Dataset from: Rapid radiation of ant parasitic butterflies during the Miocene aridification of Africa
<p>Africa has undergone a progressive aridification during the last 20 My that presumably impacted organisms and fostered the evolution of life history adaptations. We test the hypothesis that shift to living in ant nests and feeding on ant brood by larvae of phyto-predaceous <em>Lepidochrysops</em> butterflies was an adaptive response to the aridification of Africa that facilitated the subsequent radiation of butterflies in this genus. Using anchored hybrid enrichment we constructed a time-calibrated phylogeny for <em>Lepidochrysops</em> and its closest, non-parasitic relatives in the<em> Euchrysops </em>section (Poloyommatini). We estimated ancestral areas across the phylogeny with process-based biogeographical models and diversification rates relying on time-variable and clade-heterogeneous birth-death models.<strong> </strong>The <em>Euchrysops </em>section originated with the emerging Miombo woodlands about 22 million years ago (Mya), and spread to drier biomes as they became available in the late Miocene. The diversification of the non-parasitic lineages decreased as aridification intensified around 10 Mya, culminating in diversity decline. In contrast, the diversification of the phyto-predaceous <em>Lepidochrysops</em> lineage proceeded rapidly from about 6.5 Mya when this unusual life history likely first evolved.<strong> </strong>The Miombo woodlands were the cradle for diversification of the <em>Euchrysops</em> section, and our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that aridification during the Miocene selected for a phyto-predaceous life history in species of <em>Lepidochrysops</em>, with ant nests likely providing caterpillars a safe refuge from fire and a source of food when vegetation was scarce.</p>

Change in relative abundance of the second generation (third flight peak) of peacock butterflies in Flanders (northern Belgium) since 1950.
<p>To investigate historical changes, we calculate for each year with sufficient data the proportional abundance of the third flight peak since 1950 for Flanders (northern part of Belgium) (1950–2008: 26,933 records; 2009–2020: 319,684 records).</p>
Records of reproduction of peacock butterflies in Belgium 2009–2020
<p>We show the number of records of reproductive stages (eggs, caterpillars, pupae) per week of the peacock butterfly in Belgium collected during 2009-2020 by citizen scientists on the online wildlife data portal https://observation.org</p>
Phenology of wing wear of peacock butterflies in Belgium 2009–2020
<p>We derived voltinism from wing wear. We classified the condition of wear of the upperwings in 12,425 butterflies according to four categories: (1) immaculate: fresh, or with at most one tiny scratch on the upper wings or one minor dent to the wing edges, (2) slightly worn: some scratches on the upper wing and/or small dents to the edges, (3) moderately worn: many scratches to the upper wing and/or dented edges, and (4) heavily worn: (parts with) colors faded and/or heavily dented edges. The categories were chosen to allow the distinction of recently emerged individuals in particular: there is “more wear” between categories 3 and 4 than between the first two. Persistent wear and abrasions with multiple impacts at several spots was given more weight in the classification than a single major incident that resulted in larger parts of the wing missing. Pictures were randomly sorted before being classified by a volunteer (JVK), who worked from a series of reference examples. </p>
Scoring of wing wear of peacock butterflies in belgium 2009-2020. Link to original pictures and classification
<p>We show per record the assigned classification of the wear. We classified the condition of wear of the upperwings in 12,425 butterflies according to four categories: (1) immaculate: fresh, or with at most one tiny scratch on the upper wings or one minor dent to the wing edges, (2) slightly worn: some scratches on the upper wing and/or small dents to the edges, (3) moderately worn: many scratches to the upper wing and/or dented edges, and (4) heavily worn: (parts with) colors faded and/or heavily dented edges. The categories were chosen to allow the distinction of recently emerged individuals in particular: there is “more wear” between categories 3 and 4 than between the first two. Persistent wear and abrasions with multiple impacts at several spots was given more weight in the classification than a single major incident that resulted in larger parts of the wing missing. Pictures were randomly sorted before being classified by Jos Van Kerckhoven, who worked from a series of reference examples.</p>
