TheHeliconiusbutterflies are a diverse recent radiation comprising multiple levels of divergence with ongoing gene flow between species. The recently sequenced genome ofHeliconius melpomeneallowed us to investigate the genomic evolution of this group using dense RAD marker sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis of 54 individuals robustly supported reciprocal monophyly ofH. melpomeneandHeliconius cydnoand refuted previous phylogenetic hypotheses thatH. melpomenemay be paraphylectic with respect toH. cydno.Heliconius timaretaalso formed a monophyletic clade closely related but distinct fromH. cydnowithHeliconius heurippafalling within this clade. We find evidence for genetic admixture between sympatric populations of the sister cladesH. melpomeneandH. cydno/timareta, particularly betweenH. cydnoandH. melpomenefrom Central America and betweenH. timaretaandH. melpomenefrom the eastern slopes of the Andes. Between races, divergence is primarily explained by isolation by distance and there is no detectable genetic population structure between parapatric races, suggesting that hybrid zones between races are not zones of secondary contact. Our results also support previous findings that colour pattern loci are shared between populations and species with similar colour pattern elements. Furthermore, this pattern is almost unique to these genomic regions, with only a very small number of other loci showing significant similarity between populations and species with similar colour patterns.
