Müllerian Mimicry in Neotropical Butterflies: One Mimicry Ring to Bring Them All and in the Jungle Bind Them
Aim
Uncovering the effects of Müllerian mimetic interactions on the evolution of species niches and geographic distributions at a continental scale.
Location
Neotropics and part of Nearctic.
Time Period
19th century to present, with most data collected within the last 30 years.
Major Taxa Studied
Heliconiini (Heliconiinae) and Ithomiini (Danainae) butterfly tribes.
Methods
We leveraged a dataset of 67,563 geolocalized occurrences from fieldwork observations and museum collections to map broad-scale biodiversity patterns of heliconiine butterflies. We tested for congruences and disparities with known Ithomiini biodiversity patterns, a group from which they diverged 86.5 My ago, yet share numerous warning wing colour patterns. We used phylogenetic comparative analyses to test for both the spatial co-occurrence of species with similar aposematic wing patterns and the convergence of their climatic niche within and between tribes.
Results
Both tribes exhibit wide overlap in biodiversity hotspots across the Neotropics, including a high prevalence of rare species and mimetic patterns in the tropical Andes. Ithomiine species dominate Andean communities, while the Amazon basin hosts a higher relative richness of heliconiines. Phenotypically similar species within and between tribes share climatic niches as a result of selection favouring both co-occurrence of look-alike species and convergence of warning signals within local communities.
Main Conclusions
We documented continental-scale spatial and evolutionary associations among species sharing warning signals both within and between tribes separated by 86.5 My of independent evolutionary history. Our results provide empirical evidence for the pervasive effects of mutualistic interactions on biodiversity patterns. Critically, they also emphasise the vulnerability of mimetic communities, bound together by positive interactions, to disassembly induced by climate change.
期刊介绍：
Global Ecology and Biogeography (GEB) welcomes papers that investigate broad-scale (in space, time and/or taxonomy), general patterns in the organization of ecological systems and assemblages, and the processes that underlie them. In particular, GEB welcomes studies that use macroecological methods, comparative analyses, meta-analyses, reviews, spatial analyses and modelling to arrive at general, conceptual conclusions. Studies in GEB need not be global in spatial extent, but the conclusions and implications of the study must be relevant to ecologists and biogeographers globally, rather than being limited to local areas, or specific taxa. Similarly, GEB is not limited to spatial studies; we are equally interested in the general patterns of nature through time, among taxa (e.g., body sizes, dispersal abilities), through the course of evolution, etc. Further, GEB welcomes papers that investigate general impacts of human activities on ecological systems in accordance with the above criteria.
