A genetic ‘switch’ is key to butterfly’s ‘toxic disguise’A developmental gene called “invected” is behind the development of different wing patterns of the mocker swallowtail. Discovering how the gene (and a neighbouring one) works and how these different mimic patterns evolved may shed new light on whether such evolutionary changes occur in small gradual steps, or sudden leaps.
