1.
Zygosity-based sex determination in a butterfly drives hypervariability of
Vant Hof A, Whiteford S, Yung C, Yoshido A, Zrzava M, de Jong M, et al.
Sci Adv . 2024 May; 10(18):eadj6979. PMID: 38701204
Nature has devised many ways of producing males and females. Here, we report on a previously undescribed mechanism for Lepidoptera that functions without a female-specific gene. The number of alleles...
2.
Alternative splicing in seasonal plasticity and the potential for adaptation to environmental change
Steward R, de Jong M, Oostra V, Wheat C
Nat Commun . 2022 Feb; 13(1):755. PMID: 35136048
Seasonal plasticity is accomplished via tightly regulated developmental cascades that translate environmental cues into trait changes. Little is known about how alternative splicing and other posttranscriptional molecular mechanisms contribute to...
3.
Vertically transmitted rhabdoviruses are found across three insect families and have dynamic interactions with their hosts
Longdon B, Day J, Schulz N, Leftwich P, de Jong M, Breuker C, et al.
Proc Biol Sci . 2017 Jan; 284(1847). PMID: 28100819
A small number of free-living viruses have been found to be obligately vertically transmitted, but it remains uncertain how widespread vertically transmitted viruses are and how quickly they can spread...

Differentiation in putative male sex pheromone components across and within populations of the African butterfly Bicyclus anynana as a potential driver of reproductive isolation
Bacquet P, de Jong M, Brattstrom O, Wang H, Molleman F, Heuskin S, et al.
Ecol Evol . 2016 Sep; 6(17):6064-84. PMID: 27648226
Sexual traits are often the most divergent characters among closely related species, suggesting an important role of sexual traits in speciation. However, to prove this, we need to show that...

The Glanville fritillary genome retains an ancient karyotype and reveals selective chromosomal fusions in Lepidoptera
Ahola V, Lehtonen R, Somervuo P, Salmela L, Koskinen P, Rastas P, et al.
Nat Commun . 2014 Sep; 5:4737. PMID: 25189940
Previous studies have reported that chromosome synteny in Lepidoptera has been well conserved, yet the number of haploid chromosomes varies widely from 5 to 223. Here we report the genome...
6.
Mitochondrial DNA signature for range-wide populations of Bicyclus anynana suggests a rapid expansion from recent refugia
de Jong M, Wahlberg N, van Eijk M, Brakefield P, Zwaan B
PLoS One . 2011 Jul; 6(6):e21385. PMID: 21731725
This study investigates the genetic diversity, population structure and demographic history of the afrotropical butterfly Bicyclus anynana using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Samples from six wild populations covering most of the...

Translating environmental gradients into discontinuous reaction norms via hormone signalling in a polyphenic butterfly
Oostra V, de Jong M, Invergo B, Kesbeke F, Wende F, Brakefield P, et al.
Proc Biol Sci . 2010 Sep; 278(1706):789-97. PMID: 20826484
Polyphenisms-the expression of discrete phenotypic morphs in response to environmental variation-are examples of phenotypic plasticity that may potentially be adaptive in the face of predictable environmental heterogeneity. In the butterfly...
