Female asynchrony may drive disruptive sexual selection on male mating phenotypes in a Heliconius butterfly

Alternative male phenotypes may be a source of novel adaptive traits and may evolve under strong sexual selection. We studied interpopulation differences in male mating behavior related to receptive female synchrony in the monandrous pupal-mating butterfly Heliconius charitonia. In the population in...
