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’

  • A Molecular Phylogeny of the Neotropical Butterfly Genus Anartia
    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 26 (2003) 46–55 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev A molecular phylogeny of the neotropical butterfly genus Anartia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) Michael J. Blum,a,b,* Eldredge Bermingham,b and Kanchon Dasmahapatrab,c a Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27705, USA b Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Naos Island Molecular Laboratories, Unit 0948, APO-AA 34002-0948, Panama, FL, USA c Department of Biology, Galton Laboratory, University College, 4 Stephenson Way, London NW1 2HE, UK Received 2 August 2001; received in revised form 17 June 2002 Abstract While Anartia butterflies have served as model organisms for research on the genetics of speciation, no phylogeny has been published to describe interspecific relationships. Here, we present a molecular phylogenetic analysis of Anartia species relationships, using both mitochondrial and nuclear genes. Analyses of both data sets confirm earlier predictions of sister species pairings based primarily on genital morphology. Yet both the mitochondrial and nuclear gene phylogenies demonstrate that Anartia jatrophae is not sister to all other Anartia species, but rather that it is sister to the Anartia fatima–Anartia amathea lineage. Traditional bi- ogeographic explanations for speciation across the genus relied on A. jatrophae being sister to its congeners. These explanations invoked allopatric divergence of sister species pairs and multiple sympatric speciation events to explain why A. jatrophae flies alongside all its congeners. The molecular phylogenies are more consistent with lineage divergence due to vicariance, and range expansion of A. jatrophae to explain its sympatry with congeners. Further interpretations of the tree topologies also suggest how morphological evolution and eco-geographic adaptation may have set species range boundaries.

  • Ecology, Population Biology and Mortality of Euptoieta Hegesia Cramer (Nymphalidae) on Jamaica
    }<mrnal <1 the Lepidopterists' Society 52(1), 1998, 9-39 ECOLOGY, POPULATION BIOLOGY AND MORTALITY OF EUPTOIETA HEGESIA CRAMER (NYMPHALIDAE) ON JAMAICA PHILLIP J. SCHAPPERT] AND JOEL S. SHORE Department of Biology, York University, 4700 Keele Street, North York, Ontario M3J IP3, Canada ABSTRACT. We examine the ecology, population biology and potential sources of mortality of Euptoieta hegesia, a tropical lowland butterfly from Jamaica, using a combina­ tion of captive rearing, studies of natural populations, and experimental approaches. We provide detailed observations of the life cycle and methods for captive rearing of this spe­ cies. We assess the relative performance of larvae on primary and secondary hostplants, distribution of larvae on the primary hostplant, hostplant population utilization, and the distribution of E. hegesia on the island. A mark-release-recapture study was conducted to estimate population parameters and we recorded sex, size, age (as estimated by wing wear), and wing damage sustained by the butterflies prior to their initial capture. We pro­ vide evidence that Tumera ulmifdia is the plimary hostplant of K hegesia on Jamaica and that butterfly population size is not limited by the availability of hostplants. These short­ lived butterflies appear to be residents of discrete hostplant populations and experience high mortality levels. Females are damaged more frequently, show more total damage and more frequent symmetrical hindwing damage (attributablc to ground-based predators) than do males. Wc compare the results of the population study with available studies of other tropical butterflies and suggest that lowland butterfly population structure and dy­ namics are Significantly different from that of rainforest species.

Thanks to your hard work, we have thousands of new data points that will help us construct and learn from networks of plant-herbivore-enemy interactions. One of the most important networks created this year was the web of volunteers and researchers who can communicate the importance of insects and the threats they face as a result of global change. In 2018, we fielded 4 teams which allowed us to reach diverse audiences. In total, we had 34 volunteers helping us collect across the Americas from three of our research stations including Arizona, Costa Rica and Ecuador. We collected thousands of caterpillars in 2018, and the data from these caterpillars allows us to ask broader questions regarding tri-trophic interactions among plants, their Lepidopteran herbivores and associated parasitoids. Further, many of the parasitoids reared from the caterpillars we collected represent new interactions and species! Your help was both timely and important as these networks of interactions are being reshaped rapidly due to the loss of species and interactions. Long term data sets cataloguing insect interactions are rare, yet crucial for understanding the ecological consequences of global change. Our data allow us to quantify abundance, parasitism rates and interaction diversity across time, as well as providing insight into the ecological links between plant chemistry, herbivores and parasitoids.

    insects Article Experimental Manipulation of Dispersal Ability in A Neotropical Butterfly Anartia fatima (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) Robert B. Srygley 1,2 ID 1 Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Apdo. 2072, Balboa, Republic of Panama 2 USDA-Agricultural Research Service, Northern Plains Agricultural Research Lab, 1500 N. Central Ave., Sidney Montana, MT 59270, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-406-433-9420 Received: 17 July 2018; Accepted: 21 August 2018; Published: 22 August 2018 Abstract: Research on endangered British butterflies has found that butterfly populations in small refuges evolve to allocate more mass to the thorax (flight muscle) and less to the abdomen than populations in large refuges. The observed change in mass allocation affects two morphological features relevant to flight: the flight muscle ratio (FMR) and the position of center of body mass (cmbody). The author tested whether a decrease in FMR or a change in cmbody reduced the ability to disperse by experimentally weight-loading Neotropical Anartia fatima butterflies. In one treatment group, FMR was decreased but cmbody was not altered, whereas in the second group FMR was decreased and cmbody was repositioned further posterior. In one mark–release–recapture (MRR) experiment, butterflies dispersed relatively slowly, and treatment groups did not differ significantly. In a replicate experiment, butterflies dispersed more quickly, and control butterflies dispersed more rapidly than either treatment group. Differences in dispersal were consistent with a causal relationship between FMR and movement. A more posterior cmbody had little effect on dispersal beyond that due to the change in FMR. These results support the hypothesis that an increase in mass allocation to the thorax in small, dispersed refugia is due to selection on the ability to disperse.

Very few studies have examined the regeneration of tropical dry forests (TDF), one of the most damaged ecosystem types in the world. Owing to their species diversity and abundance, insects have been widely used as bioindicators of restoration. Butterflies were among the most abundant and useful groups. We sampled four sites with different levels of anthropogenic disturbance in a Mexican TDF (Morelos State) and compared butterfly communities. A first goal was to examine whether adult butterflies were significant bioindicators owing to their specificity to restricted habitats. A second aim was to determine if differences exist in butterfly communities between some fields abandoned from 4–8, 8–15 and 15–30 years and a reference zone considered as primary forest. We found 40% to 50% of the species of butterflies were specifically related to a habitat and/or a level of anthropogenic disturbance.

FIELD CYRIL F. DOS PASSOS and JOHN H. MASTERS SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 157 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub- lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world.

The three genes are 1450 bp of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (in the mitochondrial genome), and 1077 bp of elongation factor 1-α and 400-403 bp of wingless (both in the nuclear genome). 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 subfamily Nymphalinae. We also are able to identify “rogue”
