James Mallet: Outline of research Current research interests a) Comparative genomics, especially to investigate adaptive evolution, genetics of species traits such as evo-devo of colour pattern development, as a means to study gene flow between species, and the nature of species and speciation. b) Genetics of species and speciation. Genealogical and coalescent approaches. c) Hybridization and hybrid speciation, and their importance in nature. d) Highly replicated biogeographic analyses in high-species diversity faunas as a comparative approach to study species diversification in the Amazon basin. e) Evolution and systematics of butterflies (especially Heliconiinae and Ithomiinae). f) Natural history, biodiversity and taxonomy informatics. g) History and philosophy of science (when necessary).

Research findings a) Selection on mimicry genes is strong, and important in the lives of Heliconius. b) Mimicry shifts cause or are associated with speciation in Heliconius. Mimicry shifts cause reproductive isolation as a by-product via two mechanisms: (a) strong selection against non-mimetic hybrids between Müllerian mimicry forms, and (b) pleiotropic effects of colour pattern on visually based mate choice. c) Mimicry differences between species (i.e. between H. cydno and H. melpomene, and between H. erato and H. himera) are inherited as single genes of large effect, which are the same as those known from geographic races within species. d) In work with Henri Descimon, I have shown that at least 16% of European butterfly species hybridize in nature with one or more other species. In another study, on wild-caught hybrids between species of Heliconius, I show that a large fraction (35%) of species hybridize. In about half of the cases, clear evidence for backcrossing exists, suggesting that genes may flow between species in nature. Genomic evidence proves that genes are regularly, albeit rarely introgressing among Heliconius species in nature, and may contribute to adaptive evolution of mimicry and other ecologically important traits. There is preliminary evidence for quite substantial amounts of 'hybrid speciation' and transfer of adaptive mimicry genes among members of the melpomene group of Heliconius. e) Gene sequencing studies have shown that H. cydno and H. melpomene have fixed differences at mitochondrial and some nuclear gene loci, but that the same species share identical haplotypes at other nuclear loci. Coalescent analyses of

Page 12: James Mallet - University College London

12

population sequence data implicate introgression between species and/or hybrid speciation as the cause. The genomes in these species therefore show preliminary evidence for 'islands of speciation' which determine species phenotypes, separated by regions that introgress more freely. f) The switch-supergene that controls polymorphic mimicry by H. numata of its ithomiine co-mimics is controlled by one of the same regions for mimicry in H. melpomene. We have sequenced the region on BAC clones in both species. Chromosomal arrangements are largely identical between species within Heliconius, and several similar-acting mimicry loci in H .erato/himera map to the same co-linear genomic locations in H. melpomene/cydno. These mimicry loci are therefore clearly conserved throughout Heliconius, but also have extremely flexible gene action, since the colour patterns of H. numata are radically different to those in H. melpomene or H. erato (in collaboration with M. Joron and Heliconius consortium). g) The rates of evolution of new geographic races and species in replicate Ithomiinae and Heliconius taxa across a narrow ‘suture zone’ in Peru are highly, and significantly variable. While some groups of species show very slow rates of speciation and mimicry evolution (e.g. Oleria), others (e.g. Melinaea) show extremely rapid rates. These results, obtained via novel multilocus coalescent analyses, cast doubt on the idea that mimicry evolution and speciation was driven simply by allopatry, for example after formation of Pleistocene forest refugia. Instead, biological, lineage-dependent differences among clades in response to the environment are most likely the cause of these variable rates of diversification. Simple ‘environmental forcing’ of species diversification does not seem a globally tenable explanation, given such widely differing rates of evolution in a single region. h) With a team of taxonomists, especially Gerardo Lamas and Keith Willmott, we have compiled a databased checklist of scientific names, including all subspecies and valid synonyms, as well as many invalid names of all butterflies on the planet, and type specimen photos and data for the neotropics for release on the internet. Linked to this project, we have museum and genetic/genomic specimen databases for the neotropical area, closing gaps between museum taxonomy and genomics informatics. i) Darwin's statements about species and speciation are widely misunderstood. Many historians of science have been aware of this, but even they have interpreted Darwin in the light of a perceived 'correct' reproductive isolation or phylogenetic view of species, developed in the 20th Century. In the 150th anniversary of Darwin's 'Origin', I have contributed strongly to a renewed assessment of Darwin's view of species. Erroneous heredity aside, Darwin's views are increasingly useful for interpreting today's molecular and genomic data on speciation.

Achievements and influence

I have over 160 publications (excluding meeting abstracts, since first publication as an undergraduate in 1976), and I am known world-wide in evolution and genetics circles, leading to many invitations to speak at international meetings, especially on the topic of speciation. My associates, former associates and I have built Heliconius into a key organism for understanding evolutionary genetics, evolution of development, and speciation. Initial work was on hybrid zones between mimetic geographic races of H. melpomene and H. erato, leading to an understanding of mimetic selection pressure and gene flow. Recent work has concentrated on speciation and hybridization studies among full species, especially between H. himera and H. erato, and then H. cydno and H. melpomene, as well as polymorphic mimicry in H. numata. In the Heliconius melpomene group on which we are focusing new genomics approaches, we have preliminary evidence for hybridization and adaptive introgression among around 15 sympatric species. This work is leading to a revolutionary understanding of the nature of species, as well as providing mapping tools for identification and association mapping of 'speciation genes' and the evo-devo of colour pattern development. PhD students and postdocs from my group have now founded major laboratories of their own in Puerto Rico and North Carolina State (W. Owen McMillan), Cambridge (Chris Jiggins), and Edinburgh & Paris (Mathieu Joron). They form a large fraction of today’s international Heliconius Consortium (www.heliconius.org) involved in Heliconius ecology, behaviour, evo-devo and genomics research. Meanwhile, we have recently spearheaded genetic work to study evolution and mimicry of a different and somewhat lesser known group, the ithomiine butterflies, important Müllerian mimicry partners of some Heliconius. The great advantage of this group is replicability in a comparative approach – there are over 300 species, as compared with only ~40 in Heliconius. Ithomiine research has been carried out not only in my own laboratory, but in collaboration with Edinburgh (Marianne Elias, Mathieu Joron), University of Florida (Keith Willmott, another former postdoc), Cambridge (Chris Jiggins), and Lima (Gerardo Lamas).

James Mallet: Teaching interests and other university service Overview and philosophy

I attempt to take fresh approaches in many problems in population genetics, evolution and biodiversity, and I find this attitude can be an exciting way to teach as well. I enjoy teaching, especially for the occasional successes one achieves as judged by comments from former students. I also like teaching because it forces me to think through topics related to, but outside my immediate specialisms. I am quite messianic that my undergraduates should learn enough maths and stats to understand basic population genetic and evolutionary theories, and analyse simple genetic data sets. This can be initially unpopular among the more innumerate undergraduates, but even the most disadvantaged usually agree afterwards that it is worthwhile. In my evolutionary genetics course at UCL, the math blow becomes softened as we get to more complex problems, such as sexual selection, speciation, and macroevolution: the teaching becomes more 'organismic' due to extreme complexity of mathematical treatment that would otherwise be required.

Potential courses and past teaching experience I currently teach an undergraduate course in evolutionary genetics, as well as a field course in ecological genetics which we hold in Southern Spain during the Mediterranean spring, and a biodiversity unit within a general ecology course (see: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucbhdjm/courses). These receive excellent ratings at UCL. I would be happy to teach in a relatively broad range of undergraduate courses ranging from genetics, population genetics, evolution, population biology, to biodiversity etc., depending on Departmental teaching needs. While graduate courses are virtually non-existent in UK universities, I teach a one-day graduate course on likelihood and statistical inference with my colleague Ziheng Yang for the Graduate School at UCL. Future graduate courses could include areas of evolutionary genetics, comparative genomics, population genetics of biodiversity, etc. I also teach CoMPLEX graduate students ('enabling,' below). University service and 'enabling' At UCL I was until recently Director of the London-wide Centre for Ecology and Evolution (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucbtcee/). I run the Centre for Comparative Genomics (and also was the PI on the NERC Equipment Grant that originally funded this service, see http://www.ucl.ac.uk/biology/centre-for-comparative-genomics/). I am a founding member of UCL's Centre for Mathematics and Physics in the Life Sciences and Experimental Biology (CoMPLEX, www.ucl.ac.uk/complex). CoMPLEX is UCL's interdisciplinary and inter-Faculty MRes/PhD graduate programme. Among many other minor jobs, I also redesigned and ran the entire main UCL Biology website (www.ucl.ac.uk/biology/) for many years.
