North American Admiral butterflies (genus Limenitis) have been the subjects of intense study for well over a century. Interest in this group stems largely from the observation that both wing pattern mimicry and hybridization are unusually common within this closely related complex of butterflies. Historically, this group has played a significant role in several traditional areas of evolutionary biology including the development of theoretical views on wing pattern evolution, mimicry, and the origins of species boundaries. Despite long standing interest in this group of butterflies, no previous molecular work has investigated patterns of relationships within this genus or addressed fundamental questions about the origins of mimicry and gene flow among closely related wing pattern races. To gain a better understanding of the role that wing pattern diversity has played in the history of speciation in this group, I have used phylogenetic, phylogeographic, and population genetic approaches to untangle the evolutionary history of this group. Here I show that the Neartic Admirals are derived from a single invasion from the Paleartic and are most closely related to the ubiquitous Poplar Admiral (L. populi). In addition, I document the species-level relationships among the North American forms and suggest that an ancestral host-plant switch from species of honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.) to tree species of Salicaceae facilitated the colonization of the Neartic and may have played a significant role in the origins of mimicry in this group. In addition, evidence from an extensive mitochondrial gene genealogy indicates that the three described subspecies of the polytypic L. arthemis species complex possess unique and deeply divergent mitochondrial haplotypes. Patterns of mitochondrial haplotype sharing indicate that the southwestern subspecies, L. a. arizonensis, is reproductively isolated from the two eastern wing pattern forms (L. a. arthemis and L. a. astyanax) and that both historical and contemporary gene flow has occurred between non-mimetic (L. a. arthemis) and mimetic (L. a. astyanax) populations in the eastern United States. Furthermore, it is clear from the mitochondrial genealogy that mimicry has evolved multiple times within this complex. Finally, nuclear gene genealogies demonstrate that southwestern mimetic populations of L. a. arizonensis diverged prior to the split between the two eastern wing pattern races and that these two latter populations retain substantial shared polymorphism due to both introgression and incomplete lineage sorting. Future work will focus on both QTL and association mapping as a first step in dissecting the genetic architecture of the wing pattern polymorphism observed between mimetic and non-mimetic populations of these butterflies.

The renowned German reference work The Handbuch der Zoologie/Handbook of Zoology was founded in the 1920's by Professor Willi Kükenthal in Berlin and treated the complete animal kingdom from single cell organisms to mammals in eight thematic volumes: Volume I Protozoa, Porifera, Colenteratea, Mesozoa (1925); Volume II Worms (1933/34); Volume III Arthropoda ex. Insecta (1927/1932); Volume IV Arthopoda: Insecta; Volume V Solenogastres, Mollusca, Echinoderma (1925); Volume VI Pisces / Amphibia (1930); Volume VII Reptilia / Aves (1931); Volume VIII Mammalia. The Volumes Insecta (Eds. N.P. Kristensen, R.G. Beutel) and Mammalia (Eds. M.S. Fischer, H. Schliemann) continued publication into the present with the most recent contributions in English language. Covering nearly 100 years of zoological research, the Handbook of Zoology represents a vast store of knowledge. But with the speed of scientific discovery in the past decades, a new edition of the Handbook in a new form is required. Beginning in 2010 the Handbook of Zoology will be restructured and offered additionally as a database (Zoology Online) which can be easily searched and rapidly updated. The eight thematic volumes will be replaced with smaller and more flexible groupings that reflect the current state of phylogenetic knowledge. Faster publication times through online-prepublication, reference linking, forward linking and multimedia presentations will make the Handbook of Zoology highly attractive to both authors and users. Aims and Scope The Handbook of Zoology aims to provide an in depth treatment of the entire animal kingdom from the lower invertebrates to the mammals. It publishes comprehensive overviews on animal systematics

The first list to cover the entire European fauna of butterflies and moths since the famous "Staudinger-Rebel Catalogue" which was published as long ago as in 1901. A large number of European specialists have been working on the family/subfamily treatments, and the list has been checked by leading experts in the national faunas. The higher classification used in the checklist is in accordance with the most recent research as it will be presented in the forthcoming treatment of Lepidoptera in the series "Handbook of Zoology". Hopefully the list will lead to uniformity in the systematics and nomenclature used in European lepidopterology! Besides being a checklist, "The Lepidoptera of Europe" also indicates in table form, in which of the European countries each species has been recorded. "The Lepidoptera of Europe" contains more than 8.300 species known to occur in Europe and the distributional tables have approximately 74.000 records! "The Lepidoptera of Europe" will be an indispensable tool for anyone working with the European fauna of any group of Lepidoptera. Lists the about 8,300 species with about 74,000 country records from Europe. Incl. CD-Rom.

This book facilitates an integrative understanding of the development, genetics and evolution of butterfly wing patterns. To develop a deep and realistic understanding of the diversity and evolution of butterfly wing patterns, it is essential and necessary to approach the problem from various kinds of key research fields such as “evo-devo,” “eco-devo,” ”developmental genetics,” “ecology and adaptation,” “food plants,” and “theoretical modeling.” The past decade-and-a-half has seen a veritable revolution in our understanding of the development, genetics and evolution of butterfly wing patterns. In addition, studies of how environmental and climatic factors affect the expression of color patterns has led to increasingly deeper understanding of the pervasiveness and underlying mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity. In recognition of the great progress in research on the biology, an international meeting titled “Integrative Approach to Understanding the Diversity of Butterfly Wing Patterns (IABP-2016)” was held at Chubu University, Japan in August 2016. This book consists of selected contributions from the meeting. Authors include main active researchers of new findings of corresponding genes as well as world leaders in both experimental and theoretical approaches to wing color patterns. The book provides excellent case studies for graduate and undergraduate classes in evolution, genetics/genomics, developmental biology, ecology, biochemistry, and also theoretical biology, opening the door to a new era in the integrative approach to the analysis of biological problems.

Butterfly Wing Patterns and Mimicry, Volume 54, provides an essential reference for those interested in molecular Entomology and the study of natural selection. The volume spans work on the genetics of polymorphism in Heliconius butterflies through to a detailed analysis of the role of CRISPR-CAS in dissecting wing patterning. The volume covers both the evolution and fine scale development of both pattern and pigmentation. The role of wing shape is also considered for the first time in a formal analysis. It should be of interest to both experts and students interested in Entomology and its application to fundamental questions in evolution. - Expertise of the contributors, topics, illustrations

Butterfly wing color patterns may indicate sex or distastefulness, may mimic other organisms, may act as camouflage, or they may confuse predators. Most species may be identified by their color patterns alone. Furthermore, the dorsal and ventral patterns may be very different and each has evolved separately. These patterns are not random but are homologous units which can be identified in all species. The patterns are permutations of the nymphalid ground plan. This book describes the elucidation of these homologies based on comparative morphology, genetics, and theoretical modelling. The book is supplemented by line-drawings, diagrams, photographs, charts, tables, graphs, three appendices: "Classification and systematics of the Butterflies", "Higher Classification of the Nymphalidae", and a list of genera in the figures in chapter 2 ("Pattern Elements and Homologies"), a bibliography and an index.--BIOSIS.
