Hypolimnas misippus mimicry polymorphism

Female Hypolimnas misippus butterflies develop multiple wing color patterns that mimic co-occurring, unrelated toxic butterflies. In contrast, H. misippus males develop a single wing color pattern that is distinct from all female wing color patterns and is non-mimetic. These data are whole-genome sequencing datasets from 35 H. misippus females that were used to perform genome-wide association analyses to identify the loci controlling the female-limited wing color pattern switch.
