          Abstract

          RESUMEN En México se han descrito cerca de 1,900 especies de la superfamilia Papilionoidea (sensu lato), que incluye a todos los lepidópteros diurnos en el país (Llorente-Bousquets et al., 2014). Las mariposas diurnas se reconocen como un taxon ampliamente estudiado y se pueden utilizar como bioindicadoras ecológicas. Este artículo de revisión compila la información al respecto en México, identificando 58 artículos y documentos de investigación que mencionan especies indicadoras, aunque solo en 16 de ellos utilizan métodos estadísticos, en su mayoría multivariados para identificarlas como bioindicadoras ecológicas. La información de 179 especies bioindicadoras fue compilada en dos anexos, destacando las principales características que facilitan su búsqueda en campo, como tipo de vegetación, hábitos alimentarios, fenología y grado de especialización. De las 179 especies, 55 se caracterizaron para áreas conservadas, 99 en áreas con disturbio y 25 en ambas condiciones. Se anexa una lista de plantas huésped en el país para 116 especies de mariposas diurnas de las 179 identificadas, con la finalidad de facilitar su asociación con la comunidad vegetal y sus interacciones. Por último, se emiten recomendaciones para el diseño de un muestreo que permita utilizar a estas especies bioindicadoras como objeto de estudio en proyectos de monitoreo ambiental a mediano plazo.

          ABSTRACT About 1,900 species of the superfamily Papilionoidea have been described in Mexico (sensu lato), which includes all diurnal lepidoptera in the country (Llorente-Bousquets et al., 2014). Diurnal butterflies are recognized as a widely studied taxon and can be used as ecological bioindicators. This review article compiles information on this subject in Mexico, identifying 58 articles and research papers that mention indicator species, although only 16 of them use statistical methods, mostly multivariate, to identify them as ecological bioindicators. Information on 179 bioindicator butterfly’s species was compiled in annexes, highlighting the main characteristics that facilitate their research in the field, such as vegetation type, feeding habits, phenology, and specialization degree. Of the 179 bioindicator species, 55 were recorded in conserved areas, 99 in disturbed areas and 25 in both conditions, although from different studies and in different habitats. In addition, a list of host plants in the country is annexed for 116 species of the 179 identified to facilitate their association with the respective plant community and their interactions. Finally, recommendations are made for a sampling design that would allow the use of these bioindicator species as an object of study in medium-term environmental monitoring projects.

            Phylogenomics reveals the evolutionary timing and pattern of butterflies and moths

            Significance Lepidoptera play key roles in many biological systems. Butterflies are hypothesized to have evolved contemporaneously with flowering plants, and moths are thought to have gained anti-bat defenses in response to echolocating predatory bats, but these hypotheses have largely gone untested. Using a transcriptomic, dated evolutionary tree of Lepidoptera, we demonstrate that the most recent common ancestor of Lepidoptera is considerably older than previously hypothesized. The oldest moths in crown Lepidoptera were present in the Carboniferous, some 300 million years ago, and began to diversify largely in synchrony with angiosperms. We show that multiple lineages of moths independently evolved hearing organs well before the origin of bats, rejecting the hypothesis that lepidopteran hearing organs arose in response to these predators.
