2021 US Dollars Butterfly Pupae To the Butterfly Keeper January 2021 2021 Butterfly Pupae Supplies Happy New Year, thank you for downloading our 2021 US$ pupae price list and forms. Last year was a challenge for everyone and the damage caused by the pandemic to the Butterfly trade was considerable. Many facilities were forced to close their doors to the public and therefore received no income. We ourselves had to shut for seven months out of twelve and as I write in January there is no sign of us being allowed to open in the next two months at least. This hardship has been multiplied in the situation of our suppliers as they have no government support. IABES did manage to get some financial support to them during the first extensive lockdown but spread over many breeders it could not replace the income they get from their pupae. Along with problems here and at source the airline industry is really struggling and getting what pupae we can use, onto a suitable flight has caused us many a sleepless night telephoning Asia at one extreme and South America at the other. However, we trust that we will come out of this global problem and be able revert to normal sometime during the spring. We still guarantee that all our pupae conform to all international standards and comply with all current legislation. We have a system in place that gets pupae to US houses in an efficient manner. We have had a very small price increase this year mainly because of increased airfreight costs. We will continue to offer discounted pupae when our breeders produce a significant amount of a particular species. Look out for this on our weekly list. Also, we will now discount bulk orders of two Caligo species C. memnon and C. eurilochus by 30c when 50 or more are ordered. As ever there are several ways to order; You can simply fill out the enclosed forms and post or email them to us. If you prefer to order off our weekly availability list, then we can email it to you if we have your email address. Or you can find it at www.butterflyfarm.co.uk/faxspecies.html We post our new list around 2pm UK time every Friday afternoon. There is also the option to buy via the website www.tropicalbutterflypupae.com Please be aware that 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. Please note that we do have a minimum order of 100 pupae, as any less is uneconomic for us to ship. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any clarification or help with your orders. Let us all hope that 2021 will eventually turn out be a safe and prosperous year for us all.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Kogyae Strict Nature Reserve, the only one in Ghana, was established to promote scientific re- search, particularly on how nature revitalizes itself after major disasters, and also to check the southward drift of the savannah grassland. This study presents the first comprehensive inventory of species composition and diversity of insects of the Reserve. Insects were surveyed between September 2011 and June 2012 to capture the end of the rainy season, the dry season and the peak of the wet season. Samples were taken from two sites within the Reserve, Dagomba and Oku using various sampling techniques including pitfall traps, malaise traps and sweep nets. Insect com- munities were characterized in terms of, 1) species richness estimators, 2) species richness, 3) Shannon-Weiner Index of Diversity, 4) Pielou’s evenness and 5) Bray-Curtis similarity.

  • New Method of Reducing Aero Acoustical Noise for a Quiet Propeller

    New Method of Reducing Aero Acoustical Noise for a Quiet Propeller

    Journal of Engineering Mechanics and Machinery (2019) Vol. 4: 1-28 DOI: 10.23977/jemm.2019.41001 Clausius Scientific Press, Canada ISSN 2371-9133 ‘Butterfly acoustical skin’ – new method of reducing aero acoustical noise for a quiet propeller Igor S. Kovalev Science and Technology Laboratory, Kinneret College, Emek Hayarden, 15132, Israel Correspondence: [email protected] Keywords: ‘butterfly acoustical skin’, moth, noise reduction, porous scales, propeller. Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted on the effect ‘butterfly acoustical skin’ (metallic version of the lepidopterans scale coverage) on the acoustic performances of two - bladed propeller (diameter of 1200 mm, airfoil sections of NACA 2415, rotating speed of 1780 rpm, Re ≈ 2 × 105) in a low – speed straight through a wind tunnel. Attention was initially directed to this problem by observation of the porous scales and porous scale coverage of lepidopterans as well as other studies indicating the noise suppression of flying lepidopterans by wing appendages. The property of the moth coverage allows these insects to overcome bat attacks at night. These appendages are very small (size: 30 – 200 µm) and have a various porous structures. I discuss both many different micro – and nanostructures of the porous scales, and many differences in details among various structures of the porous scale coverage of lepidonterans. I consider here only porous scales of butterflies Papilio nireus, Nieris rapae, Deelias nigrina, male Callophrys rubi, male Polyommatus daphnis, butterfly Papilio palinurus as well as porous scale coverage of cabbage moth, moth of Saturniidae family and moth of Noctuoidea family. The evolutionary history of lepidopterans and the properties of lepidopterans scale coverage are briefly discussed as well as different methods of reducing aero acoustic noise of aircrafts.
  • The Genetics and Evolution of Iridescent Structural Colour in Heliconius Butterflies

    The Genetics and Evolution of Iridescent Structural Colour in Heliconius Butterflies

    The genetics and evolution of iridescent structural colour in Heliconius butterflies Melanie N. Brien A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Science Department of Animal & Plant Sciences Submission Date August 2019 1 2 Abstract The study of colouration has been essential in developing key concepts in evolutionary biology. The Heliconius butterflies are well-studied for their diverse aposematic and mimetic colour patterns, and these pigment colour patterns are largely controlled by a small number of homologous genes. Some Heliconius species also produce bright, highly reflective structural colours, but unlike pigment colour, little is known about the genetic basis of structural colouration in any species. In this thesis, I aim to explore the genetic basis of iridescent structural colour in two mimetic species, and investigate its adaptive function. Using experimental crosses between iridescent and non-iridescent subspecies of Heliconius erato and Heliconius melpomene, I show that iridescent colour is a quantitative trait by measuring colour variation in offspring. I then use a Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) mapping approach to identify loci controlling the trait in the co-mimics, finding that the genetic basis is not the same in the two species. In H. erato, the colour is strongly sex-linked, while in H. melpomene, we find a large effect locus on chromosome 3, plus a number of putative small effect loci in each species. Therefore, iridescence in Heliconius is not an example of repeated gene reuse. I then show that both iridescent colour and pigment colour are sexually dimorphic in H.
  • Chapter 1 Introduction and Literature Review

    Chapter 1 Introduction and Literature Review

    Chapter 1 Introduction and literature review Nature has always been an invaluable source of inspiration for technological progress. Great scientific revolutions were started by the work of men such as Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei, who were able to learn from nature and apply their knowledge most effectively. The process of transferring the ingenious solutions evolved by some species into engineered devices is now an established and autonomous discipline known as biomimetics. Due to advances in the fabrication technologies of nanometer-scale optical devices, biomimetics has expanded into the field of non-classical optics. This gives an opportunity for engineers and zoologists to learn from nature in a mu- tually beneficial partnership. Engineers can draw inspiration from the ways in which Nature produces fascinating optical effects and zoologists can apply the quantitative theoretical methods developed in optical engineering to understand the phenomenology of their specimens. The development of expertise brought about by this interaction has already resulted in commercially available products. The surface of some optical discs for data storage and certain surface-relief vol- ume phase holograms share the designs and functionality of the microstructures found in the eye of moths and on the wings of butterflies. 1 Visual appearance is one of the areas in which nature has evolved smart optical solutions. Through interference of light reflected or diffracted by minute features, many organisms are able to generate structural colour. Different optical effects are generated by arrangements of biomaterial on the surface of various organisms. Amongst the many examples of structural colour found in nature, the beauty of the intense chromatic display of butterflies has strongly captured the interest of researchers.

Ecosphere 4(3):36. http://dx.doi. org/10.1890/ES12-00338.1 Abstract. Temporal variation and phenology of tropical insect communities and the role of environmental factors controlling this variation is poorly understood. A better understanding is needed, for example, to predict the effects of climate change on tropical insect communities and to assess the long- term persistence of tropical communities. We studied seasonal and inter-annual variation in tropical fruit- feeding butterflies by exploiting a unique 137-month abundance time series of .100 species, sampled at 22 locations in the medium altitude montane rain forest of Kibale National Park, western Uganda. Precipitation peaked twice per year, about 20 d after each equinox. Vegetation greenness peaked approximately 33 d later. Species richness and abundance of butterflies peaked about 2 and 3 months, respectively, after the greenness peak.

    Ciclo De Vida De Las Especies Caligo Memno (Lepidóptera: Brassolinae) Y Heliconius Ismenius (Lepidóptera: Heliconinae) Bajo Condiciones Controladas

    Ciclo de vida de las especies Caligo memno (Lepidóptera: Brassolinae) y Heliconius ismenius (Lepidóptera: Heliconinae) bajo condiciones controladas Karla J. Cantarero*, Oscar M. Canales*, Aaron A. Mendoza*, Luis B. Martínez* RESUMEN Honduras es un país con mucha diversidad de mariposas diurnas y nocturnas; su singularidad, belleza y colorido nos lleva a trabajar estos insectos como un recurso forestal no maderable promisorio que se puede implementar en el país debido a su alta biodiversidad, la cual ha sido subvalorada. La presente investigación trata acerca del estudio del ciclo de vida de Heliconius ismenius (Lepidóptera: Nymphalidae: Heliconinae) y de Caligo memnon (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Brassolinae), realizado en la ciudad de Tegucigalpa, específicamente en el laboratorio de entomología y el Mariposarío ¨Anartia¨ de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras. Durante la cría también se registraron aspectos de la biología y etología de ambas especies, como son: requerimientos alimenticios, migración, tiempo invertido en la alimentación, crecimiento, entre otros. El método aplicado se basó en el marco general que se ha usado para la implementación de zoocriaderos de lepidópteros, que selecciona un número reducido de individuos (pie de cría para cada especie) de alguna fuente para comenzar con el proceso. Durante este proceso se determinó que la especie Caligo memnon se adaptó muy bien a las condiciones, por el contrario se cree que el ciclo de vida de Heliconius ismenius se vio interrumpido por las condiciones ambientales en ese momento. Ambas especies se adaptan muy bien a condiciones de laboratorio y de campo pero con algunas diferencias en cuanto al tiempo de crecimiento, ya que en la etapa de laboratorio se vio una leve diferencia en cuanto al tiempo de crecimiento no así en la etapa de campo.
  • The Speciation History of Heliconius: Inferences from Multilocus DNA Sequence Data

    The Speciation History of Heliconius: Inferences from Multilocus DNA Sequence Data

    The speciation history of Heliconius: inferences from multilocus DNA sequence data by Margarita Sofia Beltrán A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London September 2004 Department of Biology University College London 1 Abstract Heliconius butterflies, which contain many intermediate stages between local varieties, geographic races, and sympatric species, provide an excellent biological model to study evolution at the species boundary. Heliconius butterflies are warningly coloured and mimetic, and it has been shown that these traits can act as a form of reproductive isolation. I present a species-level phylogeny for this group based on 3834bp of mtDNA (COI, COII, 16S) and nuclear loci (Ef1α, dpp, ap, wg). Using these data I test the geographic mode of speciation in Heliconius and whether mimicry could drive speciation. I found little evidence for allopatric speciation. There are frequent shifts in colour pattern within and between sister species which have a positive and significant correlation with species diversity; this suggests that speciation is facilitated by the evolution of novel mimetic patterns. My data is also consistent with the idea that two major innovations in Heliconius, adult pollen feeding and pupal-mating, each evolved only once. By comparing gene genealogies from mtDNA and introns from nuclear Tpi and Mpi genes, I investigate recent speciation in two sister species pairs, H. erato/H. himera and H. melpomene/H. cydno. There is highly significant discordance between genealogies of the three loci, which suggests recent speciation with ongoing gene flow. Finally, I explore the phylogenetic relationships between races of H. melpomene using an AFLP band tightly linked to the Yb colour pattern locus (which determines the yellow bar in the hindwing).
