We explore the influence of each gene region on the support given to each node of the most parsimonious tree derived from a combined analysis of all three genes using Partitioned Bremer Support. We also explore the influence of assuming equal weights for all characters in the combined analysis by investigating the stability of clades to different transition/transversion weighting schemes. We find many strongly supported and stable clades in the Nymphalinae. We are also able to identify ‘rogue’

Body Painting Type Analysis Based on Biomimicry Camouflage. International Journal of Architecture, Arts and Applications. Vol. 6, No. 1, 2020, pp. 1-11. doi: 10.11648/j.ijaaa.20200601.11 Received: November 26, 2019; Accepted: December 20, 2019; Published: January 7, 2020 Abstract: The purpose of this study is to establish a method and find a possible way of applying biomimicry camouflage in body painting. This study seeks a direction for the future of the beauty and art industry through biomimicry. For this study, we analyzed the works by classifying camouflage body painting into passive and active camouflage sections based on the application of biomimicry to the artificial camouflage system. In terms of detailed types, passive camouflage was classified into general resemblance and special resemblance, and active camouflage into adventitious resemblance and variable protective resemblance, and expression characteristics and type were derived. Passive camouflage is the work of the pictorial expressive technique using aqueous and oily body painting products. The general resemblance was expressed as a body painting of crypsis and camouflage strategies. The special resemblance is a mimicry in which the human body camouflages the whole figure of living organisms or inanimate objects.

  • Selecting Flagships for Invertebrate Conservation
    Biodivers Conserv (2012) 21:1457–1476 DOI 10.1007/s10531-012-0257-7 ORIGINAL PAPER Selecting flagships for invertebrate conservation Maan Barua • Daniel J. Gurdak • Riyaz Akhtar Ahmed • Jatin Tamuly Received: 19 July 2011 / Accepted: 14 February 2012 / Published online: 4 March 2012 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 Abstract Invertebrates have a low public profile and are seriously underrepresented in global conservation efforts. The promotion of flagship species is one way to generate interest in invertebrate conservation. Butterflies are frequently labeled invertebrate flag- ships, but clear definitions of the conservation actions they are meant to catalyze, and empirical assessments of their popularity amongst non-Western audiences are lacking. To improve the use of invertebrate flagships, we examine how butterflies compare with other taxa in terms of popularity. We then identify characteristics of individual species that are appealing and explore whether these may be used to derive a set of guidelines for selecting invertebrate flagships. We conducted questionnaire-based surveys amongst two target audiences: rural residents (n = 255) and tourists (n = 105) in northeast India. Inverte- brates that were aesthetically appealing, or those that provided material benefits or eco- logical services were liked. Butterflies were the most popular group for both audiences, followed by dragonflies, honeybees and earthworms. A combination of large size and bright colours led to high popularity of individual species, whilst butterflies with unique Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10531-012-0257-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

During the present study, One hundred and five species of butterflies belonging to 5 families of 72 genera are recorded. The most abundant family is Nymphalidae followed by Lycaenidae, Hesperidae, Pieridae and Papilionidae. Analysis of these species for abundance revealed that 54 species (51.42%) were common, 16 (15.23%) fairly common, 22 (20.9%) uncommon and 13 (12.38%) were rare. Moreover, 13 species were placed under Wild Life Protection Act (1972). The relative percentage of scheduled species is maximum in Lycaenidae (5.71%) followed by Nymphalidae (4.76 %), Hesperidae is equal to Papilionidae (0.95%) and lastly Pieridae (0%).
