Fig. 3: Best inferred demographic scenario from RAD-sequencing data.
From: Convergent morphology and divergent phenology promote the coexistence of Morpho butterfly species
Eight categories of scenarios were compared according to different temporal patterns of gene flow: between M. helenor and M. achilles (ancestral migration or secondary contact); with M. deidamia (strict isolation, migration only with M. helenor, migration only with M. achilles, migration between the three species). The parameter values of the best demographic model are expressed relative to the current population size of M. helenor set to Ne = 1. The grey rectangle indicates the period when M. helenor and M. achilles were, according to the demographic model fitting the best the molecular dataset, genetically connected through migration event.
