collect the pollen in a cake on the tongue and then digest it
externally (53). Heliconius are the chief pollinators of Anguria, which are
dioecious and show a markedly male-skewedsex ratio. (Male flowers are
presumablyselected for ever-increasing pollen production and females for
mimicry of the males.) The butterfly and the plant are thus locked in

Sociobiology
The modification of dourtship behavior into a ritual, elaborate but spatially
restricted whencomparedwith the long straight chase of the open country
Agraulis (32, 33, 96, 99), can also be seen as appropriate to a butterfly with
a learned homerange in a physically complexhabitat. (Observations on the
courtship of several species unfortunately remain unpublished.) Sexual se-
lection must have favored males who rememberedthe positions of host
plants and of mature female pupae. The resulting tendency to mate with
newly eclosed females has becomemodified, in the erato-charitonia group,
into mating with the pupa before eclosion (54).
Longevity, homeranges, and landmarklearning, generated and sustained
by the relation of the butterflies with the two plants, make possible the
formation of communalroosts (5, 32, 37, 65, 98, 102, 120) to which the
butterflies homerepeatedly, though not with absolute regularity (65, 98,
119), at night. In Heliconius (Heliconius) roosts are usually on dried creep-
ers hanging from branches, an excellent protection against night crawlers.
In short-lived butterflies lacking a learned territory, such roosts could only
be formed with the help of pheromones.
The small size of the breeding populations, restricted homeranges, and
broadly overlapping generations, allowing a butterfly to fly with several
generations of its descendants, are expected to lead to moderately high
levels of kinship within populations and hence to the evolution of cooper-
ative and altruistic behavior through kin selection (4, 99). The communal
roosts, which involve visual signalling between the butterflies (J. L. B.
Mallett & D. A. Jackson, unpublished), presumably give added protection
by aggregating individuals within the homeranges of a small number of
educable predators compared with the number that would require educa-
tion if the butterflies were dispersed. Such roosting populations maybe

Theuse of an olfactory chastity belt, a pheromone the maleplaces on the

The pheromoneis advantageousto the female (whoshould not waste time

As Fisher suggested, the evolution of warningcolor and distastefulness
in the groupmayhavebeenproduced,or at least enhanced,by kin selection,
for the individualsacrificed in educatinga predatorbenefits not itself but

betweenother adaptations (60)? All is perhaps not yet for the best in this
world: Agraulis in California, where both they and their food plants have
lived for less than a century, prefer to oviposit on a Passiflora that does not
produce optimumgrowth and survival of their larvae (30, 31).
Of course, one sound reason for accepting a theory like neoDarwinism
is its great power of explanation and prediction when applied to such
intricate ecological systems as this one, but to meet this justified challenge

out most of its yellow marks in an area where it differs from erato only by
those marks. In other populations it flies with races of erato from whichit
differs so extensively in color and pattern that several mutations wouldbe
required, and these it does not mimic (25). The mutation, it is important
to note, does not have to produce perfect mimicry, but only mimicry that
is accurate enough to provide an advantage over its original allele (the
accuracy required decreasing as the difference in protection betweenthe two
species increases). Oncethis first phase (the spread of a newmutation)
largely completed, then the two species, which nowresemble each other
fairly closely, will be subjected to selection for the gradual convergencethat
will render the mimicry even more accurate. Thus in this second phase,
modifier genes affecting the expression of the initial major mutation witl
becomeestablished in the population (83).
Wehave therefore proposed (83) that the racial divergence within melpo-
mene and erato has been produced by differences in the abundance (or
degree of protection) of different mimicryrings in different refuges, with the
species comingto mimic whichever abundant, protected species was within
reach by a single mutation (probably in most cases ithomiine and pierine
butterflies). In accord with this, our extensive genetic experiments show
that the races differ by a limited numberof mutations of comparativelylarge
effect (Table 1). In accord with the two-phasetheory, there are also consid-
erable minor gene differences affecting the expression of the major genes,
and even their dominance and epistatic relations. Although major muta-

tions are involved, mimicryhas not arisen, perfect fromthe start, by means
of a hopeful monster.
It has been pointed out that evolution of this kind does not necessarily
require isolation in refuges. Changesin butterfly abundance within a contin-
uous forest could also provokethe capture of different populationsof a
species by different mimicryrings, and hence the parapatric formationof
races (7, 45, 114). As the selective processes involved in allopatdc and
parapatricrace formationare the same,the questionis really one of history:

Race Formation and Speciation
Wetend to think of speciation as the preludeto adaptiveradiation, whether
gradual or punctuated(69, 89). In I-leliconius, however,a significant
amountof adaptive radiation occurs before speciation, and there is every
reasonto believe that the genetic changesin color pattern betweenspecies
are of the sametype as the genetic changesbetweenraces, and indeed as
the mutations that appear in captive populations. The pattern of mel-

that is unsuitable for ecological reasons (e.g. high larval mortality inflicted
by competitors), or (b) the butterfly has not yet evolved the ability
respond to a suitable host, or () the plants have escaped the attentions
the butterfly by ceasing to produce the compoundsthat stimulate oviposi-
tion. In the subtropical parts of Brasil, the Heliconius species are muchless
restricted in their choice of plants, possibly because there is little inter-
specific competition during the seasonal surge of growth of Pass(flora (6).
The effects of the limitation placed on Heliconius diversity by competitive
exclusion and biochemical restriction on their host plants exert long-term
control on the evolutionary radiation of the butterflies: The correlation
between the taxonomic subgroups of the butterflies and the plants [Table
3 in (23)] can easily be interpreted as indicating the adaptive radiation
groups of butterflies from ancestors adapted to the plant defenses of the
ancestral species of the groups of Passifiora (8). This is a microcosmic
confirmation of the general herbivore-plant coevolution hypothesis (42).
It wouldbe amusingto think of this as an interlocked systemlike the one
in Figure 1, with the butterflies driving the adaptive radiation of the plants.
The additional defenses against Heliconius, which have all been moreor less
cracked by one or more Heliconius species, show that the butterflies and
plants are locked in an evolutionary arms race (35). Such defenses include
(52, 54, 56-58) bizarre diversification of leaf shape(to avoid shape-recogni-
tion by ovipositing females); leaf mimicryOf other plants; trichomes that
catch and bleed younglarvae to death; mimicsof butterfly eggs that deter
the females of solitary species; deciduous leaves and fake tendrils that
jettison eggs and larvae (58) (M. C. Singer, unpublished); and additional
toxic chemicals (P serratifolia can poison/t, isabella larvae). However,
adaptation does not necessarily involve cladogenic speciation. Therefore it
does not necessarily follow that the diversification (as distinct from evolu-
tion) of the Passiflora is being generated by the butterflies.
