Ithomiini mimicry classification

This repository contains the mimicry classification for ithomiine butterfly subspecies applied for the analyses presented in the research paper "Doré et al., 2021 - Anthropogenic pressures coincide with Neotropical biodiversity hotspots in a flagship butterfly group": https://doi.org/10.1111/ddi.13455. Occurrences data associated with this classification can be found in this archive: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4696055 Distribution maps built upon the occurrence data and mimicry classification are available in an other associated archive : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4673446 Scripts to reproduce these maps are available on Github at https://github.com/MaelDore/ithomiini_diversity This repository contains one folder and two files : - A folder with pictures of type-specimens of all 44 mimicry rings. Credits: Keith Willmott. - An Excel file with the mimicry classification of the 1,595 subspecies of Ithomiini butterflies and the list of type-specimens identifying each mimicry ring pattern - A PDF plate illustrating all 44 mimicry rings with type-specimens.
