The nymphalid butterfly genus Junonia has remarkable dispersal abilities. Occurring on
every continent except Europe and Antarctica, Junonia are often among the only butterflies …

The relative importance of dispersal and vicariance in the diversification of taxa has been
much debated. Within butterflies, a few studies published so far have demonstrated vicariant …

The origins, evolutionary history and diversification of the Australian butterfly fauna are
poorly known and uncertain. Two competing hypotheses have been proposed to explain the …

The world's largest butterfly genus Delias, commonly known as Jezebels, comprises ca. 251
species found throughout Asia, Australia, and Melanesia. Most species are endemic to …

The Neotropics harbour the most diverse flora and fauna on Earth. The Andes are a major
centre of diversification and source of diversity for adjacent areas in plants and vertebrates …

Never before have we had the luxury of choosing a continent, picking a large phylogenetic
group of animals, and obtaining genomic data for its every species. Here, we sequence all …

Butterflies are a diverse and charismatic insect group that are thought to have evolved with
plants and dispersed throughout the world in response to key geological events. However …

The use of DNA sequence data often leads to the recognition of cryptic species within
putatively well‐known taxa. The opposite case, detecting less diversity than originally …

Nucleotide sequence data from a segment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase
subunit I (COI) gene, known as the barcode segment, were used to examine phylogenetic …

Butterflies are a diverse and charismatic insect group that are thought to have diversified via
coevolution with plants and in response to dispersals following key geological events. These …
