Abstract

ABSTRACTThe butterfly genus Pseudonympha and several related genera are endemic to southern Africa. Although many of the species are montane, some inhabit the arid interior of South Africa, offering an opportunity to study the palaeobiogeography of this biome. Morphological data (for all species of Pseudonympha and allied African and Asian genera) and molecular data (WG and COI genes for nine of the 15 species of Pseudonympha and all of the southern African endemic genera of Ypthimina) were compiled. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Pseudonympha apparently originated in the Cape Fold Mountains about 15 Mya ago and spread steadily eastwards and northwards along the Great Escarpment during the aridification of the region, perhaps assisted by orogeny in the east and oceanic cooling in the west. Aridification cycles seem to have intermittently isolated some early lineages in elevated habitats in the interior, so that those lineages show lower speciation rates (or perhaps higher extinction rates) than those in the east. Four species delineation techniques indicated that some species are taxonomically oversplit. Based on genetic polyphyly and morphological similarity, we propose that the status of P. swanepoeli be reduced to that of a subspecies of P. varii, such that all the north-eastern populations from Harrismith to Tzaneen fall under P. varii swanepoeli van Son stat. n., and all the southern populations fall under P. varii varii van Son stat. n. Ultimately, the diversification of both of these lineages seems tied to their host plants’ response to aridification brought on by continental drift and orogeny. Sympatric organisms (eg cicadas) with biologies focused around different resources (eg savanna trees) show other patterns of diversification. The phylogenetic analysis of the subtribe Ypthimina also supports the monophyly of Paternympha, paraphyly of Ypthima, recognition of Thymipa Moore stat. rev. as a phylogenetic independent genus, and new relationships for Strabena.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:C3B34CBC-4BC2-44F3-8349-9DBC82FFBBF3KEYWORDS: ButterfliesSouth Africaendemic radiationpalaeobiogeographyYpthimina AcknowledgementsWe thank David Edge, Niklas Wahlberg, Vincent Clarke, Etienne Terblanche and Andrew Morton for providing specimens, DNA sequences, and/or literature; Shelley Edwards for laboratory facilities; the late Mark Williams for permission to use his photographs in our figures; Terence Bellingan for access to the Albany Museum collection and the photographs in Figure 5; and the Rhodes University Research Committee for funding.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementThe genetic sequence data that support the findings of this study are openly available on GenBank (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/), with accession numbers OK668392–OK668431 (COI); OL311554–OL311597 and OM953781 (WG).Supplementary dataSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2023.2257373.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Rhodes University Research Committee, Rhodes University.

Wallengren假名树的历史多样性,1857(鳞翅目:蛱蝶科:蛱蝶科)
摘要蝴蝶属假名树及其相关属是非洲南部特有的植物。虽然许多物种生活在山区,但也有一些栖息在南非干旱的内陆地区,这为研究这个生物群落的古生物地理学提供了机会。对15种假名树中的9种假名树和所有非洲和亚洲特有属的WG和COI基因进行了整理。系统发育分析表明,假名树可能起源于约15亿年前的开普褶皱山脉,并在该地区干旱化过程中沿大悬崖沿东部和北部稳定地传播,这可能与东部的造山运动和西部的海洋冷却有关。干旱化循环似乎断断续续地隔离了一些位于内陆高海拔栖息地的早期谱系,因此这些谱系的物种形成率(或者可能是灭绝率)比东部的谱系低。四种划分方法表明,部分种在分类上存在过裂现象。基于遗传多聚性和形态相似性,我们建议将P. swanepoeli的地位降低为P. varii的一个亚种,从而使从Harrismith到Tzaneen的所有东北居群归入P. varii swanepoeli van Son stat. n,而所有南部居群归入P. varii van Son stat. n。这两个谱系的多样化似乎与它们的寄主植物对大陆漂移和造山运动带来的干旱化的反应有关。同域生物(如蝉)与生物集中在不同的资源(如稀树草原树木)显示出其他多样化模式。Ypthimina亚族的系统发育分析也支持了Paternympha的单系性,Ypthima的副系性,Thymipa Moore statr . rev.作为系统发育独立属的认识,以及Strabena.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:C3B34CBC-4BC2-44F3-8349-9DBC82FFBBF3KEYWORDS:的新关系感谢David Edge、Niklas Wahlberg、Vincent Clarke、Etienne Terblanche和Andrew Morton提供标本、DNA序列和/或文献;雪莱·爱德华兹负责实验室设备;已故的马克·威廉姆斯(Mark Williams)获准在我们的作品中使用他的照片;特伦斯·贝林根(Terence Bellingan)允许他参观奥尔巴尼博物馆的藏品和图5中的照片;以及罗德大学研究委员会的资助。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。数据可用性声明支持本研究结果的基因序列数据可在GenBank (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/)上公开获取,登录号为OK668392-OK668431 (COI);OL311554-OL311597和OM953781 (WG)。补充数据本文的补充数据可在https://doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2023.2257373.Additional information网站上在线获取。

期刊介绍: Journal of Natural History is an international zoological journal publishing original research and reviews in evolutionary biology and ecology. It maintains its historical niche by publishing a broad range of systematics papers on all animal phyla from Porifera to Chordata, encompassing traditional taxonomic revisions and descriptions, cladistic analyses and molecular phylogenetics and phylogenomics. The journal has recognized strengths in entomology and marine invertebrates, but also welcomes papers on the natural history of all animal species and on the interactions of species with their environment. Preference is given to in-depth papers and extensive taxonomic reviews: single species descriptions and checklists are not normally considered. Authors wishing to suggest a review paper should contact the relevant editor.
