Figure 1
(a) Map showing location of sampling sites for Junonia genoveva at Estero del Soldado, near Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico and at the Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) in Costa Rica. The diagonal line near Guaymas represents the northern distribution limit of black mangrove in the littoral of western North America [11]. Additional GenBank records for J. genoveva from the states of Morelos, Campeche, Quintana Roo (QR), and Yucatán in southern Mexico are also shown. The numbers of individuals from each locality are given in parentheses. Arrows show hypothesized colonization routes of J. genoveva in Mexico; (b) Google Earth satellite view of a section of Estero del Soldado and the mangrove forest lining the inner shoreline. Arrows and dashed lines show the 0.5 km route used for weekly estimations of numbers of adult J. genoveva.
