Natural hybridization in heliconiine butterflies: the species boundary as a continuum

BACKGROUND: To understand speciation and the maintenance of taxa as separate entities, we need information about natural hybridization and gene flow among species. RESULTS: Interspecific hybrids occur regularly in Heliconius and Eueides (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in the wild: 26–29% of the species o...
