Abstract:A major question in evolutionary biology is what drives the diversification of lineages. Rapid, recent radiations are ideal systems for addressing how new species arise because they may preserve key morphological and ecological adaptations associated with speciation.MelinaeaandMechanitisare two classic examples of rapidly radiating Neotropical butterfly genera of the tribe Ithomiini. They were models for early studies of Amazonian biogeography and colour pattern mimicry and have been proposed as biodiversity i… Show more
