Tracing the origin and evolution of supergene mimicry in butterflies

Wing pattern mimicry in the butterfly Papilio polytes is controlled by a single Mendelian locus, the mimicry supergene doublesex. Here, Zhang and colleagues reconstruct the complex evolutionary history of the doublesex supergene and mimicry in the Papilio polytes species group.
