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’

  • Tympanal Ears in Nymphalidae Butterflies: Morphological Diversity and Tests on the Function of Hearing
    Tympanal Ears in Nymphalidae Butterflies: Morphological Diversity and Tests on the Function of Hearing by Laura E. Hall A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © 2014 Laura E. Hall i Abstract Several Nymphalidae butterflies possess a sensory structure called the Vogel’s organ (VO) that is proposed to function in hearing. However, little is known about the VO’s structure, taxonomic distribution or function. My first research objective was to examine VO morphology and its accessory structures across taxa. Criteria were established to categorize development levels of butterfly VOs and tholi. I observed that enlarged forewing veins are associated with the VOs of several species within two subfamilies of Nymphalidae. Further, I discovered a putative light/temperature-sensitive organ associated with the VOs of several Biblidinae species. The second objective was to test the hypothesis that insect ears function to detect bird flight sounds for predator avoidance. Neurophysiological recordings collected from moth ears show a clear response to flight sounds and chirps from a live bird in the laboratory. Finally, a portable electrophysiology rig was developed to further test this hypothesis in future field studies. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to thank David Hall who spent endless hours listening to my musings and ramblings regarding butterfly ears, sharing in the joy of my discoveries, and comforting me in times of frustration. Without him, this thesis would not have been possible. I thank Dr.

This Annual Report features images from the Florida Museum of Natural History Malacology Collection. Malacology is devoted to the study of mollusks, the second largest phylum of animals in terms of described species. About 100,000 species of mollusks are known, and the Florida Museum holds more than 30,000 species among 400,000 lots of specimens. More than 300,000 lots are now databased and accessible online (flmnh.ufl.edu/ malacology/collections.htm). The collection is among the five largest in the U.S., and one of the most rapidly growing. It is the second largest mollusk collection worldwide in online accessibility. (left) Marine Malacology Curator Gustav Paulay surveys the biodiversity of Kiritimati Island in the Pacific. Since Paulay’s hire in 2000, the Museum also has added an increasing number of non- molluscan marine invertebrates to its collection.

  • 2018 £ Sterling Butterfly Pupae Catalogue
    2018 £ Sterling Butterfly Pupae Catalogue To the Butterfly Keeper January 2018 2018 Butterfly Pupae Supplies Thank you for downloading our 2018 Sterling pupae price list and order forms. This year the British Pound has stabilized against the American Dollar which has allowed us to keep most of our prices at the same level as 2017. Our close working relationship with Streetwise Couriers has enabled us to keep our carriage costs via APC to remain the same with only a 5% increase in UPS costs to Europe. After many years we are discontinuing our Standard World Mix as we feel that the range of species offered is not broad enough to justify its inclusion in our catalogue. We are replacing it with an Old-World Mix where we will include species from; The Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Tanzania and Kenya. As ever there are several ways to order. You can simply fill out the enclosed forms and post, fax or email them back to us. If you prefer to order from our weekly availability list, then we can email it to you if you provide us with your email address. Or you can find it at www.tropicalbutterflypupae.com We post the new list around 2pm UK time every Friday afternoon. Please be aware our pupae sell out very quickly so if you leave your order until the following week we cannot guarantee that we will be able to fulfil your specific order. A new feature of the list this year will be occasional sales of various species. These will appear when our suppliers have had a particularly good result with any one species and we intend to share the bounty with our customers.
