Larval Morph Variation in Chlosyne Lacinia (nymphalidae)
Mature larvae of the patch butterfly, Chlosyne lacinia (Geyer), exhibit striking color polymorphism. First described by T. D. A. Cockerell in Edwards (1893) and illustrated by Neck et aI. (1971), the three morphs are as follows: rufa, an all orange or orange-red form; nigra, an all black form; and bicolor, a form basically black as in nigra but with a prominent mid-dorsal row of orange to orang...
متن کاملSpeyeria (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) Conservation
Speyeria (Nymphalidae) are a conspicuous component of the North American butterfly fauna. There are approximately 16 species and >100 associated subspecies (or geographical variants). Speyeria are univoltine, occupy a wide range of habitats, overwinter as first instar larvae, and feed only on native violets. Speyeria species have become a model group for studies of evolution, speciation, and co...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of the sunflower caterpillar (Chlosyne lacinia saundersii Doubleday and Hewitson) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) populations determined by molecular RAPD markers.
Chlosyne lacinia saundersii is one of the most important pests of sunflower and it is the main target of insecticides applications. Larvae were collected in Londrina (PR), Santa Maria (RS), Dourados (MS), Ribeirão Preto (SP), Brasília (DF), Barreiras (BA), Uberaba (MG) and Vilhena (RO). Genomic DNA was extracted and amplified with ten-mer primers, which produced 101 loci. The size of the RAPD a...
متن کاملPhylogeny of the Nymphalidae (Lepidoptera).
A generic-level phylogeny for the butterfly family Nymphalidae was produced by cladistic analysis of 234 characters from all life stages. The 95 species in the matrix (selected from the 213 studied) represent all important recognized lineages within this family. The analysis showed the taxa grouping into six main lineages. The basal branch is the Libytheinae, with the Danainae and Ithomiinae on...
متن کاملMosquito Feeding Affects Larval Behaviour and Development in a Moth
Organisms are attacked by different natural enemies present in their habitat. While enemies such as parasitoids and predators will kill their hosts/preys when they successfully attack them, enemies such as micropredators will not entirely consume their prey. However, they can still have important consequences on the performance and ecology of the prey, such as reduced growth, increased emigrati...
