Effects of Duration and Timing of Heat Stress on Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) Development
Exposure to temperatures above 29?C has been shown to be detrimental to the de velopment of Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus L.) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) larvae, while it has been assumed that temperatures above 33? are lethal. However, the details of larval sensitiv ity to high temperatures are not clearly understood. We examined the effects of different lengths and timing of high-tempera...
متن کاملHistory of tachinid classification (Diptera, Tachinidae)
The history of the classification of the Tachinidae (Diptera) is traced from Meigen to the present. The contributions of Robineau-Desvoidy, Townsend, Villeneuve, Mesnil, Herting, Wood and many others are discussed within a chronological, taxonomic, and geographic context. The gradual development of the Tachinidae into its modern concept as a family of the Oestroidea and the emergence of the cla...
متن کاملDNA Barcodes for the Northern European Tachinid Flies (Diptera: Tachinidae)
This data release provides COI barcodes for 366 species of parasitic flies (Diptera: Tachinidae), enabling the DNA based identification of the majority of northern European species and a large proportion of Palearctic genera, regardless of the developmental stage. The data will provide a tool for taxonomists and ecologists studying this ecologically important but challenging parasitoid family. ...
متن کاملComplete mitochondrial genome recovered from the gut metagenome of overwintering monarch butterflies, Danaus plexippus (L.) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae, Danainae).
We present a 15,314 bp mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence from monarch butterflies overwintering in Mexico. The complete mitogenome was generated by next generation sequencing techniques and was reconstructed by iterative assembly of reads from a metagenomic study of pooled butterfly gut DNA. The mitogenome codes for 13 putative protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, the large and small r...
متن کاملColor vision and learning in the monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus (Nymphalidae).
The monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, is well known for its intimate association with milkweed plants and its incredible multi-generational trans-continental migrations. However, little is known about monarch butterflies' color perception or learning ability, despite the importance of visual information to butterfly behavior in the contexts of nectar foraging, host-plant location and mate re...
