In this review, I address primarily the question whether the synthetic theory of population genetics, ecology and evolution supplies a sufficient explanation of what we find. The omission of a paper from the present bibliography is not intended as a criticism; for others, see the general review of Heliconius biology (23) and the comprehensive bibliographies (22, 105). There has always been a free exchange of data and ideas among Heliconius researchers, and some important discoveries and ideas have occurred simultaneously and independently; some foundation work is in unpublished theses (3, 22, 50, 51, 76, 85, 94).
