SALINAS-GUTIERREZ, José Luis; LUIS-MARTINEZ, Moisés Armando  e  MONTEAGUDO-SABATE, David. Biogeographical relationships between the tropical rainforests of Mexico from their butterfly (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) faunas. Cienc. ergo-sum [online]. 2023, vol.30, n.1, e192.  Epub 06-Set-2024. ISSN 2395-8782.  https://doi.org/10.30878/ces.v30n1a10.

The aim of this paper is to determine the biogeographical relationships between isolated areas of tropical rainforests in Mexico from their butterfly faunas. The analysis were made from the records of 676 species belonging to the families Papilionidae, Pieridae, Riodinidae, Lycaenidae and Nymphalidae in 12 geographic units in Tabasco, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Veracruz, San Luis Potosí and Campeche, through the use of parsimony and similarity algorithms. Both methods corroborated that the best studied units form a consistent group: Sierra de Juárez–Los Tuxtlas–Chajul–Huichihuayán, while Soconusco represents the most differentiated area.

Palavras-chave : Geographical distribution; biogeography; area relationships; parsimony; similarity; tropical rainforest; Papilionoidea.
