  bibo_abstract:
  - The evolution of new species is made easier when traits under divergent ecological
    selection are also mating cues. Such ecological mating cues are now considered
    more common than previously thought, but we still know little about the genetic
    changes underlying their evolution or more generally about the genetic basis for
    assortative mating behaviors. Both tight physical linkage and the existence of
    large-effect preference loci will strengthen genetic associations between behavioral
    and ecological barriers, promoting the evolution of assortative mating. The warning
    patterns of Heliconius melpomene and H. cydno are under disruptive selection due
    to increased predation of nonmimetic hybrids and are used during mate recognition.
    We carried out a genome-wide quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of preference
    behaviors between these species and showed that divergent male preference has
    a simple genetic basis. We identify three QTLs that together explain a large proportion
    (approximately 60%) of the difference in preference behavior observed between
    the parental species. One of these QTLs is just 1.2 (0-4.8) centiMorgans (cM)
    from the major color pattern gene optix, and, individually, all three have a large
    effect on the preference phenotype. Genomic divergence between H. cydno and H.
    melpomene is high but broadly heterogenous, and admixture is reduced at the preference-optix
    color pattern locus but not the other preference QTLs. The simple genetic architecture
    we reveal will facilitate the evolution and maintenance of new species despite
    ongoing gene flow by coupling behavioral and ecological aspects of reproductive
    isolation.@eng
