نویسنده
چکیده
A checklist of butterflies of the genus Junonia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) of Pakistan is presented with a new record for Pakistan i.e. Junonia (Precis) atlites. In total six species of genus Junonia are recorded from Pakistan. A key to the butterfly species of the genus Junonia of Pakistan and their distribution is given.

Mitochondrial chromosome as a marker of animal migratory routes: DNA barcoding revealed Asian (non-African) origin of a tropical migrant butterfly Junonia orithya in south Israel
The blue pansy Junonia orithya Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) is widely distributed along the tropical areas of Africa, Asia and Australia. It is also known as a migrant species in the Levant. Here we record Junonia orithya in south Israel and provide a DNA-barcode-based evidence for its Asian (non-African) origin.
متن کاملIllumina based whole mitochondrial genome of Junonia iphita reveals minor intraspecific variation
In the present study, the near complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Junonia iphita (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Nymphalinae) was determined to be 14,892 bp. The gene order and orientation are identical to those in other butterfly species. The phylogenetic tree constructed from the whole mitogenomes using the 13 protein coding genes (PCGs) defines the genetic relatedness of the two J. iph...
متن کاملInsights into Population Origins of Neotropical Junonia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Nymphalinae) Based on Mitochondrial DNA
Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences were used to estimate demographic histories of populations of the buckeye butterfly Junonia genoveva (Cramer) from Costa Rica and Mexico. Previous studies have revealed significant structure between populations of J. genoveva from coastal regions of northwestern Mexico, which utilize black mangrove Avicennia germinans (Acanthaceae) as a larval host...
متن کاملImmunological cost of chemical defence and the evolution of herbivore diet breadth.
Selective pressures from host plant chemistry and natural enemies may contribute independently to driving insect herbivores towards narrow diet breadths. We used the specialist caterpillar, Junonia coenia (Nymphalidae), which sequesters defensive compounds, iridoid glycosides, from its host plants to assess the effects of plant chemistry and sequestration on the larval immune response. A series...
متن کاملPhenotypic plasticity in seedling defense strategies: compensatory growth and chemical induction
Phenotypic plasticity in growth (leading to compensation) and secondary chemical production (leading to induction) in response to herbivory are key defense strategies in adult plants, but their role in seedling defense remains unclear. A pair of greenhouse studies was conducted to investigate compensation and induction in seedlings and juvenile plants, using Plantago lanceolata (Plantaginaceae)...
