Abstract
The present study was undertaken to evaluate genetic diversity and evolutionary
relationships among 16 Nymphalidae species belonging to 4
subfamilies viz.,
Nymphalinae Danainae, Satyrinae and Biblidinae
from regions of Amravati. The 9 RAPD markers were screened and the genetic
diversity in the form of dendrogram based on binary matrix data set was inferred.
Seven of the nine markers generated polymorphic bands, with an average of 22.14
bands per primer scoring 100% polymorphism. The
resolution of phylogenetic tree was inferred by Maximum Parsimony and Neighbor-joining
methods. The dendrogram exhibits species clustering pattern. Based on binary
data matrix the genetic diversity of the species was assessed and it has been
observed that numerous taxa exhibit inter-species sister clades that demonstrated
shared ancestry. Taxa V. cardui, E. core, and J. lemonias formed outgroup,
showing evidence of distant resemblance to other species.
