Phylogenetic and biogeographic evidence suggests an origin in remnant Gondwana in the Late Cretaceous Michael F. BrabyA,B,D, John W. H.

DCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] The age, geographic origin and time of major radiation of the butterflies (Hesperioidea + Papilionoidea + Hedyloidea) are largely unknown. The general modern view is that butterflies arose during the Late Jurassic/Cretaceous in the southern hemisphere (southern Pangea/Gondwana before continental breakup), but this is not universally accepted, and is a best guess based largely on circumstantial evidence. The extreme paucity of fossils and lack of modern, robust, higher-level phylogenies of extant monophyletic groups have been major impediments towards determining reliable estimates of either their age or geographic origin. Here we present a phylogenetic and historical biogeographic analysis of a higher butterfly taxon, the swallowtail tribe Troidini. We analysed molecular data for three protein-encoding genes, mitochondrial ND5 and COI–COII, and nuclear EF–1α, both separately and in combination using maximum parsimony (with and without character weighting and transition/transversion weighting), maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods. Our sample included representatives of all 10 genera of Troidini and distant ingroup taxa (Baroniinae, Parnassiinae, Graphiini, Papilionini), with Pieridae as outgroup.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,
  • Lizard Predation on Tropical Butterflies

    Lizard Predation on Tropical Butterflies

    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Societ!J 36(2), 1982, 148-152 LIZARD PREDATION ON TROPICAL BUTTERFLIES PAUL R EHRLICH AND ANNE H, EHRLICH Deparhnent of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305 ABSTRACT. Iguanid lizards at Iguac;u Falls, Brazil appear to make butterflies a major component of their diets. They both stalk sitting individuals and leap into the air to capture ones in flight. Butterfly species seem to be attacked differentially. These observations support the widespread assumption that lizards can be involved as selec­ tive agents in the evolution of butterfly color patterns and behavior. Butterflies have been prominent in the development of ideas about protective and warning coloration and mimicry (e.g., Cott, 1940; J. Brower, 1958; M. Rothschild, 1972), and the dynamics of natural pop­ ulations (Ford & Ford, 1930; Ehrlich et aI., 1975). In spite of the crucial role that predation on adults must play in evolution of defen­ sive coloration and may play in population dynamics, there is re­ markably little information on predation on adult butterflies in nature. This lack is all the more striking, considering the large numbers of people who collect butterflies and the abundant indirect evidence from bird beak and lizard jaw marks on butterfly wings (e.g., Carpen­ ter, 1937; Shapiro, 1974) that adult butterflies are quite frequently attacked. Published field observations of predation on butterflies deal almost exclusively with the attacks of birds and consist largely of accounts of individual attacks (Fryer, 1913). Observations of natural predation by lizards are very rare, although "birds and lizards have long been considered to be the major selective agents responsible for the ex­ treme diversity of unpalatable and mimetic forms of butterflies in nature" (Boyden, 1976).

The paper used butterflies of the family Papilionidae as a model system for testing evolutionary hypotheses, and included a revision of the Papilionidae of the region, as well as the description of some 20 new species. Wallace argued that the Papilionidae were the most advanced butterflies, against some of his colleagues such as Bates and Trimen who had claimed that the Nymphalidae were more advanced because of their possession of vestigial forelegs. In a very important section, Wallace laid out what is perhaps the clearest Darwinist definition of the differences between species, geographic subspecies, and local ‘varieties.’ He also discussed the relationship of these taxonomic categories to what is now termed ‘reproductive isolation.’ While accepting reproductive isolation as a cause of species, he rejected it as a definition. Instead, species were recognized as forms that overlap spatially and lack intermediates. However, this morphological distinctness argument breaks down for discrete polymorphisms, and Wallace clearly emphasised the conspecificity of non-mimetic males and female Batesian mimetic morphs in Papilio polytes, and also in P.

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’

    57. Accident Prevention Plan INTRODUCTION Like Everything Else in a Farm Enterprise, Health and Security Must Be Managed

    Wild Blueberry in a Context of Production Guide... Sustainable Development 57. Accident Prevention Plan INTRODUCTION Like everything else in a farm enterprise, health and security must be managed. This means dedicating a certain amount of time to these concerns, and emphasizing teamwork. The employer must show that he cares about accident prevention, and employees must be involved in fi nding causes and solutions. BILL C-21 AND EMPLOYER OBLIGATIONS In force since March 31, 2004, the Act to amend the Criminal Code of Canada (Bill C-21) included substantial changes with regard to health and safety in the workplace. Employers are now subject to criminal proceedings after a serious accident if measures were not in place to protect the health and safety of workers. In fact, anyone who manages or supervises one or more workers must show that health and safety obligations are respected, taking all reasonable precautions to prevent bodily injury due to accident. Bill C-21 reinforces the Québec Act respecting Occupational health and safety (see References), which stipulates that every worker has a right to working conditions that have proper regard for his health, safety and physical well-being (section 9). The employer thus has an obligation to take whatever measures are necessary to protect the health and safety of workers (section 51). He must ensure that risks are eliminated at the source by organizing the workplace in a safe manner and by training workers on safe techniques and procedures. He is also obligated to provide individual protection equipment, free of charge, and to require workers to use it.

    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.
