DNA barcodes identify Central Asian Colias butterflies (Lepidoptera, Pieridae)
A majority of the known Colias species (Lepidoptera: Pieridae, Coliadinae) occur in the mountainous regions of Central-Asia, vast areas that are hard to access, rendering the knowledge of many species limited due to the lack of extensive sampling. Two gene regions, the mitochondrial COI 'barcode' region and the nuclear ribosomal protein RpS2 gene region were used for exploring the utility of th...
متن کاملMolecular Studies of Seven Species of Butterflies (lepidoptera: Pieridae) through Rapd-pcr Technique
In present investigations molecular characterization of seven Pieridae butterflies was carried out using four RAPD markers. A total 57 bands were scored with four decamer primers of which 57 were polymorphic and the percentage of polymorphism was 100%. Genus specific bands have been observed i.e. a band of 818bp with primer 12 & 520bp with primer OPP-5. Dendrogram constructed using the NTSYSspc...
متن کاملThe phylogenetics and biochemistry of host-plant specialization in Melitaeine butterflies (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae).
Butterflies in the tribe Melitaeini (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) are known to utilize host plants belonging to 16 families, although most host-plant records are from four families. Of the 16 host-plant families, 12 produce secondary plant metabolites called iridoids. Earlier studies have shown that larvae of several melitaeine species use iridoids as feeding stimulants and sequester these compoun...
متن کاملEdible Lepidoptera in Mexico: Geographic distribution, ethnicity, economic and nutritional importance for rural people
In this paper, we reported the butterflies and moths that are consumed in Mexico. We identified 67 species of Lepidoptera that are eaten principally in their larval stage in 17 states of Mexico. These species belong to 16 families: Arctiidae, Bombycidae, Castniidae, Cossidae, Geometridae, Hepialidae, Hesperiidae, Lasiocampidae, Noctuidae, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Pyralidae, Saturnii...
متن کاملPlant microRNAs in larval food regulate honeybee caste development
The major environmental determinants of honeybee caste development come from larval nutrients: royal jelly stimulates the differentiation of larvae into queens, whereas beebread leads to worker bee fate. However, these determinants are not fully characterized. Here we report that plant RNAs, particularly miRNAs, which are more enriched in beebread than in royal jelly, delay development and decr...
