The New World buckeye butterflies (genus Junonia) are a valuable experimental model organisms, but the taxonomy of this group has been problematic and contentious. I have clarified the taxonomy of the Junonia species in North America using molecular and morphological data from contemporary and museum collections, focusing on Florida, the American Southwest, and Mexico. Junonia populations in Florida have been assigned to different species and J. coenia grisea in the American Southwest has been elevated to full species status. Using this framework, I reconstructed the invasion history of the tropical buckeye (J. zonalis) into South Florida. For the species that occur in the American Southwest and Mexico, I have plotted the contemporary distributions of the five species that occur in this region. Evidence of hybridization was documented and a cryptic species pair was identified (J. coenia and J. grisea). An improved taxonomy will encourage and support further comparative biology research.

The Heliconius butterflies are one of the classic systems in evolutionary biology and have contributed hugely to our understanding of evolution over the last 150 years. Their dramatic radiation and remarkable mimicry has fascinated biologists since the days of Bates, Wallace, and Darwin. The Ecology and Evolution of Heliconius Butterflies is the first thorough and accessible treatment of the ecology, genetics, and behaviour of these butterflies, exploring how they offer remarkable insights into tropical biodiversity. The book starts by outlining some of the evolutionary questions that Heliconius research has helped to address, then moves on to an overview of the butterflies themselves and their ecology and behaviour before focussing on wing pattern evolution, and finally, speciation. Richly illustrated with 32 colour plates, this book makes the extensive scientific literature on Heliconius butterflies accessible to a wide audience of professional ecologists, evolutionary biologists, entomologists, and amateur collectors.
