Abstract:
In this review article the available information on the wing dimorphism/polymorphism occurring at non-phytophagous Heteroptera is reviewed from a functional viewpoint. This meant practically the information about the wing dimorphism/polymorphism of the superfamily Gerroidea, as hardly anything has been published on this theme of other non-phytophagous Heteroptera. Seasonal and concurrent wing dimorphism/polymorphism are treated and discussed separately. Heritability and phenotypical plasticity of the wing form, and the effects of different modifying environmental factors are briefly reviewed and discussed. The superior reproductive ability of the non-macropterous form is well documented at female gerroid bugs; there are less available data on the males. The seasonal wing polymorphism directed by photoperiod and affected by temperature is usually well adapted to the current environmental conditions. The effects of the population density and that of the food quantity and quality on wing form of the gerroid bugs have not been well understood yet; and it is arguable, whether the macropterous/non macropterous ratio of the natural gerroid populations corresponds to the temporal stability of their actual habitats in an adaptive way. Wing dimorphism/polymorphism has to be evaluated within the wider concept of dispersal polymorphism, which includes other related phenomena like wing muscle polymorphism and behavioural differences.

Abstract:
This is the second part of the article where the available information from the published literature on the wing dimorphism/polymorphism occurring among true bugs (Heteroptera) is reviewed from a functional viewpoint. This paper covers the case studies on phytophagous species and draws some general conclusions. Wing dimorphism/polymorphism has been studied in detail at the red firebug: Pyrrhocoris apterus (Linnaeus, 1758), at some blissid species - mainly at the Oriental chinch bug: Cavelerius saccharivorus (Okajima,1922) - at some lygaeid species and at the red-shouldered soapberry bug Jadera haematoloma (Herrich-Schäffer, 1847) (Rhopalidae). In general, the macropterous form has a delayed sexual maturation, which further enhances its dispersal ability but represents an obvious reproductive disadvantage. In most known cases of the hemipteran wing dimorphism/polymorphism the wing form is affected by environmental factors (polyphenism), but examples of genetically determined wing dimorphism also have been documented among Lygaeinae. Seasonal wing dimorphism/polymorphism is very common among the well-studied northern temperate species. Wing dimorphic/polymorphic phytophagous “outbreak” species (Blissidae, Leptoterna dolobrata) react with mass production of the otherwise rare macropters to high population density and altered food quality. An underlying wing muscle dimorphism/polymorphism frequently co-exists with the externally visible wing dimorphism/polymorphism. Known cases of full or partial de-alation are also mentioned and briefly discussed.

Abstract:
Many insects are capable of developing into either long-winged or short-winged (or wingless) morphs, which enables them to rapidly match heterogeneous environments. Thus, the wing polymorphism is an adaptation at the root of their ecological success. Wing polymorphism is orchestrated at various levels, starting with the insect's perception of environmental cues, then signal transduction and signal execution, and ultimately the transmitting of signals into physiological adaption in accordance with the particular morph produced. Juvenile hormone and ecdysteroid pathways have long been proposed to regulate wing polymorphism in insects, but rigorous experimental evidence is lacking. The breakthrough findings of ecdysone receptor regulation on transgenerational wing dimorphism in the aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum and of insulin signaling in the planthopper Nilaparvata lugens greatly broaden our understanding of wing polymorphism at the molecular level. Recently, the advent of high-throughput sequencing coupled with functional genomics provides powerful genetic tools for future insights into the molecular bases underlying wing polymorphism in insects.

Abstract:
Wing polymorphism contributes significantly to the success of a wide variety of insects. However, its underlying molecular mechanism is less well understood. The migratory planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens , is one of the most extensively studied insects for wing polymorphism, due to its natural features of short- and long-winged morphs. Using the BPH as an example, we first surveyed the environmental cues that possibly influence wing developmental plasticity. Second, we explained the molecular basis by which two insulin receptors (InR1 and InR2) act as switches to determine alternative wing morphs in the BPH. This finding provides an additional layer of regulatory mechanism underlying wing polymorphism in insects in addition to juvenile hormones. Further, based on a discrete domain structure between InR1 and InR2 across insect species, we discussed the potential roles by which they might contribute to insect polymorphism. Last, we concluded with future directions of disentangling the insulin signalling pathway in the BPH, which serves as an ideal model for studying wing developmental plasticity in insects. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Evo-devo in the genomics era, and the origins of morphological diversity’.

Full text
Abstract:
Foundation revisions of four genera within the Notonectidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Nepomorpha) were reviewed to determine how the existence of previously unrecognised polymorphism of the wings or flight musculature might have led to confusion in the description of species. Specimens of the flightless morph may appear very different from flight capable ones. They are generally less pigmented and may be both smaller and less robust. In species descriptions the flightless morph can usually be readily diagnosed through the reduced pigmentation of the mesoscutellum. Flight-muscle and wing polymorphisms were found to be common in these genera. In Notonecta only one of the possible flying or flightless morphs was described in 51 of 60 species (85%), in Anisops in 64 of 80 species (80%), in Buenoa 26 of 35 species (74%), and in Enithares 11 of 33 species (33%). A greater recognition of the existence of flight polymorphism in this family can lead to more robust species descriptions and selection of type specimens. Within the four genera considered here alternative morphs are yet to be described in many species.

Abstract:
In this review article the invasive potential of wing dimorphic and polymorphic insects is discussed by presenting two case studies and overviewing the general knowledge of the dispersal abilities of these insects. Flying morphs of the wing dimorphic rice planthoppers Nilaparvata lugens and Sogatella furcifera continuously re-invade the rice fields in Japan and Northern China, where subsequent generations of dimorphic populations build up, causing several economic damages. The rapid range expansion of the wing dimorphic bush cricket Metrioptera roeselii in Central and Northern Europe in the 2000s was documented and extensively studied. These case studies are analysed, and the general relation of wing dimorphism and polymorphism and invasive potential is briefly discussed using the extensive knowledge on the wing dimorphism and polymorphism present in different insect orders.

Full text
Abstract:
Of the 83 species of Anaphothrips in the world (ThripsWiki 2018), only four are recorded in Iran so far (Alavi et al. 2018): A. microptera, A. obscurus, A. sineconus and A. sudanensis. Among these, A. sineconus was collected from Haloxylon persicum (Amaranthaceae) while the others are related to various grasses (Poaceae). Color and structural variation among and within the species of Anaphothrips have been demonstrated by several authors (Kudo, 1989, Nakao 1996, Mound & Masumoto 2009). In this paper a fifth species, A. graminum, is recorded from Iran based on specimens collected from grasses. The previously unknown micropterous morph of this species is described, as this is different in color from the macropterous morph, and in contrast to the original description the male has a pore plate on sternite VIII. The terminology used here follows Mound and Masumoto (2009). Most specimens are deposited in the Department of Plant Protection, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran (PPSU). Two females (one micropterous and one macropterous) are deposited in ANIC - the Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO, Canberra.

Abstract:
Les supergènes, des régions génétiques où des loci coadaptés sont transmis comme une seule unité mendélienne, jouent un rôle crucial dans la mise en place des polymorphismes complexes mais démêler la complexité de leur évolution et de leur maintien reste un défi de taille. Les fourmis offrent un contexte unique pour mettre en évidence de nouveau supergènes et étudier les principes généraux régissant leur mise en place et leur évolution puisqu'elles présentent de grandes variations inter et intra-espèces dans tous les aspects de leur organisation sociale et qu'un nombre inhabituellement élevé de supergènes a déjà été mis en évidence dans différentes espèces. Notamment, dans cinq lignées différentes un supergène en lien avec l'organisation sociale des colonies, c'est-à-dire le nombre de reines accouplées par colonie, a été mis en évidence. Cependant, son origine et son maintien restent à élucider clairement et de nouveaux modèles sont nécessaires. L'espèce de fourmi Myrmecina graminicola suscite un intérêt particulier pour l'étude des supergènes chez les insectes sociaux puisqu'elle présente à la fois un polymorphisme social (présence de colonies monogynes et de colonies polygynes) et un polymorphisme alaire (présences de reines ailées et de reines aptères).Dans cette thèse, nous avons exploré la présence de supergènes chez M. graminicola, en lien notamment avec ces deux polymorphismes. Dans le premier chapitre, à l'aide de données de reséquençage, nous avons mis en évidence la présence d'un supergène lié au polymorphisme social (~10 Mb) daté de ~1 Ma en déséquilibre de liaison avec un supergène lié au polymorphisme alaire (~110 kb) apparu plus récemment (~ 0,4 Ma). Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous avons étudié les liens entre les traits d'histoire de vie des deux principaux types de colonies retrouvés dans cette espèce, à savoir les colonies monogynes avec des reines ailées et les colonies polygynes avec des reines aptères. Nous avons montré que ces deux types de colonies ne différaient pas quant au nombre d'ouvrières et de larves au moment de l'échantillonnage. Une fois élevées en laboratoire, nous avons observé que ces deux types de colonies produisaient un nombre similaire de nymphes et d'adultes mais que les colonies polygynes produisaient plus d'œufs et de nouvelles larves que les colonies monogynes. Dans le troisième chapitre, nous avons exploré la possibilité qu'il existe dans cette espèce d'autres supergènes non liés directement à la socialité ou à la présence/absence d'ailes. Nous avons identifié un troisième supergène (~7 Mb) et démontré qu'il n'était pas associé au sex ratio des colonies. Dans l'ensemble, cette thèse révèle la présence de trois supergènes chez la fourmi M. graminicola, dont un lié au polymorphisme social, un autre au polymorphisme alaire, et propose des pistes sur les mécanismes contribuant au maintien de ces polymorphismes
Supergenes, genetic regions where coadapted loci are inherited as a single Mendelian unit, play a crucial role in establishing complex polymorphisms. However, unraveling the complexity of their evolution and maintenance remains a significant challenge. Ants offer a unique context to identify new supergenes and study the general principles governing their establishment and evolution due to their extensive inter- and intra-species variations in all aspects of social organization. Notably, in five different lineages, a supergene related to colony social organization, specifically the number of mated queens per colony, has been identified. However, its origin and maintenance remain to be clearly elucidated, and new models are needed. The ant species Myrmecina graminicola is of particular interest for studying supergenes in social insects as it exhibits both social polymorphism (presence of monogynous and polygynous colonies) and wing polymorphism (presence of winged and apterous queens).In this thesis, we explored the presence of supergenes in M. graminicola, particularly in relation to these two polymorphisms. In the first chapter, using resequencing data, we identified a supergene associated with social polymorphism (~10 Mb) dating back to ~1 Mya, in linkage disequilibrium with a supergene linked to wing polymorphism (~110 kb) that appeared more recently (~0.4 Mya). In the second chapter, we examined the life history traits of the two main types of colonies found in this species, namely monogynous colonies with winged queens and polygynous colonies with apterous queens. We showed that these two colony types did not differ in the number of workers and larvae at the time of sampling. When reared in the laboratory, we observed that both types of colonies produced a similar number of nymphs and adults but that polygynous colonies produced more eggs and new larvae than monogynous colonies. In the third chapter, we explored the possibility of other supergenes in this species not directly linked to sociality or wing presence/absence. I identified a third supergene (~7 Mb) and demonstrated that it was not associated with colony sex ratio. Overall, this thesis reveals the presence of three supergenes in the ant M. graminicola, one linked to social polymorphism, another to wing polymorphism, and provides insights into the mechanisms contributing to the maintenance of these polymorphisms

Full text
Abstract:
Papilio dardanus displays female-limited polymorphic mimicry of multiple model species. Butterfly wing shape is species-specific and can influence mimetic signaling, but has not been characterized in this species. We used elliptical fourier analysis to investigate whether mimetic P. dardanus female forms have converged on the wing shape of their respective models. Although both models and mimics varied in forewing and hind wing shape, we found no evidence of forewing shape convergence between them. Overall, forewings did not differ in shape between sexes in P. dardanus, nor in four non-mimetic Papilio used for comparison. Similarly, there were no hind wing differences between the sexes in the four non-mimetic Papilio. However, P. dardanus hind wings varied significantly between mimetic females and non-mimetic individuals suggesting that, in addition to wing color pattern, the evolution of mimicry has led to changes in hind wing shape in P. dardanus.

Abstract:
Life history traits affect the timing and pattern of maturation, reproduction, and survival during an organism’s lifecycle and are the major components influencing Darwinian fitness. Co-evolved patterns of these traits are known as life history strategies (LHS) and variation occurs between individuals, populations, and species. The polymorphisms underlying LHS are important targets of natural selection, yet the underlying genes and physiological mechanisms remain largely unknown. Mapping the genetic basis of a LHS and subsequently unraveling the associated physiological mechanisms is a challenging task, as complex phenotypes are often polygenic. However, in several systems discrete LHS are maintained within the population and are inherited as a single locus with pleiotropic effects. These systems provide a promising starting point for investigation into LHS mechanisms and this thesis focuses on one such strategy - the Alba polymorphism in Colias butterflies. Alba is inherited as a single autosomal locus, expressed only in females, and simultaneously affects development rate, reproductive potential, and wing color. Alba females are white, while the alternative morph is yellow/orange. About 28 of 90 species exhibit polymorphic females, though whether the Alba mechanism and associated tradeoffs are conserved across the genus remains to be determined. In this thesis I primarily focus on the species Colias croceus and integrate results from lipidomics, transcriptomics, microscopy, and genomics to gain insights to the proximate mechanisms underlying Alba and Alba’s evolution within the genus. Lipidomics confirm that, consistent with findings in New World species, C. croceus Alba females have larger abdominal lipid stores than orange, an advantage which is temperature dependent and arises primarily due to mobilized lipids. Gene expression data suggests differences in resource allocation, with Alba females investing in reproduction rather than wing color, consistent with previous findings in other Colias species. Additionally, I identify a morphological basis for Alba’s white wing color. Alba females from C. croceus, an Old World species, and Colias eurytheme, a New World species both exhibit a significant reduction in pigment granules, the structures within the wing scale that contain pigment. This is a trait that seems to be unique to Colias as other white Pierid butterflies have an abundance of pigment granules, similar to orange females. I also map the genetic basis of Alba to a single genomic region containing an Alba specific, Jockey-like transposable element insertion. Interestingly this transposable element​ is located downstream of BarH-1, a gene known to affect pigment granule formation in Drosophila. Finally, I construct a phylogeny using a global distribution of 20 Colias species to facilitate investigations of Alba’s evolution within the genus.

At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 2: Manuscript. Paper 3: Manuscript. Paper 4: Manuscript.

Abstract:
O objetivo deste trabalho foi elucidar aspectos morfológicos, ecológicos e comportamentais dos percevejos castanhos. Foram realizados estudos de levantamento populacional, dimorfismo sexual, polimorfismo alar e comunicação sonora com diferentes espécies de Scaptocoris. O levantamento populacional e a distribuição vertical no solo foi realizado com S. carvalhoi. As ninfas foram predominantes durante todo o período, não sendo influenciadas pela precipitação média mensal. O número de adultos foi dependente das chuvas, ocorrendo uma maior incidência destes com o incremento da precipitação. Ninfas e adultos mantiveram-se nas camadas mais superficiais do solo no período chuvoso e aprofundaram-se nos períodos de deficiência hídrica. Os adultos foram menos tolerantes ao estresse hídrico e aprofundaram-se logo no início da época seca, enquanto as ninfas o fizeram somente no final desse período. No estudo de dimorfismo sexual, as genitálias externas de machos e fêmeas de S. carvalhoi, S. buckupi e S. castanea foram extraídas e analisadas. As fêmeas se diferenciaram dos machos por apresentarem placas genitais. Nas fêmeas de S. carvalhoi o laterotergito 8 é dividido em duas partes, ao invés da placa única que forma a genitália de S. castanea e S. buckupi. Nos machos, a genitália é formada pelo 9º segmento abdominal da qual se projetam o 10º segmento abdominal e os parâmeros, sendo esta característica semelhante nas três espécies. No estudo de polimorfismo alar foram mensurados o comprimento do corpo, escutelo, asas anteriores e posteriores, comprimento da membrana, e distância entre a inserção da asa e o ápice do abdome em S. carvalhoi. Uma análise de agrupamento demonstrou a existência de dimorfismo alar, serparando-os em indivíduos de asas curtas (braquípteros) e longas (macrópteros). Nos braquípteros as asas não recobriram os últimos tergitos e nos macrópteros elas ultrapassaram o ápice do abdome. As razões entre o comprimento do corpo e das asas anteriores (RAC) e posteriores (RPC), foram superiores a 0,8 e 0,6, respectivamente, para os indivíduos macrópteros. Os braquípteros predominaram no solo durante todo o ano, apresentando menor mobilidade e asas não são funcionais. Os macrópteros ocorreram, principalmente, no início das chuvas e após um longo período seco, apresentando maior mobilidade e reação de vôo em 67% dos casos. A maior freqüência de macrópteros na camada mais superficial do solo (até 20 cm), coincidiu com a época de revoada nestes insetos e os adultos coletados após a revoada foram todos macrópteros, demonstrando a importância destes indivíduos na dispersão para novas áreas. O estudo da morfologia do aparato estridulatório localizado nos abdomes e asas posteriores de S. carvalhoi e S. castanea apresentou diferenças entre os sexos e espécies. O registro dos sons produzidos por estas estruturas e a sua dispersão através do substrato (solo e planta), confirmou que machos e fêmeas de cada espécie produzem sons distintos, e que a propagação deste som no solo ocorre somente a curtas distâncias.
The objective of this study was to elucidate morphological, ecological and behavioral aspects of the burrowing bugs (Scaptocoris). Population dynamic studies, sexual dimorphism, wing polymorphism, and acoustic communication were investigated on different species of Scaptocoris. Studies on population dynamics and vertical distribution in the soil were carried out with S. carvalhoi. Nymphs occurred during the entire length of the study, and their abundance was not influenced by monthly rainfall. Adult population augmented with the increase of rainfall. Nymphs and adults were located in the top layer of the soil during the rainy season and they were found deeper in the soil during droughts. Adults were less tolerant to droughts than nymphs. External male and female genitalia of S. carvalhoi, S. buckupi and S. castanea were extracted for sexual dimorphism studies. Females differed from males by presenting genital plates. Females of S. carvalhoi have the laterotergite 8 separated in two parts, differently from S. castanea e S. buckupi that have only one plate. Male genitalia present the 10th abdominal segment and paramers linked to the 9th segment. This characteristic is similar among the three species. The wing polymorphism was compared by measuring body length, scutellum, anterior and posterior wings, membrane length and distance from the point of insertion of the wing to the apical part of the abdomen of S. carvalhoi. Cluster analysis allowed the identification of two groups based on the wing dimorphism. It was possible to classify each group, according to wing length as brachypterous (short wings) and macropterous (long wings). Wings of brachypterous specimens do not cover the last tergites and the wings of macropterous surpass the apical part of the abdomen. The ratio of the body length and anterior wings (RAC) e posterior wings (RPC) was greater than 0.8 and 0.6, respectively, for macropterous specimens. Brachypterous insects were more prevalent on the soil than macropterous. They were less active and their wings were not functional. Macropterous stinkbugs occurred predominantly during the onset of the rainfall and after long droughts. They were more active flying in 67% of the times when touched. The higher frequency of macropterous stinkbugs in the top soil layer (first 20 cm), occurred during swarm when they were the only group of adult stinkbugs collected, demonstrating their importance on dispersion to new areas. Morphological differences of the stridulatory apparatus, located at the abdomen near the posterior wings, were detected for S. carvalhoi and S. castanea and also between males and females. The sounds produced by these insects and its propagation across the substrate (soil and plant) varied between species and sexes. The sounds propagate only within short distances.

Abstract:
Ecology of Veliidae and Mesoveliidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) was studied in selected European species. The research of these non-gerrid semiaquatic bugs was especially focused on voltinism, overwintering with physiological consequences and wing polymorphism with dispersal pattern. Hypotheses based on data from field surveys were tested by laboratory, mesocosm and field experiments. New data on life history traits and their ecophysiological consequences are discussed in seven original research papers (four published journal papers, two submitted papers and one communication in conference proceedings), creating core of this thesis.

Full text
Abstract:
Wing polymorphism of semiaquatic bugs is affected by environmental factors as temperature, photoperiod, population density or permanency of habitat. The heritability has its own specific part, too. A lot of field studies suggest that crucial effect on wing polymorphism has temperature, but laboratory experiments often do not confirm this hypothesis. The main aim of this thesis was to describe the effect of environmental factors (photoperiod, temperature and permanency of habitat) on wing polymorphism of Microvelia reticulata, additionally of Gerris lacustris. The partial tasks included description of effect of mentioned abiotic factors on mortality and rate of development. The individuals of both species were kept at combinations of two levels of temperature, photoperiod and permanency of habitat (overall at eight treatments) from first larval instar to adult. All adults of Microvelia reticulata emerged as apterous, so there was no response of wing polymorphism to tested environmental factors. The main influence of heritability is presumable. Only ten individuals of G. lacustris developed into the adult stage, so it was impossible to describe the influence of abiotic factors on wing polymorphism, mortality and lenght of development in this species. Mortality of individuals of M. reticulata was significantly influenced by the type of substrate. Only 3.5% of individuals survived when reared on wet filter paper, while 80.5% on the water surface. Both other factors (temperature, photoperiod) had no effect on total mortality. There was no difference between mortality of males and females, so it is impossible to note sexual dependent mortality. The lenght of development did not differ between sexes either. Lenght of development was significantly affected by temperature, as low temperature reduces development of M. reticulata. The fastest development showed nymphs of second instar and slowest development nymphs of fifth instar at all treatments. Since the effect of abiotic factors on wing polymorphism was not found in M. reticulata, it would be sufficient to study the effect of heritability on development of wings in this species in the future.

Abstract:
Abstract The integration of ecological and evolutionary processes into a common framework has been a long-standing goal in population biology, to which E. B. Ford’s pioneering studies on the European checkerspot Euphydryas aurinia made distinct contributions (Ford and Ford 1930, Ford 1975). Subsequently, Sheppard and Ford’s work (Sheppard 1953, 1956, Ford and Sheppard 1969) on the factors controlling the medionigra wing pattern polymorphism in the scarlet tiger moth, Panaxia dominula, was central to the development of ecological genetics, in which theory, field observations, and experimentation were combined to analyze the genetics of natural populations. This integration has also been one of the key themes in our own research on Euphydryas editha and Melitaea cinxia. Merging ecological and evolutionary studies with their dissimilar perspectives and techniques is necessary for several reasons. In the first place, the key demographic parameters, including variation in reproductive success and migration, are studied much more effectively through a combination of direct observation and genetic marker analysis than with just one approach alone (Avise 1994). Additionally, a mechanistic understanding of variation in individual behavior and fitness that underlies population-level phenomena must include the interaction of ecological and genetic factors.

Abstract:
Abstract In the previous chapter I discussed behavioral and life-history variation in migration unaccompanied by distinct and overt changes in morphology or physiology. In this chapter I shall discuss those instances in which overt changes do occur, concentrat ing on phenotypic expression of differences. The analysis of genotypic variation will be covered fully in the next chapter. The first of the overt changes covered concerns those species in which the morphological capability for migration is retained only for the migratory period, often with remobilization of energy and materials to enhance reproduction when migration ceases. This is commonly observed in insects; species in several families and orders histolyze the wing muscles during sedentary periods and divert the breakdown products into egg production (Nair and Prabhu 1985). In most cases this breakdown is irreversible, but in some insects the muscles can be regenerated (Bhakthan et al. 1971). The process of terminating migratory capability is carried to its logical end point in ants, termites, some crickets, and some aphids, all of which shed their wings after completing migratory flights, usually in company with wing muscle histolysis. A vertebrate parallel to insect flight muscle breakdown is the degeneration of the swimming muscles of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchusspp.) as energy and protein are diverted to mate and breeding site acquisition and gamete production at the end of the upstream migratory journey.

Abstract:
Identification of butterflies heavily relies on body colour, wing patterns and venation, and structure of male and female genitalia. However, it gets challenging in species which exhibit polymorphism, polyphenism, cryptic colourations, seasonal morphs, sexual dimorphism and other variations. This limits accurate representation of butterfly diversity. The advent of nuclear and mitochondrial molecular markers has not only facilitated identification of species, but has also made it more precise and rapid by resolving confusing features of species. Besides the identification of species, these markers have opened new vistas in the identification of higher taxa, understanding speciation, and comparison of allopatric and sympatric populations. One of the markers, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, often referred to as COI, is a universal marker of significance across butterfly taxa. It is used alone or in unison with other mitochondrial and nuclear markers for taxonomic and population studies. The Barcode of Life database (BOLD Systems) represents an appreciable number of animal taxa, including butterflies, based on the COI marker. Though molecular markers also have their limitations, they have definitely strengthened taxonomy and conferred stability to nomenclature vis-à-vis classification.
