Miocene Diversification and High-Altitude Adaptation of <i>Parnassius</i> Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau Revealed by Large-Scale Transcriptomic Data

Miocene Diversification and High-Altitude Adaptation of <i>Parnassius</i> Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau Revealed by Large-Scale Transcriptomic Data

The early evolutionary pattern and molecular adaptation mechanism of alpine <i>Parnassius</i> butterflies to high altitudes in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau are poorly understood up to now, due to difficulties in sampling, limited sequence data, and time calibration issues. Here, we present larg...
