Field Guide to the Butterflies of the Springfield Plantation Field Guide to the butterflies of the Springfield Plantation Tasha Bedgood Texas A&M University Study Abroad Program Dr. Tom Lacher Dr. Robert Wharton Dominica 2001 Tasha Bedgood Dominica 2001 Field Guide to the butterflies of the Springfield Plantation Abstract Butterflies are in the order Lepidoptera and I have found six different families and sixteen different species. The butterflies that were found on the trail to the right of the veranda consisted of a variety of different species, as opposed to some of the other locations that contained only a few different species. The Caribbean Buckeye was the one species of butterfly that seemed to be grouped in one area. They are found in great quantities at Mt. Joy. Introduction Dominica is a beautiful island with many natural attractions and historical sites. One of the attractions on the island is the Springfield Plantation. It is an old plantation that has not been in operation for some time. Clemson University bought the plantation in 1989 and renamed it The Archbold Tropical Research Center. The plantation is now used as a guesthouse and a center for environmental protection, research, and education. Springfield is in a transitional or deciduous forest, which allows researchers to study a variety of species of the flora and fauna. While I was at the center, I chose to study the butterflies on the plantation. Butterflies are beautiful creatures that catch the eye of anyone they encounter. I did a survey of the butterflies and recorded the species in different areas. Method and Materials I caught and identified a number of butterflies around the field station (veranda), the stream house, down a path to the right of the veranda, at the Bee House, and at Mt. Joy (the old dorms). I observed and recorded species at these locations for three days. When I had gathered enough information, I examined the data and looked for a pattern in the areas where I observed butterflies. To aid in my research, I used: ▸ Butterfly nets ▸ Field guide to the butterflies of Dominica ▸ Butterflies and Other Insects of the Eastern Caribbean (1989) by Peter Stiling Results Total butterflies a day: May 30 June 1 June 4 Stream house 15 11 10 Veranda 18 15 14 Trail 36 32 32 Bee House 11 13 15 Mt.

I had no way of marking the butterflies, so it is possible that I have recorded the same butterfly more than once in one evening. I tried not to stay in one area too long to avoid this. I also alternated the times of the day that I went to the different areas of study. The first day I went to the stream house, veranda, and the trail to the right of the veranda in the morning and then I went to the Bee House and Mt. Joy in the evening. I alternated the locations and times for three days. In order to identify the butterflies in a precise way, I would catch them with a butterfly net and then use my reference material to correctly identify them. Along with identifying them, I would note where they were at the time of capture. From my experience, the butterflies around the stream house and the veranda never really landed on anything, they just flew around, so I had to catch them (though a few of the butterflies did land on the plumeria tree by the veranda). The butterflies at the other locations were easier to identify because they would land on the flowers or plants long enough for me to identify them. The butterflies that I identified were fairly consistent in species composition in the areas at which they stayed. I found that most of the butterflies were found on the trail to the right of the veranda that heads down to the big fig tree. The ones found on the trail consisted of a variety of different species, as opposed to some of the other locations that contained only a few different species. Mt. Joy appeared to be the best place to view the Caribbean Buckeye and the only place to find the Hall’s Sulphurs. The Buckeyes were very plentiful there and very scarce in the other locations. The Great Southern White and the Cloudless Sulphur were very numerous all over the plantation and from what I have observed by traveling over the island, they occur in all types of habitat.

  • Schaus' Swallowtail
    Bring this image to life: Schaus’ Swallowtail see reverse side for details Heraclides aristodemus ponceanus Florida Museum 3D Butterfly Cards Inspiring people to care about life on earth The critically endangered Schaus’ Swallowtail (Heraclides aristodemus ponceanus) is a large, iconic butterfly found in South Florida. Historically, the butterfly inhabited dense upland forests called tropical hardwood hammocks from the greater Miami area south through the Florida Keys. Habitat loss and fragmentation over the past century have led to severe population declines and range reductions. Today, Schaus’ Swallowtail is restricted to only a few remaining sites in the northern Florida Keys, making it one of the rarest butterflies in the U.S. and our only federally listed swallowtail. Although small numbers occur on Key Largo, the main population resides on islands in Biscayne National Park. Because recent surveys indicate extremely small numbers of butterflies throughout its range, the risk of extinction is thought to be very high. Collaborative conservation and recovery efforts are underway for the Schaus’ Swallowtail. They include regular population monitoring, captive breeding, organism reintroduction and habitat restoration. • Download the Libraries of Life app from the iTunes or Android store and install on your device. • Launch the app and select the Florida Museum icon. • Hold your mobile device camera about 6 inches away from card image. • View specimen and click buttons to view content.

  • 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.

  • Annotated Checklist of the Butterflies of Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State
    AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES (LEPIDOPTERA: RHOPALOCERA) OF BENTSEN-RIO GRANDE STATE VALLEY PARK AND VICINITY JUNE, 1974 Published by TEXAS PARKS & WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT BENTSEN-RIO GRANDE VALLEY STATE PARK P.O. 30X 988; MISSION, TEXAS 78572 INTRODUCTION The species listed here in are primarily a result of the collecting by the authors during the period 1972-1973. Certain important records of the previous several years are also included. Additionally, the checklist incorporates records of a number of other lepidopterists. The primary focus of the checklist, then, is upon recent collecting, rather than being an attempt to list all known records from the Mid-Valley area. All lepidopterists collecting in the park and vicinity are urged to send copies of their records to the authors and/or the park authorities. A number of species on the list have been taken in Hidalgo Co. but not yet within the actual confines of the park; the annotations will indicate which species these are. Some of these have been taken at Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, approximately thirty miles down river, in habitats similar to those within the park. Others have been taken within several miles of the park, in nearby towns and along roadsides. These species can be reasonably expected to occur in the park, and their inclusion upon this list should alert the collector to their possible presence. The annotations have been kept necessarily brief. They are intended to aid the visiting lepidopterist in evaluating the significance of his catches. Local larval food plants are given where known. Much, however, is still to be learned regarding the life histories of even some of the commoner species.

Its nearest neighbors are Anguilla, about 80 statute miles (127 km} across the Anegada Passage to the east-southeast and Virgin Gorda, about 13 miles (21 km} due south. Whereas the Virgin Islands are generally mountainous, Anegada reaches perhaps 18 ' above mean sea level and much of the island is considerably lower (D 'Arcy, 1975}. It is about 10 miles (16 km} in length, about 15 square miles (39 km'} in area, oriented along the east-west axis and is just over 2 miles (3.5 km} across the widest point (Fig. 16}. From the south coast and into the Anegada Passage to the southeast extends the Horseshoe Reef, long a hazard to navigation.

[email protected]. RESUMEN. El Psilido Asiático de los Cítricos actualmente es la principal plaga de la citricultura en el mundo por ser vector de la bacteria Candidatus liberobacter que ocasiona el Huanglongbing. Tanto adultos como ninfas de cuarto y quinto instar pueden ser vectores de esta enfermedad por lo que su control es básico para minimizar este problema. Se realizó esta investigación para conocer el comportamiento de los estados inmaduros de la plaga a varias alternativas químicas de control. El análisis de los datos de mortalidad muestra que las poblaciones de Diaphorina tratadas con: clorpirifós, dimetoato, clotianidin, dinotefurán, thiametoxan, endosulfán, imidacloprid, lambdacialotrina, zetacipermetrina, y lambdacialotrina registraron mortalidades superiores al 85%. Por otra parte, las poblaciones tratadas con: pymetrozine (pyridine azomethines) y spirotetramat (regulador de crecimiento de la síntesis de lípidos) a las dosis evaluadas no presentaron efecto tóxico por contacto o efecto fumigante sobre la población antes mencionada. Palabras Clave: psílido, Diaphorina citri, ninfas, insecticidas. ABSTRACT. The Asian Citrus Psyllid, vector of Candidatus Liberobacter, bacteria that causes Huanglongbing disease, is currently the major pest of citrus in the world. Both, adults and nymphs of fourth and fifth instar can be vectors this pathogen, and therefore their control is essential to prevent increase and spread of disease. This research was carried out to evaluate the biological response of the immature stages of the pest to several chemical alternatives.
