Really excited to see @borreroja.bsky.social’s tour de force exploring the behavioural consequences of coordinated visual adaptations in *Heliconius*, and how these may break down in hybrids, out in the world. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

¡Contento de compartir nuestro nuevo artículo sobre el forrajeo de polen en Heliconius himera en @behavecol.bsky.social! 🦋🌼 Exploramos cómo hembras y muchos de H. himera difieren en el forrajeo de polen y rasgos sensoriales. 1/6🧵👇https://academic.oup.com/beheco/article/37/3/arag014/8490681

Excited to share our new paper on pollen foraging in Heliconius himera @behavecol.bsky.social! 🦋🌼 academic.oup.com/beheco/artic... We explored how female and male H. himera differ in pollen foraging & sensory traits. 1/6🧵👇

New paper out! A nice collaboration. We explore how olfactory brain structures and receptors evolved across this remarkable group, Heliconiini butterflies.

Very interesting work from @borreroja.bsky.social on the unique foraging behaviours of #Heliconius!

José Borrero from Richard Merrill's lab studies how the visual acuity changes with age in different species of Heliconius butterflies and how it is related to brain morphology and neurogenesis. #dzg2025 @borreroja.bsky.social @dickmerrill.bsky.social

@borreroja.bsky.social shows how ecological divergence & post-eclosion brain dev shape visual performance in Heliconius butterflies. Speciation often related to transitions closed /open forest #ESEB2025 @tibbe-evolneuro.bsky.social @ebablab.bsky.social @alealisousa.bsky.social @r3rt0.bsky.social

🚨Anyone want a job?🚨 We have two #postdocs up for grabs! 🧪 - cell developmental biology/#evodevo/#neuroevodevo - bioinformatics and molecular biology Both working on brain evolution in Heliconiini butterflies Details below! Please repost 🙏 1/n

Just over a week left to apply for this. Please get the word out there and tell your students :)

Really happy to share our new preprint on the central complex of Heliconiini butterflies www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... Check it out! @neuroethology.org @brainevolutionnews.bsky.social @prelights.bsky.social @tibbe-evolneuro.bsky.social #brainevolution #heliconius #centralcomplex

We are excited to announce that the winner of this year’s #BiologyLetters #ECR Competition is Jose Borrero. Read "Weighting of sensory cues reflect changing patterns of visual investment during ecological divergence in Heliconius butterflies" here: ow.ly/UqYc50UCnVU @borreroja.bsky.social
