Abfitract. Unusual life history of bagworms (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), with sessile females completing their reproductive activity within a self-constnicted bag, provides an oppominity to evaluate factors infiuencing lifetime reproductive success. Sarnpiing and experimental studies conducted in plantations of oii palms investigated density-dependent processes and life history traits that affect reproductive success and population dynamics of 2 allopatric bagworms, Oiketicu~kirbyi in Costa Rica and itlefisuplmu in Southest Asia. Simiiar within- and between-plant distribution of M. plana in parental and offspring generations indicated that emergent larvae commonly do not disperse, suggesting that local populations of bagworm exhibit high level of genetic relatedness. Density- and defoliation-dependent dispersal by larvd M. plana contributes to their reproductive success, because larvae on crowded palms attain srnail size at pupûtion, and smali bagworms have low survival during pupal stage (male and female M. plana), mating success (female 0. kirbyi and M. pkuna) and fecundity (femde O. kirbyi and M. plana). Greater incidence of bailooning by femde than male lame rnay be due to females seeking suitable hosts for their progeny. For 0.kirbyi, mortality during pupal stage was greater for females than males; the opposite trend was obsewed for M. plana. For both O. kirbyi and M. plana, females emerged before males; protogyny may be a comrnon life history trait in bagworms that contribute to reduce inbreeding. Femde O. kirbyi produced a blend of 4 chiral esters to attmct males for mating. As previously reported for other bagworms, relatively large proportions of female O. kirbyi and M. plana did not mate as adult. Size-dependent mating success of female bagwoms may be attributed, in part, to males preferentidy mating with large, moa fecund females. Density-dependent dispersal by Iwae, as well as small size and low mating success of females on crowded palms, contribute to stabilize local populations of M. plana. Individual variations of femaie reproductive success iduenced the population dynarnics of M. pfana.

    Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 161, 64–87. With 8 figures The radiation of Satyrini butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae): a challenge for phylogenetic methods CARLOS PEÑA1,2*, SÖREN NYLIN1 and NIKLAS WAHLBERG1,3 1Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden 2Museo de Historia Natural, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Av. Arenales 1256, Apartado 14-0434, Lima-14, Peru 3Laboratory of Genetics, Department of Biology, University of Turku, 20014 Turku, Finland Received 24 February 2009; accepted for publication 1 September 2009 We have inferred the most comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis to date of butterflies in the tribe Satyrini. In order to obtain a hypothesis of relationships, we used maximum parsimony and model-based methods with 4435 bp of DNA sequences from mitochondrial and nuclear genes for 179 taxa (130 genera and eight out-groups). We estimated dates of origin and diversification for major clades, and performed a biogeographic analysis using a dispersal–vicariance framework, in order to infer a scenario of the biogeographical history of the group. We found long-branch taxa that affected the accuracy of all three methods. Moreover, different methods produced incongruent phylogenies. We found that Satyrini appeared around 42 Mya in either the Neotropical or the Eastern Palaearctic, Oriental, and/or Indo-Australian regions, and underwent a quick radiation between 32 and 24 Mya, during which time most of its component subtribes originated. Several factors might have been important for the diversification of Satyrini: the ability to feed on grasses; early habitat shift into open, non-forest habitats; and geographic bridges, which permitted dispersal over marine barriers, enabling the geographic expansions of ancestors to new environ- ments that provided opportunities for geographic differentiation, and diversification.
