Palatability of aposematic queen butterflies (Danaus gilippus) feeding onSarcostemma clausum (Asclepiadaceae) in Florida

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1991
Queen butterflies (Danaus gilippus) are generally considered unpalatable to predators because they sequester and store toxic cardenolides from their larval food plants. However, a major queen food plant in Florida, the asclepiadaceous vineSarcostemma clausum, is shown here to be a very poor cardenolide source, and queens reared on this plant contain no

Unpalatability of viceroy butterflies (Limenitis archippus) and their purported mimicry models, Florida queens (Danaus gilippus)

Oecologia, 1991
Understanding the dynamics of defensive mimicry requires accurately characterizing the comparative palatability of putative models and mimics. The Florida viceroy butterfly (Limenitis archippus floridensis) is traditionally considered a palatable Batesian mimic of the purportedly distasteful Florida queen (Danaus gilippus berenice). I re-evaluated this

Differences and similarities in cardenolide contents of queen and monarch butterflies in florida and their ecological and evolutionary implications

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1985
Florida queen butterflies are highly variable in cardenolide content and, in three populations studied, contained less cardenolide than did a sample of sympatric Florida monarchs. The possibility that queens stored a more potent set of cardenolides from their host plants (and therefore were as well protected as monarchs, even at lower concentrations ...

Revising a Classic Butterfly Mimicry Scenario: Demonstration of Mullerian Mimicry between Florida Viceroys (Limenitis archippus floridensis) and Queens (Danaus gilippus berenice)

Evolution, 1991
Batesian and Müllerian mimicry relationships differ greatly in terms of selective pressures affecting the participants; hence, accurately characterizing a mimetic interaction is a crucial prerequisite to understanding the selective milieux of model, mimic, and predator.

Evidence for Interspecific Competition in Natural Populations of the Monarch and Queen Butterflies, Danaus Plexippus and D. Gilippus Berenice in South Central Florida

Ecology, 1962
Daia us plexippus (Linne) and Danauis gilippus berenice (Cramer), the Monarch and Queen butterflies, overlap broadly in their ecological requirements (Brower 1961a). Further evidence of their similarity was indicated by comparative laboratory analyses of egg cannibalism (Brower 1961b), developmental rates, and food consumption (Brower in prep ...
