Based on a global compilation of data on ant associates of 523 Lycaenidae species, a synthesis is attempted as to which ants participate in these interactions. Ants from 63 genera have thus far been observed as visitors of facultative myrmecophiles or as hosts of obligate myrmecophiles among the Lycaenidae. Over 98% of records come from nectarivorous and trophobiotic ants in just three subfamilies, viz. Formicinae, Myrmicinae and Dolichoderinae, with the genera Crematogaster and Camponotus occupying the top ranks. Accumulation analysis suggests that rather few ant genera remain to be added to the list of associates. The representation of ant genera as attendants of lycaenid immatures is related to their global species richness, but with some notable exceptions. Ants that form ecologically dominant, large, long-lived colonies are over-represented as hosts of obligate myrmecophiles. The taxonomic diversity of lycaenid-ant associations is highest in the Oriental and Australian region, and lowest in the Neotropical and Afrotropical region. Among tropical African lycaenids, this is due to two butterfly lineages (genus Lepidochrysops and subfamily Aphnaeinae) that have massively radiated in the Neogene, but mostly maintaining their general affiliations with either Camponotus or Crematogaster ants, respectively. Many tropical and subtropical lycaenids nowadays form associations also with invasive alien tramp ants, giving rise to novel mutualistic interactions.

Ants often tend and protect the larvae of various myrmecophilous lycaenid species, which influences the fitness of butterflies by altering their growth and developmental time. Tending produces diverse effects depending on lycaenid sex and the lycaenid/ant species combination. Effects are widely variable, especially in facultatively myrmecophilous lycaenids such as Plebejus argyrognomon praeterinsularis, because they are associated with several ant species and can survive without any ant tending. We studied the effects of ant tending on the adult body mass and larval developmental time of P. argyrognomon praeterinsularis. Female larvae grew significantly heavier as adults when tended by Camponotus japonicus rather than by either Lasius japonicus or no ant species. Ant tending did not affect the body mass of adult males or the developmental time of either male or female larvae. Thus, tending by C. japonicus could increase the fitness of P. argyrognomon praeterinsularis by increasing the mass of females without prolonging the duration of vulnerable immature stages, because larger females generally lay more eggs. This means that even facultatively myrmecophilous lycaenids might gain fitness benefits from particular ant species, which could be important in the conservation and management of at-risk species of facultatively myrmecophilous lycaenids.

Numerous butterfly species in the family Lycaenidae maintain myrmecophilous associations with trophobiotic ants, but only a minority of ant-associated butterflies are parasites of ants.Camponotus,Crematogaster,Myrmica, andOecophyllaare the most frequently parasitized ant genera. The distribution of ant-parasitic representatives of the Lycaenidae suggests that onlyCamponotusandCrematogasterhave multiply been invaded as hosts by different independent butterfly lineages. A general linear model reveals that the number of associated nonparasitic lycaenid butterfly species is the single best predictor of the frequency of parasitic interactions to occur within an ant genus. Neither species richness of invaded ant genera nor their ecological prevalence or geographical distribution contributed significantly to that model. Some large and dominant ant genera, which comprise important visitors of ant-mutualistic lycaenids, have no (Formica,Dolichoderus) or very few ant-parasitic butterflies (Lasius,Polyrhachis) associated with them.

The role of specialization in diversification can be explored along two geological axes in the butterfly family Lycaenidae. In addition to variation in host-plant specialization normally exhibited by butterflies, the caterpillars of most Lycaenidae have symbioses with ants ranging from no interactions through to obligate and specific associations, increasing niche dimensionality in ant-associated taxa. Based on mitochondrial sequences from 8282 specimens from 967 species and 249 genera, we show that the degree of ecological specialization of lycaenid species is positively correlated with genetic divergence, haplotype diversity and an increase in isolation by distance. Nucleotide substitution rate is higher in carnivorous than phytophagous lycaenids. The effects documented here for both micro- and macroevolutionary processes could result from increased spatial segregation as a consequence of reduced connectivity in specialists, niche-based divergence or a combination of both. They could also provide an explanation for the extraordinary diversity of the Lycaenidae and, more generally, for diversity in groups of organisms with similar multi-dimensional ecological specialization.

The pattern of butterfly abundance, their diversity with abiotic (temperature, humidity, rainfall, photoperiod) and biotic (plants) factors were studied in the Butterfly Research Park (BRP) at Bhawal National Park, Gazipur, Bangladesh. Total 2393 individuals per day comprising 44 species under 32 genera belonging to the families Danaidae, Nymphalidae, Pieridae, Papilionidae, Lycaenidae, Hesperiidae and Satyridae were recorded from January to December, 2012. The butterflies were more abundant in the months of May, November, December; and least abundant in August and September respectively. Danaidae showed a highest abundance over the other families. Hesperiidae and Pieridae were very common; Nymphalidae and Papilionidae were common; and Lycaenidae and Satyridae were few in number respectively. Papilionids, Pierids and Nymphalids were found highest in May and June. Danaids, Satyrids and Hesperiids were peak in November and Lycaenids in April. Danaids and Papilionids were lowest in August; Hesperiids and Satyrids in March; Nymphalids, Pierids and Lycaenids were in September, October and December respectively.Bangladesh J.

A field investigation was carried out from January 2015 to December 2017 to study the status of some lycaenid butterflies in some selected forest areas of Bangladesh. A total of 6,724 lycaenids was recorded from Butterfly Research Park at Bhawal National Park, Gazipur; Madhupur National Park, Tangail; Satchori National Park and Rema-Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary of Habigonj. The dominant species was Arhopala pseudocentaurus with 21.85% relative frequency and the least abundant species was Rathinda amor with 0.75% relative frequency. Butterfly Research Park showed the maximum number of butterfly individuals with a covariance of 40% followed by Madhupur National Park (37%), Rema-Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary (13%), and Satchori National Park (10%). A significant difference (F = 3.52, p-value = 0.02) has been assessed using „One-way ANOVA‟ test. The difference in the availability of butterflies in different habitats indicated the differences in plant diversity among the forests. Lycaenid butterflies displayed highest abundance (13.19%) in December and lowest (5.38%) in October. There was no significant difference (F = 0.72, p-value = 0.71) among different months throughout the study period in overall species abundance though highest number was recorded in December. The abiotic factors (viz. temperature and relative humidity etc.) influence the presence of butterflies. Lycaenid butterflies demonstrated the highest abundance (887) in 26.9°C along with 64% relative humidity whereas the least abundance (362) has been recorded at 31.7°C with 77% relative humidity. The significant negative correlation was found in between lycaenid abundance and temperature (r = ─ 0.45, pvalue = 0.14), and between lycaenid abundance and relative humidity (r = ─ 0.19, p-value = 0.54). The butterfly population increased with decreasing average temperature and relative humidity during the study period. This investigation reveals the differences in the availability of lycaenid butterflies in relation to the differences in plant population and also the effect of abiotic factors in the forest areas.

Phylogenetic relationships among major clades of butterflies and skippers have long been controversial, with no general consensus even today. Such lack of resolution is a substantial impediment to using the otherwise well studied butterflies as a model group in biology. Here we report the results of a combined analysis of DNA sequences from three genes and a morphological data matrix for 57 taxa (3258 characters, 1290 parsimony informative) representing all major lineages from the three putative butterfly super-families (Hedyloidea, Hesperioidea and Papilionoidea), plus out-groups representing other ditrysian Lepidoptera families. Recently, the utility of morphological data as a source of phylogenetic evidence has been debated. We present the first well supported phylogenetic hypothesis for the butterflies and skippers based on a total-evidence analysis of both traditional morphological characters and new molecular characters from three gene regions ( COI , EF-1α and wingless ). All four data partitions show substantial hidden support for the deeper nodes, which emerges only in a combined analysis in which the addition of morphological data plays a crucial role. With the exception of Nymphalidae, the traditionally recognized families are found to be strongly supported monophyletic clades with the following relationships: (Hesperiidae+(Papilionidae+(Pieridae+(Nymphalidae+(Lycaenidae+Riodinidae))))). Nymphalidae is recovered as a monophyletic clade but this clade does not have strong support. Lycaenidae and Riodinidae are sister groups with strong support and we suggest that the latter be given family rank. The position of Pieridae as the sister taxon to nymphalids, lycaenids and riodinids is supported by morphology and the EF-1α data but conflicted by the COI and wingless data. Hedylidae are more likely to be related to butterflies and skippers than geometrid moths and appear to be the sister group to Papilionoidea+Hesperioidea.

The butterfly family Lycaenidae (including the Riodinidae) contains an estimated 30% of all butterfly species and exhibits a diverse array of life history strategies. The early stages of most lycaenids associate with ants to varying degrees, ranging from casual facultative coexistence through to obligate association where the long-term survival of the butterfly is dependent on the presence of its attendant ants. Attendant ants guard the butterflies against predators and parasites during their vulnerable period of larval growth and pupation. The caterpillars, in return, reward the ants by providing attractive secretions from specialized glands in their cuticle. The prevalence of caterpillar-ant associations in the species rich Lycaenidae is in contrast with other Lepidoptera, where ant association appears only as isolated cases in otherwise non ant-associated lineages. This has led to the proposal that ant association may have influenced lycaenid diversification or even enhanced the rates of speciation in the group. In contrast, facultative ant-associated butterflies exhibit high levels of host plant integrity, so it is reasonable to assume that host plants may have played a significant role in their diversification. Since the influence of ants (or plants) on diversification is independent of geographic speciation modes such as vicariance or peripheral isolates, there is an underlying inference of sympatric speciation. Certain prerequisites thought to be important for sympatric speciation, such as mating on the host plant (or in the presence of the appropriate ant) as well as ant dependent oviposition preferences are characteristic of many obligate myrmecophiles. Not surprisingly, it has been suggested that evidence for sympatric speciation is more likely to be found in the Insecta since this additional mode of diversification could account for the large numbers of insect species. This thesis tested the diversification processes in obligate and facultative ant associated lycaenids using comparative methodologies in hierarchical molecular phylogenetic analyses. First, several hypotheses relating to the influence of ants on diversification in obligately ant associated lycaenid butterflies were tested in a phylogeographic analysis of the Australian endemic Jalmenus evagoras. The phylogeographic analysis revealed that regional isolation of butterfly subpopulations coincident with locally adapted ant taxa could generate a phylogenetic pattern in which related lycaenids would be seen to associate with related or ecologically similar ants. Likewise, ecological shifts in habitat preferences by lycaenids could lead to co-diversification with habitat specialist ants, even though in both cases, the ants may play only an incidental role in the diversification process. A comparative methodology was then applied in a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the genus Jalmenus to test for a signal of diversification consistent with shifts in ant partners, and to infer the processes by which ants could influence speciation. Several other specific hypotheses relating to monophyly and taxonomy were also examined. Comparative analysis of the Jalmenus phylogeny found that attendant ant shifts coincided with high levels of sympatry among sister species. This pattern could be explained by sympatric speciation; however, data suggested it was more likely that ant shifts occurred during butterfly population expansions as a result of vegetation and climate changes in the Pleistocene. Fragmentation of populations associating with novel ants could promote rapid ecological and behavioural changes and this could result in reproductive isolation of conspecifics when in secondary contact. Diversification would then continue in sympatry. In contrast, secondary contact of populations associating with the same ant species would result in homogenisation of the two lycaenid lineages or the extinction of one. A phylogeographic analysis of the facultative myrmecophiles, Theclinesthes albocincta/T. hesperia, was then undertaken to infer the evolutionary processes (such as the effects of host plant shifts) that could result in extant demographics. Species-specific questions of taxonomy, relative population ages and dispersal routes in arid Australia were also addressed. Results from the analysis suggested the two taxa were conspecific and had diversified in the late Pleistocene as a consequence of isolation in refugia in and around the arid areas of mainland Australia. However, as was the case in the J. evagoras population analysis in which attendant ant shifts were not detected, host plant shifts were not detected in the population analysis of T. albocincta/hesperia. Host plant or attendant ant shifts manifest more frequently at the species level, thus it was necessary to test the influence of host plant shifts at this higher level. The comparative methodology was then applied to a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the facultative ant-associated section Theclinesthes (comprising Theclinesthes, Sahulana and Neolucia) to test for modes of diversification consistent with host plant shifts. The relative importance of other influences on diversification was also assessed. Akin to the Jalmenus analysis, the prediction that sister species ranges should broadly overlap when a shift in host plants had taken place was upheld in the comparative analysis. Species in the genera Jalmenus and Theclinesthes were found to have diversified in the Pleistocene so were subject to the same climatic oscillations that influenced patterns of vegetation expansion and contraction across much of Australia. Thus, the similarity and predictability of relationships in the comparative analyses based on biological data suggested that host plant shifts have influenced diversification in facultative myrmecophiles by inhibiting gene flow in secondary contact in similar fashion to that of attendant ant shifts identified in the Jalmenus phylogeny. Interpretation of data in these analyses suggested that allopatric diversification was the most common mode of speciation. Isolation was inferred to be the result of fragmentation following long distance dispersal across wide expanses of marginal habitat, or vicariance following the closing of biogeographical barriers. However, attendant-ant and host-plant shifts clearly played an important role in the diversification process, and in the maintenance of species integrity among lycaenid butterflies. Furthermore, exceptions to the predicted patterns of range overlap and ecological shifts provided clues to additional modes of diversification including shifts in habitat preferences and an unusual temporal shift following changes in specific host plant phenology resulting in allochronic diversification. Inferring modes of diversification using comparative methods based on range overlap and biological traits in a phylogenetic context is not new; however, the interpretation presented in this thesis is in contrast with contemporary methods. It is clear that the patterns of species range overlap and the ecological preferences of sister taxa are intimately related among lycaenid species that diversified during the Pleistocene. As a result, different influences on diversification can be highlighted in phylogenies when applying existing comparative methodologies but without necessarily drawing the same conclusions about modes of diversification. A more inclusive explanation for patterns of range overlap among sister taxa is detailed, a consequence of which is a method for estimating rates of extinction in a phylogeny where comprehensive distributional, biological and taxonomic data are available. These patterns and predictions may be applicable to a range of taxa, especially those that have diversified in the Pleistocene. Plans for future studies are outlined.

Components of host plant affiliation for two, small, blue butterflies were examined and compared. The two butterflies, Glaucopsyche lygdamus and Plebijus icariodes (Lycaenidae), are superficially quite similar but differ in host range. Oviposition preferences were determined for each butterfly species by following individual butterflies in the field and recording butterfly behavior, host plant availability and host plant characteristics. Where preferences for one host species or one plant part over another were found, potential explanations were pursued by assessing and comparing larval performance on those plant species and parts in question. Larval performances were measured in terms of survival, growth, and ant attendance in the field, and survival, growth, and pupal mass in the laboratory. All foods were also analyzed for alkaloid content, and larvae were raised on plants known to differ in alkaloid content. Individuals of both butterfly species preferred to oviposit on those host species with which they had had recent experience; nevertheless, individual butterflies of both species frequently oviposited on multiple host species during the course of a single follow bout. For G. lygdamus the availability of flower buds was critical for ovipositing adults and feeding larvae. Flower buds of any one host species were unpredictable, however, and G. lygdamus consequently utilized different host species at different times. This observation predicted a positive relationship between butterfly population density and host species diversity. This prediction was tested and supported by two large-scale surveys of hostplant patches. P. icariodes differed from G. lygdamus in that both ovipositing adults and feeding larvae preferred old leaves to flower buds. The two species also differed in diapause stage, growth rates and reaction to alkaloids. Results predicted a relationship between diapause stage, oviposition site on the plant, and host range. The prediction was tested and upheld by a general survey of temperate lycaenid butterflies. The relationship was significant even when phylogenetic relationships were included in the analysis, and diapause stage was suggested as the characteristic evolutionarily most constrained.

Of the four most diverse insect orders, the Lepidoptera contain remarkably few predatory and/or parasitic taxa, and while species with carnivorous life histories have evolved independently numerous times in moths and butterflies, this has rarely led to diversification. As a rule, aphytophagous taxa seem prone to extinction. In this dissertation, I explore the ecological and evolutionary consequences of entomophagy in the butterfly family Lycaenidae using several approaches: natural history observation, phylogenetics, population genetics and stable isotope chemistry.
A striking exception to the lack of radiation and persistence in aphytophagous lineages is the lycaenid subfamily Miletinae, which with 13 genera and 190 species is among the largest and most diverse groups of aphytophagous Lepidoptera. Most miletines eat Hemiptera, although some consume ant brood or are fed by trophallaxis from their host ant. I inferred the higher-level phylogeny of this group using data from one mitochondrial and six nuclear genes sampled from representatives of all genera and nearly half the described species. Biogeographic analyses indicate that Miletinae likely diverged from an African ancestor near the start of the Eocene, and four lineages dispersed between Africa and Asia. Phylogenetic constraint in prey selection is apparent at two levels: related miletine species are more likely to feed on related Hemiptera and are also more likely to associate with closely related ants species, either directly by eating the ants, or indirectly by eating hemipteran prey attended by those ants.
I then examined the influence of diet on the population structure of lycaenid butterflies, and more specifically, I investigated whether particular feeding habits are correlated with traits that might make species vulnerable to extinction. To do this, I compared the phylogeography and population genetics of two endemic lycaenid species of roughly similar age from southern Africa: Chrysoritis chrysaor, whose caterpillars are strictly herbivorous, and Thestor protumnus, whose cuckoo-like caterpillars survive by soliciting regurgitations from their host ants. I sampled both species from populations throughout their entire known ranges, and found that in contrast to C. chrysaor, T. protumnus has exceedingly small effective population sizes and individuals disperse poorly. With its aphytophagous life history, T. protumnus exhibits a high degree of host dependence and specialization. Although these results are correlative and based on only a single comparison, it seems likely that small population sizes and extreme ecological specialization make populations of T. protumnus more susceptible to disturbance and prone to extinction.
Having focused in detail on the population biology of just one species, I then analysed the evolution of Thestor as a whole. This genus is exceptional because all of its 27 described species are thought to be entomophagous, and all are thought to be predators or parasites of a single species of ant, Anoplolepis custodiens. Using representatives sampled from all known species and populations of Thestor as well as 15 outgroup species, I inferred the phylogeny of the genus in two ways: first by using characters from mitochondrial and nuclear genes, and second by analyzing genome-wide SNPs generated for each species using double digest RADseq. I also sequenced the ants associated with each of these taxa using ddRADseq. This investigtion showed that all 24 of the species in the Western Cape utilize Anoplolepis custodiens, while T. protumnusand T. dryburghi (the two species that are found in the north-western part of South Africa) use a closely related, but different species of Anoplolepis, and T. basutus (the species found in the eastern part of South Africa) utilizes yet a third species. Thus factors driving diversity in the genus Thestor may have initially involved ant associations and/or geographic isolation, but other forces are likely to be responsible for generating and maintaining the more recent diversity in the group. Flight time may have separated the “black” and “yellow” groups of Thestor: the black group fly predominantly in the summer months, while the yellow group fly predominantly in the spring. And while species spread across the genus fly in the spring and summer months, only members of the yellow group fly during the winter and fall months. Despite these broad scale differences, species in the genus Thestor show little evidence of niche partitioning, especially those in the Western Cape, and represent an extreme example of the coexistence of 24 species apparently utilizing a single food resource.
While working on the previous three projects, I was surprised by the number of species of South African Lycaenidae with incomplete life histories despite decades of work by avid lepidopterists in the region. For example, in the genus Thestor, although all 27 species are assumed to be aphytophagous, partial life histories have been described for only four species. In part the paucity of data is due to the difficult terrain occupied by these butterflies, and the fact that those whose caterpillars associate with ants often spend significant portions of their lives hidden in ant nests in crevices of rock that are intractable for excavation and observation. To deepen our understanding of South African lycaenid life histories, I used nitrogen and carbon stable isotopic methods to survey a large number of species and their potential food sources. With these methods, I confirmed some known or suspected life histories and showed that in any one area, a species can have a highly variable diet. I also discovered that some of the nitrogen stable isotope values are much higher than expected for land animals, implying longer than average food chains and/or extreme environmental conditions.
Together, these studies shed light on how carnivorous life histories affect the evolution of lycaenid butterflies, and help to explain why entomophagous lineages appear to be an evolutionary “dead end” in contrast to their herbivorous counterparts.Biology, Organismic and Evolutionary

This study investigated spatial genetic structuring of two groups of Australian Ogyris butterflies (Lycaenidae). Ogyris represents one of several Australian endemic butterfly radiations that is well characterised in terms of basic biology but lacking in data useful for discriminating among the potential factors promoting divergence and speciation. A phylogeographic approach was used to document structuring in mitochondrial DNA markers (mtDNA) across the geographic range of two groups of closely related taxa. These include a pair of sister species: Ogyris zosine and O. genoveva, and the polytypic species O. amaryllis which is comprised of four subspecies. Topological relationships among recognised taxonomic units were tested and polyphyletic patterns investigated as a potential source of information relating to divergence and speciation.
Sister species Ogyris zosine and O. genoveva were found to exhibit a polyphyletic relationship based on mtDNA. The deepest divergence within the group separated allopatric populations of O. zosine in northern Australia which do not correspond to a recognised taxonomic entity. The distribution of O. zosine and O. genoveva is parapatric along the east coast and additional sampling in this area along with evidence from allozyme markers revealed that the polyphyletic pattern can be explained by past mtDNA introgression at the current contact zone. The two species engage in an obligate mutualistic association with different suites of Camponotus ant species. It is hypothesised that this association may be involved in maintaining differentiation between the taxa through ant-mediated selection against hybrids. The distribution of a blue/purple wing colour polymorphism in female O. zosine is consistent with the role of wing colour as a prezygotic isolating mechanism in the contact zone although other explanations cannot be excluded.
Genetic relationships were examined among four nominal taxa of the polytypic species Ogyris amaryllis which have a combined distribution spanning most of mainland Australia. Mitochondrial sequence data recovered a putatively ancestral and polyphyletic inland subspecies with several peripheral subspecies showing reduced variation within this topology. Analysis of spatiotemporal patterns of variation for the inland subspecies indicated a recurrent history of restricted gene flow and range expansion through the Pleistocene, while peripheral subspecies are characterised by higher levels of population structure and a history of population fragmentation. High levels of variation and population differentiation observed for allozyme markers were not consistent with subspecies boundaries. Partitioning of allozyme variation was explained better by arranging populations according to their larval host plant. Genetic data, combined with information on distribution and ecology, are consistent with a pattern of peripheral isolation associated with host plant specialisation of coastal populations in the O. amaryllis complex.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Borboletas neotropicais, como os licenídeos, são conhecidas pela notável diversidade, entretanto aspectos ecológicos fundamentais desse grupo taxonômico, particularmente dos imaturos, como informações sobre suas plantas hospedeiras e interações mirmecófilas são praticamente desconhecidos para a maioria das comunidades neotropicais. Além do que, o conhecimento limitado da história natural desses insetos, impede uma melhor compreensão do seu papel ecológico-evolutivo. Com isso, a presente tese teve como objetivo inicial caracterizar a comunidade de imaturos de licenídeos florívoros em uma área de cerrado descrevendo o padrão de sazonalidade, identificando as plantas hospedeiras, a amplitude de dieta e interações com formigas e inimigos naturais. A partir dessa base de informações, o objetivo seguinte foi avaliar a ocorrência de licenídeos florívoros no cerrado de acordo com fatores ligados à disponibilidade de alimento nas plantas e à presença de formigas. Adicionalmente, foram estudados diferentes sistemas de interação licenídeos-plantas-formigas com o intuito de inferir o papel da formiga sobre a seleção de plantas hospedeiras. Em suma, nosso estudo mostrou uma comunidade composta por 31 espécies de Lycaenidae registradas em 41 espécies (17 famílias) de plantas hospedeiras e caracterizada pela marcante sazonalidade, cuja ocorrência de imaturos foi maior durante a estação seca. De forma geral, a comunidade de licenídeos apresentou variação de acordo com a oferta temporal de alimento, acompanhando a fenologia de suas plantas hospedeiras disponíveis no campo. Contudo, a comunidade estudada aqui, formada por licenídeos oligófagos e polífagos teve uma tendência em utilizar plantas com menor quantidade de botões e também selecionar plantas que possuem nectários extraflorais e plantas ocupadas por formigas. Particularmente, nosso estudo revelou que a seleção de plantas hospedeiras mediadas por formigas pode variar de acordo com o sistema estudo. Licenídeos como Allosmaitia strophius e Rekoa marius utilizaram a xi presença de formigas como pista durante a seleção de plantas Heteropterys byrsonimifolia, porém os ovos presentes em ramos com formigas sofreram maior ação de parasitóides. Enquanto que Leptotes cassius mostrou selecionar inflorescências de Bionia coriacea independente da presença de Camponotus, formigas as quais mantém associações facultativas.The Lycaenidae butterflies are known for their remarkable diversity in the Neotropics; however basic ecological features of this group, especially of the immature stages, such as information about host plants and ant-interactions (myrmecophily) are barely known for most species. Therefore the limited knowledge of lycaenids natural history restrains a better understanding of important ecological-evolutionary aspects. In this thesis we initially characterized the community of florivorous lycaenids in a Brazilian Savanna area, describing the seasonal occurrence of immatures, identifying host plants, the diet breadth and interactions with ants and natural enemies. Then, we evaluated the occurrence of the lycaenids according to factors related to resource availability (host plants) and the presence/absence of ants. In summary, we sampled 31 species of Lycaenidae in 41 plant species (17 families). Immatures were more abundant in the dry season indicating a seasonal pattern of occurrence; in addition lycaenids were related to the temporal availability of food resource, following the phenology of the host plants in the field. The oligophagous and polyphagous species were found predominately in plants which produce few flowers buds. The presence of immatures in extrafloral nectaried plants was commonplace, which was expected given that larvae can benefit from living with ants. A further detailed experimental study revealed that ant presence is a cue for female oviposition in two facultative myrmecophilous lycaenid species Allosmaitia strophius and Rekoa marius, but contrary to our predictions, ants failed to protect lycaenid eggs from parasitoids. In other study system, Leptotes cassius did not discriminate between plants with or without ants, despite the fact that larvae had stable association with ants. Our study indicates that there can be striking differences among lycaenid species with regard to association with ants and the benefits granted from these associations. So generalizations about lycaenid ant associations should be avoided and every study system must be examined with detail.

A criação de seções em Eumaeini contribuiu significativamente para a classificação de uma tribo ainda com tantos problemas taxonômicos. No entanto, estudos ainda devem ser realizados no intuito de esclarecer relações filogenéticas entre gêneros e espécies das seções, além de reconstruir a história evolutiva de caracteres biologicamente relevantes (p. ex. órgãos sexuais secundários), fornecendo assim subsídios para a compreensão dos processos de especiação que contribuem para a diversidade do grupo. Dessa forma, o principal objetivo do presente trabalho é estabelecer uma classificação mais estável para seção Atlides, inferindo relações filogenéticas entre os gêneros e espécies da seção. Como desdobramentos desse objetivo, pode-se: testar o monofiletismo do gênero Theritas Hübner, com base em caracteres morfológicos; propor grupos monofiléticos dentro de Theritas, para posterior revisão das espécies; descrever nova espécie listada como sp. #128 na checklist do Atlas of Neotropical Lepidoptera; e fornecer subsídios pra o entendimento da evolução dos caracteres sexuais secundários encontrados na seção Atlides. Foram levantados 82 caracteres morfológicos: dois de cabeça, 65 de asas, dois de tórax, um de abdômen (externo), oito de genitália masculina e quatro de genitália feminina. As relações filogenéticas foram estudadas de acordo com o método cladístico. Testes assumindo pesos iguais e diferentes dos caracteres foram realizados. A pesagem dos caracteres seguiu o método de pesagem implícita com constante de concavidade (k) com valores iguais a 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 25, 50, 250 e 1000. Foram resultadas três árvores mais parcimoniosas no estudo com pesagem uniforme de caracteres (L=296, Ci= 50, Ri= 78). Como resultado do estudo cladístico tem-se que a seção Atlides não constitui um grupo monofilético da forma como havia sido proposta; o gênero Theritas Hübner não constitui um grupo monofilético, sendo desmembrado em três gêneros: Theritas Hübner, 1818 (sensu stricto), Denivia Johnson, 1992, revalidado e Margaritheclus Bálint, 2002, revalidado. A espécie listada como sp. #128 pertence à Denivia Johnson e foi descrita como Denivia silma Martins & Robbins, espécie nova. São propostas três novas combinações, uma em Margaritheclus Bálint e duas em Denivia Johnson, além de um sinônimo novo em Theritas Hübner. Os órgãos sexuais secundários mostraram-se homoplásticos, tendo a regulação gênica como uma explicação plausível para o padrão evolutivo apresentado.The establishment of sections in Eumaeini contributed significantly to the classification of this tribe, which still has many taxonomic problems. However, many studies have yet to be performed, aiming to understand phylogenetic relationships of genera and species, and to reconstruct the evolutionary history of biologically relevant characters (ex. secondary sexual organs), providing supports for understanding speciation processes that contribute to the diversity of the group. Thus, the main objective of the present study is to establish a more stable classification for the Atlides section. As consequences of this objective, it was possible to test the monophyly of the genus Theritas Hübner, based on morphological characters; proposing monophyletic groups within Theritas, for further review of the species; describing a new species listed as sp. # 128 in checklist of the Atlas of Neotropical Lepidoptera; and providing guide lines for understanding the evolution of secondary sexual characters found in the Atlides section. A total of 82 morphological characters were collected: two from head, 65 from wings, two from thorax, one from external abdomen, eight from male genitalia and four from female genitalia. Phylogenetic relationships were studied according to the cladistic method. Tests assuming equal and different characters\' weights were performed. The characters\' weights were established using the implicit weighting method with values of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 25, 50, 250 and 1000 for the constant of concavity (k). Three most parsimonious trees were obtained with equal characters weights analyses (L=296, Ci= 50, Ri= 78). Cladistics results showed that Atlides section does not constitute a monophyletic group as it had been proposed; Theritas Hübner, 1818 does not constitute a monophyletic group and it has being dismembered into three genera: Theritas Hübner, 1818 (sensu stricto), Denivia Johnson, 1992, revalidated and Margaritheclus Bálint, 2002, revalidated. The new species listed as sp. # 128 belongs to Denivia Johnson and it was described as Denivia silma Martins & Robbins, new species. It was proposed three new combinations, one in Margaritheclus Bálint and two in Denivia Johnson, and one new synonym in Theritas Hübner. The secondary sexual organs proved to be homoplastic, with gene regulation as a plausible explanation for the evolutionary pattern presented.

There where evaluated the changes in abundance of overall metapopulations and abundace of butterflies on surveyed areas occupied by Phengaris nausithous (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae). It ran on two long-term monitored locations in the Czech Republic : Slavíkovy ostrovy u Přelouče a Dolní Labe u Děčína. Data for this comparison was obtained by longterm monitoring of the abundance of butterflies on these locations. The method of reverse capture of labeled specimens was used and then statisticall processing of marking results in program MARK. In final number of the target species has been found significant fluctuation , after our evaluation. Abudance of total metapopulation in Přelouč in years from 2004 till 2016is variable from 148 up to 1 369 butterflies, numbers in Děčín between 2008 and 2016 has vacillated from 273 to 1952 individuals. Growth of abudance of metapopulation on these two locations are obvious from crossing both diagrams (in years 2006, 2010-11 and 2014-2015). However, observing time-lime is not so long, this is very strong argument to support this hypothesis: ,,From aged time sequence there is noticable graduation periodicity. Than has been compared progression of population of individual locations compare to metapopulation of both locations together and it has discovered this observation is a real picture of aged progress. Most of places of research copying trend of metapopulation. If there are any differences, for example total metapopulation grows, but population of individual location declines, it could be explain as a change of familiar location related on mamagement, in this case on the wrong one. Contrariwise, rising of individual colony against the trend of metapopulation, mostly shows a positive changes in maintenance of site. Long therm researching is highly recommented for rating of impact of management.
