Molecular Population Structure of Junonia Butterflies from French Guiana, Guadeloupe, and Martinique

Figure 4

Haplotype networks generated using wingless alleles. Circles are scaled to represent the number of individuals that contain a specific wingless allele with the exception of alleles a7 and a9 (if scaled proportionately, would be 50 and 61 times larger, resp., than shown). Colours for both (a) and (b) are as described in Figure 2. (a) Divisions and colours of circles reflect geography and species associated with each wingless allele. Allele a9 is much rarer in the Caribbean populations than it is in the mainland populations. 50% of a9 allele is comprised of J. genoveva. The majority of wingless alleles found in Argentinian Junonia are allele a9 or its derivatives. (b) Divisions and colours of circles reflect the RAF populations associated with each wingless allele. All 11 RAF populations carry the most common allele a9. Individuals from 10 of the 11 RAF populations carry the other common allele, a7.
