Figure 1.
Phylogenetic hypothesis and species richness of Canadian Noctuoidea.
Number of species known from Canada for five noctuoid families, as well as the family-level phylogeny [64].
Table 1.
Summary of barcode coverage for Canadian noctuoid species including the source of specimens, Nearest-Neighbour distances, and the percentage of species in each family identifiable with barcodes.
Figure 2.
Impact of genus size on DNA barcode performance.
The relationship between the number of species in a genus (plotted on a log2 scale) and the incidence of barcode sharing. Values above the bars indicate the number of genera and the number of species in each log2 category.
Figure 3.
Low sequence divergence in Lasionycta.
Maximum likelihood tree (COI barcode) for Lasionycta demonstrating very low sequence divergences and cases of overlapping or shared haplotypes. Terminals with vertical bars indicate one or few samples shared identical haplotype, those with trianglesrepresenting collapsed haplotypes with less than 2% sequence divergence. Geographic origin is given in brackets as standard abbreviations for provinces (Canada) or states (USA); FIN = Finland.
Table 2.
Twelve Canadian noctuoids with deep (>2%) intraspecific barcode variation that also show morphological divergence between their barcode clusters.
Figure 4.
Impact of host plant type on NN distances.
Nearest-Neighbour (NN) distances for species of Canadian noctuoids using four food plant categories: 1) monocots or herbaceous dicots, 2) trees or shrubs, 3) detritus, fungi and lichens, and 4) generalist. Values above the bars indicate the number of species in each food plant category (n), average of NN/standard errors (SE).
