All,
To begin, I don=E2=80=99t assume that everyone in this audience has the sam= e intense interest in butterfly systematics that I do. However, it is plain= how important it is to Todd Stout, Harry Pavulaan & Steve Kohler, all enga= ged in preparing regional treatments. Further, Mike Fisher, Jim Brock and K= en Davenport have long been familiar with issues of butterfly systematics a= s they prepared their work.
Me? I catalogue it all and have a commitment to it=E2=80=99s users. As resu= lt, I am familiar with what has transpired and amazed at what is upon us cu= rrently. Apparently, no matter how elusive a definitive systematic arrangem= ent of butterflies may be, it can be attained. Perhaps I will witness it!
It may be useful to detail how past taxonomic changes have taken place. It = gives me pleasure to document one example reflecting the hard work of one o= f our own - Todd Stout- and the reticence of this cataloguer to make BIG ch= anges without profound support.
In 1986 Geiger & Shapiro published a paper giving electrophoretic evidence = supporting Anthocharis sara, A.stella and A.julia as =E2=80=9Cdifferentiate= d at the species level.=E2=80=9D
As I recall, this was discussed but not acted upon until Layberry et al tre= ated all Canadian populations as A.stella in 1998. A year later, Opler doub= led down, adding a twist, treating A. thoosa as a distinct species as well.
These publications created difficulties as I prepared the catalogue but I h= ad a friend (TS) who had published a paper in 2005 treating A.sara and A.st= ella as distinct species in a rearing study. We talked and he said (somethi= ng like): JP...I=E2=80=99m crazy for orange-tips and I=E2=80=99m going to f= igure this one out - but I haven=E2=80=99t yet.=E2=80=9D
I deferred from accepting the split in 2008. I eagerly awaited Todd=E2=80= =99s paper...which arrived in 2018 and I am gratified that Opler et al, 202= 2 supported Todd=E2=80=99s conclusions
This took 22 years but I am not citing this as any sort of standard! It is = only an example.
