With our intention being only ever to ship top quality A1 pupae, experience has taught us that the best way for- Pupae ward is breed them yourself! We have therefore developed a policy whereby we own or have an overriding control- ling financial interest in the majority of sites that produce Papilio palinurus One of Our Purpose-Built Breeding Rooms pupae for us. Pupae production starts with the selection of top quality breeding stock. The adult butterflies fly in large airy flight cages, with multiple sources of fresh nectar. Various precautions are in place to control species of parasitic flies that love to lay their own eggs within those of the butterflies. The butterfly eggs are collected twice daily, stored in special boxes, labeled and dated then subjected to rigorous quality controls and dis- ease prevention regimes. The eggs of most species hatch within five days and are then transferred to the nursery. After about three days, the new caterpillars shed their 1st skin and are then transferred to purpose-built cages in the rearing rooms. All cater- caterpillar pillars are given fresh food plant daily and their cages cleaned. After pupa- tion, the pupae are allowed to Attacus atlas hang in the cage for 24 hours in order to harden, after which ther are collected and taken to the "pupae room" for check- ing. Small, underweight or deformed pupae are discarded; only top quality A1 Working in the pupae room pupae, with known pupation dates, are shipped to Oxford for sale, where they are checked again for any diseases which may only show late, damage incurred in transit or parasitic infection that escaped the first checks. Only at this point are they deemed ready to dispatch to cus- tomers. All our farms maintain strict hygiene and parasite control regimes. All caterpillar cages and rearing rooms are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between each brood.

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’

  • Origin of the Mechanism of Phenotypic Plasticity in Satyrid Butterfly Eyespots
    SHORT REPORT Origin of the mechanism of phenotypic plasticity in satyrid butterfly eyespots Shivam Bhardwaj1†*, Lim Si-Hui Jolander2, Markus R Wenk1,2, Jeffrey C Oliver3, H Frederik Nijhout4, Antonia Monteiro1,5* 1Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore; 2Department of Biochemistry, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore; 3Office of Digital Innovation & Stewardship, University of Arizona, Tucson, United States; 4Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, United States; 5Yale-NUS College, Singapore, Singapore Abstract Plasticity is often regarded as a derived adaptation to help organisms survive in variable but predictable environments, however, we currently lack a rigorous, mechanistic examination of how plasticity evolves in a large comparative framework. Here, we show that phenotypic plasticity in eyespot size in response to environmental temperature observed in Bicyclus anynana satyrid butterflies is a complex derived adaptation of this lineage. By reconstructing the evolution of known physiological and molecular components of eyespot size plasticity in a comparative framework, we showed that 20E titer plasticity in response to temperature is a pre-adaptation shared by all butterfly species examined, whereas expression of EcR in eyespot centers, and eyespot sensitivity to 20E, are both derived traits found only in a *For correspondence: subset of species with eyespots.

  • 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.
