Figure 2: Dominance heat maps for all pairs of alleles.

From: Evolution of dominance mechanisms at a butterfly mimicry supergene

Figure 2

Upper and lower panels present sympatric (ah) and parapatric (ip) pairs of alleles, respectively. Each column (ap) shows, for a given pair of alleles, the modal wing patterns of homozygous dominant (top), heterozygote (middle) and homozygous recessive (bottom) genotypes on a white background, and the corresponding dominance heat map on a black background. Each heat map pixel is coloured on a scale from red to blue representing the proportion of heterozygous individuals identical to one (red or blue), both (grey) or neither homozygote (white). Areas displaying a rainbow of colours are due to variations in patch size and shape among heterozygotes. Alleles are referenced with the first three letters of each mimetic form (bic: bicoloratus; aur: aurora; arc: arcuella; ele: elegans; lut: lutea; tar: tarapotensis; sil: silvana; ill: illustris).
