A shared genetic basis of mimicry across swallowtail butterflies points to ancestral co-option of doublesex

Polymorphic mimicry in Papilio swallowtail butterflies is thought to have had multiple independent origins. Here, the authors show that the gene doublesex controls mimicry across multiple species, but with distinct alleles that may have originated from an ancestral polymorphism.
