Dans la région de l'Afrique orientale et centrale, le papillon aposématique D. chrysippus se caractérise par une écologie inhabituelle, en raison de la co-occurrence du polymorphisme, du mimétisme et de la distorsion du sex-ratio. Dans cet article, nous décrivons une étude menée pour D. chrysippus à Khartoum, basée sur des investigations morphologiques

AbstractIn macroevolution, the Red Queen (RQ) model posits that biodiversity dynamics depend mainly on species-intrinsic biotic factors such as interactions among species or life-history traits, while the Court Jester (CJ) model states that extrinsic environmental abiotic factors have a stronger role.

Hybrid queen butterflies from the cross Danaus chrysippus (L.) × D. gilippus (Cramer):confirmation of species status for the parents and further support for Haldane's Rule [PDF]
A cross between queen butterflies of the Palaeotropical species Danaus chrysippus and the Neotropical D. gilippus was achieved with difficulty in both directions. Only one progeny (N = 70) was reared comprising sterile males and inviable females in a precisely 1 : 1 ratio. Both prezygotic and postzygotic barriers to gene flow are strong.
