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. -

Tallei Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Sam Ratulangi, Kampus Bahu, Manado, Indonesia Article published on April 23, 2017 Key words: Farm, Primary forest, Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae Abstract Butterflies (Lepidoptera) are important pollinators. This study aims to analyze the diversity of butterflies in various habitat types in Tangkoko Nature Reserve (TNR) North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Butterflies were sampled in four habitat types (i.e. primary forest, secondary forest, farms and shrubs) along randomly selected transects of 500 m using a sweep net. Sampling was conducted monthly over a three month period. Three families in Superfamily Papilionoidea were found namely Papilionidae, Nymphalidae, and Pieridae, with 576 individuals representing 28 species. The highest diversity, as indicated by Shannon-Wiener index (H) was found in the farm (H=2.13), followed by shrubs (H=1.79), and the lowest was in primary forest (H=1.67). Based on Sorensen similarity index (Cn), the composition of butterfly species found in primary forest had a high similarity value with that found in the farm (SI = 0.71), while the lowest was found amongst primary forest and shrub (SI = 0.55). Community similarity analysis indicated that the composition of butterfly species in the primary forest is more similar to species of butterflies in farm, whereas species of butterfly in shrub has much in common with the butterfly species in secondary forest. -

T. ABDULLAH 1Kenyir Research Institute, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 21030 Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, Malaysia. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Ninety percent species of butterflies can be found in the tropics. Southeast Asia has one of the highest Lepidopteran biodiversity in the world, while over 1,200 species of butterflies reside in Malaysia. Despite high Lepidopteran diversity, there is still little knowledge on the butterfly distribution in the islands of Southeast Asia. The aim of this study was to generate species data for butterflies at the islands of Pulau Perhentian Besar and Pulau Bidong in Terengganu region, Malaysia. The collected data will be a foundation for long-term monitoring, future research and a species guideline for tourism. The faunistic composition of Rhopalocera was studied by using 20 baited traps in which 10 baited traps were set at the canopy level and another 10 baited traps were set in the understorey for seven days on each island. The baited traps at the understory and canopy level were set on selected trees at 1 m and 15 m above the ground respectively, and left to function from 0800 hours to 1700 hours. Ripe pineapples were used as bait to attract butterflies. Aerial netting along one kilometre of line transects were also conducted for catching butterflies. A total of 26 species of butterflies from four families were caught during the sampling period. -

Research about diversity of butterflies was conducted in ancient volcano mount of Nglanggeran, Yogyakarta. The objective of this research is to get data about diversity of butterflies in ancient volcano mount of Nglanggeran, Yogyakarta. This research is using observation method and “Literature review”. The results of this research show that in ancient volcano mount of Nglanggeran has high diversity of butterflies. In this area found 14 species that dominate by family Nymphalidae. Keywords: Diversity, Butterfly, Ancient volcano mount, Nglanggeran 1. Introduction 1.1. Background Ancient volcano mount of Nglanggeran located at district Patuk, Gunungkidul Yogyakarta Indonesia. Surrounded by Batubarang region with height of between 200-700 meters above the sea with have air temperature between 230 C – 270 C. This area is an area that lit logy complied by older volcanic is unique and of high scientific value. Butterflies are insect that have perfect metamorphosis. The life cycle of butterfly start from egg, larva, pupa, and adult butterfly. These colorful insects frequent open, sunny wildflower gardens, grassy fields and orchards, feeding on nectar from flowering plants. The order contains over 19,000 species of butterflies and 100,000 species of moths worldwide (Jane Austin. 2000). The butterfly is one of the biological wealth owned by Indonesia. The butterflies are included in the order Lepidoptera, the insect whose wings covered in scales. -

Semarang 5, Malang, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT There are many variants of butterfly species living at Kondang Merak beach Southern Malang, Indonesia, but the information about their diversity has notbeen available yet. This research aimed to determine the diversity of butterfly species at Kondang Merak beach. This research was conducted in April 2013. The butterfly was captured using insect nett with standart walk method. This research found the total of 40 butterflies species belong to 5 families, i.e. Pieridae (15 species), Nymphalidae (14 species), Papilionidae (5 spesies), Lycaenidae (5 spesies) and Hesperidae (1 species). Ideopsis juventa from family of Nymphalidae is the most abundant species in this area. Further research is necessary in order to provide more complete database about the diversity of butterfly at Kondang Merak beach. Keywords: Butterfly, Lepidoptera, Kondang Merak beach INTRODUCTION Kondang Merak is one of beautiful beach at Southern Malang area. Many variants of butterfly live around the macadam road and on the banks of Kondang Merak Beach. How- ever, the information about database of butterfly spesies in Kondang Merak beach has not been availlable yet. Around the world, Butterfly is divided into 6 families, which are Hesperidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Nymphalidae, Riodinidae, and Lycaenidae (Braby, 2004). -

ABSTRACT On 29 May 1770 Joseph Banks described a spectacular swarming of “milions”[sic] “of one sort” of butterfly at Thirsty Sound, near what is now Rockhampton, Queensland, comparing it to a species from China that had been named by Linnaeus. Discovery of what appears to be an Endeavour Voyage specimen of this Australian butterfly in the Hunterian Zoology Museum, Glasgow, allows us to confirm its long-suspected identity as Tirumala hamata hamata (Macleay) – a species unnamed and unknown at the time of Cook’s First Voyage. Investigations into several collections that include 18th century Australian Lepidoptera and associated literature have not positively identified any further specimens taken from the swarm, although a pair in Oxford University Museum of Natural History could be from the same source.
