The D. flavopilosa group encompasses an ecologically restricted set of species strictly adapted to hosting flowers of Cestrum (Solanaceae). This group presents potential to be used as a model to the study of different questions regarding ecologically restricted species macro and microevolutionary responses, geographical vs. ecological speciation and intra and interspecific competition. This review aims to revisit and reanalyze the patterns and processes that are subjacent to the interesting ecological and evolutionary properties of these species. Biotic and abiotic niche properties of some species were reanalyzed in face of ecological niche modeling approaches in order to get some insights into their ecological evolution. A test of the potential of DNA-Barcoding provided evidences that this technology may be a way of overcoming difficulties related to cryptic species differentiation. The new focus replenishes the scenario with new questions, presenting a case where neither geographical nor ecological speciation may be as yet suggested.
黄粉蝶属包含一组生态受限的物种,它们严格适应于寄生于夜香树属(茄科)的花朵上。该类群有潜力作为一个模型,用于研究有关生态受限物种的宏观和微观进化反应、地理与生态物种形成以及种内和种间竞争等不同问题。本综述旨在重新审视和重新分析这些物种有趣的生态和进化特性背后的模式和过程。面对生态位建模方法,重新分析了一些物种的生物和非生物生态位特性,以便深入了解它们的生态进化。对DNA条形码潜力的测试提供了证据,表明该技术可能是克服与隐性物种分化相关困难的一种方法。新的关注点用新问题补充了这一情况,呈现出一个目前尚无地理或生态物种形成迹象的案例。
