    Revised Systematics and Higher Classification of Pierid Butterflies

    Zoologica Scripta Revised systematics and higher classification of pierid butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) based on molecular data NIKLAS WAHLBERG,JADRANKA ROTA,MICHAEL F. BRABY,NAOMI E. PIERCE & CHRISTOPHER W. WHEAT Submitted: 5 May 2014 Wahlberg, N., Rota, J., Braby, M.F., Pierce, N.E. & Wheat, C.W. (2014). Revised Accepted: 12 July 2014 systematics and higher classification of pierid butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) based on doi:10.1111/zsc.12075 molecular data. — Zoologica Scripta, 43, 641–650. The butterfly family Pieridae comprises approximately 1000 described species placed in 85 genera, but the higher classification has not yet been settled. We used molecular data from eight gene regions (one mitochondrial and seven nuclear protein-coding genes) com- prising a total of ~6700 bp from 96 taxa to infer a well-supported phylogenetic hypothesis for the family. Based on this hypothesis, we revise the higher classification for all pierid genera. We resurrect the tribe Teracolini stat. rev. in the subfamily Pierinae to include the genera Teracolus, Pinacopteryx, Gideona, Ixias, Eronia, Colotis and most likely Calopieris. We transfer Hebomoia to the tribe Anthocharidini and assign the previously unplaced gen- era Belenois and Dixeia to the subtribe Aporiina. Three lineages near the base of Pierinae (Leptosia, Elodina and Nepheronia + Pareronia) remain unplaced. For each of these, we describe and delineate new tribes: Elodinini Braby tribus nova, Leptosiaini Braby tribus nova and Nepheroniini Braby tribus nova. The proposed higher classification is based on well-supported monophyletic groups and is likely to remain stable even with the addition of more data.

    Airspeed Adjustment and Lipid Reserves in Migratory Neotropical

Box 2072, Balboa, Republic of Panama; and 3Department of Zoology, Oxford University, Oxford, UK Summary 1. Aerodynamic theory predicts that migrant fliers should reduce their speed of flight as endogenous energy reserves are gradually consumed. This prediction was tested for butterfly species (Pieridae and Nymphalidae) that engage in annual rainy season migrations through central Panama. 2. Direct airspeed measurements were made on butterflies in natural free flight, followed by chloroform : methanol extractions of abdominal lipids from the same insects. 3. Among individuals within particular species/gender subsets, airspeeds during flight were higher with greater lipid content following adjustment for body mass. Although it was not possible to measure lipid content repeatedly on a single insect, these comparisons among individuals for five migratory species suggest that butterflies reduce their flight speed as lipid reserves are progressively depleted. 4. Because choice of airspeed can strongly influence the rate of energetic expenditure, these results together with previously described strategies of wind drift compensation in the same taxa demonstrate sophisticated long-distance orientation and optimization strategies by migratory Neotropical butterflies flying within the boundary layer.

Interestingly, many trees and lianas that comprise the wet forests increase their productivity as a response to El Nino.~ Here, we quantify the abundance of migrating Marpesia chiron butterflies over 17 yr and the production of new leaves of their hostplants over 9 yr to test the generality of the El Nino~ migra- tion syndrome, i.e., whether increased abundance of migrating insects and productivity of their food plants are associated with El Nino~ and La Nina~ events. We find that the quantity of M. chiron migrating across the Panama Canal was directly proportional to the sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly of the Pacific Ocean, which characterizes El Nino~ and La Nina~ events. We also find that production of new leaves by its larval host trees, namely Brosimum alicastrum, Artocarpus altilis, and Ficus citrifolia, was directly proportional to the SST anomaly, with greater leaf flushing occurring during the period of the annual butterfly migration that followed an El Nino~ event.

EXECUTIVE BRIEF Motion and Title: Staff recommends motion to approve: an updated management plan for the Frenchman's Forest Natural Area. Summary: The management plan for the Frenchman's Forest Natural Area was originally approved by the Board of County Commissioners on July 7, 1998. The management plan was updated in 2014 to include information related to the addition of two tracts of land, significant events and activities occurring sincethe County's acquisition, public use facilities constructed on the site and current management strategies. The next update will be due in 2024. The County manages the natural area with the assistance of the City of Palm Beach Gardens. District 1 (SF) Background and Justification: The 173.5-acre Frenchman's Forest Natural Area is managed by the County's Department of Environmental Resources Management. The Palm Beach County Natural Areas Management Advisory Committee (NAMAC) reviews management plans for each natural area and recommends approval of the plan by the BCC. NAMAC reviewed the updated management plan for the Frenchman's Forest Natural Area and unanimously recommended approval of the updated plan at its October 17, 2014 meeting. Annual maintenance and operation costs, including biological monitoring, on-going invasive/nonnative animal and plant control, and repair and replacement of facilities, as needed, are estimated to be $282,393.

(VERBENACEAE) Gyanpriya Maharaj1, 2, 3 and Godfrey R. Bourne1, 3 1Department of Biology, University of Missouri−St. Louis, One University Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63121−4400, USA 2Centre for the Study of Biological Diversity and Department of Biology, University of Guyana, Turkeyen Campus, P.O. Box 10−1110, Greater Georgetown, Guyana 3CEIBA Biological Center, Linden Highway, Madewini, Guyana Abstract—Plants communicate with their pollinators through an astonishing range of signals that serve as either honest or deceptive cues which draw in and inform potential visitors of possible rewards. In wild type sweet sage, Lantana camara, floral colour signals were associated with nectar volume and sucrose concentration, and many pollinator taxa quickly learned to associate these varying colour signals with rewards. We tested the hypothesis that if sweet sage is employing a generalist pollinator strategy based on a trichromatic changing floral presentation system of honest rewards for pollinators, then the following predictions will be realized: 1) pre-change yellow flowers will be visited more frequently by pollinators than post change orange, or red flowers; 2) pre-change yellow flowers will produce higher quality and greater quantities of sucrose rewards than post-change orange, or red flowers; 3) inflorescences with higher ratios of rewarding flowers to unrewarding flowers are more attractive at short distances; and 4) inflorescences with a combination of pre-change rewarding and post-change rewarding and unrewarding flowers will act as a multi-coloured advertising billboard and as such be most attractive at long distances.

Data contained in these databases are directly available to state agencies, with summary data available to the public via the Internet (both through FNAI‘s web site and NatureServe Explorer). Since project inception, FNAI instigated tracking of more than 200 taxa, nearly doubling its prior list of tracked taxa developed during more than 2 decades of previous work. Newly tracked taxa represented the following groups (and numbers): snails (12), spiders (2), amphipods (1), crayfish (2), springtails (2), mayflies (1), dragonflies and damselflies (5), grasshoppers (14), stoneflies (11), beetles (56), scorpionflies (1), caddisflies (24), butterflies and moths (71), bees (1), and velvet ants (3). Most of these taxa are endemic to Florida or the Southeast. We collated and entered information pertaining to rarity and endangerment for all of the new taxa as well as most of the 279 previously tracked taxa.

Apricot sulphur butterfly, Phoebis argante. [http://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/phoebis_argante_chincha_types.htm, downloaded 9 March 2016] TRAITS. They are sexually dimorphic; the male upper side is bright orange in colour (Fig. 1) while the female upper side is paler, ranging from white to yellow (Fig. 2). The wingspan is approximately 53-65mm (Opler, 1998). Sulphur butterflies rarely open their wings, except in flight or when mating. DISTRIBUTION. These butterflies are swift flying and are known to be migrants. They are found in South America from Mexico to Uruguay and in the Caribbean in countries such as Jamaica, Windward Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Cuba, and Trinidad, and seen rarely in Texas and Kansas (Fig. 3) (Opler, 1998). Regular migration is seen across Lake Gutan in the Panama Canal heading in the southerly direction (Dingle, 2014). HABITAT AND ACTIVITY. They are diurnal, most activities are done in the day. Habitat is diverse, they can be found in a number of different areas such as subtropical brushy areas, primary and secondary rainforest, and open forest. In Jamaica Phoebis argante prefers open woodlands (Stiling, 1999). UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology FOOD AND FEEDING. They are primary consumers since they feed on plants. Adult butterflies feed on liquids and use their proboscis which is a tube-like tongue. When feeding the proboscis uncoils to sip liquid and coils up again when finished feeding (Kentucky, 2013).
