“…We developed TaxonomR to provide additional objectivity to the field of taxonomy, particularly for weighting and comparing competing higher-level taxonomic classifications (e.g. Zhang et al, 2019;Condamine et al, 2023). For example, expected clade age and prior usage + morphology supported recognition of all species in a single genus (Argynnis), while the threegenus arrangement of De Moya et al (2017) was only slightly favoured when monophyly, branch length and node support were emphasized.…”

“…On the one hand, personal taxonomic expertise may require years of time commitment to develop, with the delimitation and ranking of named groups becoming an exercise where a taxon is whatever a taxonomist says it is. On the other hand, many argue for more objective criteria to be used in taxonomic revisions (Mayr and Ashlock, 1991; Vences et al., 2013; Condamine et al., 2023) and may even advocate for focussed reliance on single criteria like clade age (Zhang et al., 2019). Into this fray, we present TaxonomR, an interactive, web‐hosted decision support tool to evaluate and quantify alternative taxonomic arrangements.…”

Informative and consistent taxonomy above the species level is essential to communication about evolution, biodiversity and conservation, and yet the practice of taxonomy is considered opaque and subjective by non‐taxonomist scientists and the public alike. While various proposals have tried to make the basis for the ranking and inclusiveness of taxa more transparent and objective, widespread adoption of these ideas has lagged. Here, we present TaxonomR, an interactive online decision‐support tool to evaluate alternative taxonomic classifications. This tool implements an approach that quantifies the criteria commonly used in taxonomic treatments and allows the user to interactively manipulate weightings for different criteria to compare scores for taxonomic groupings under those weights. We use the butterfly taxon Argynnis to demonstrate how different weightings applied to common taxonomic criteria result in fundamentally different genus‐level classifications that are predominantly used in different continents and geographic regions. These differences are objectively compared and quantified using TaxonomR to evaluate the kinds of criteria that have been emphasized in earlier classifications, and the nature of the support for current alternative taxonomic arrangements. The main role of TaxonomR is to make taxonomic decisions transparent via an explicit prioritization scheme. TaxonomR is not a prescriptive application. Rather, it aims to be a tool for facilitating our understanding of alternative taxonomic classifications that can, in turn, potentially support global harmony in biodiversity assessments through evidence‐based discussion and community‐wide resolution of historically entrenched taxonomic tensions.

“…Despite these drawbacks, most current studies of biogeographic evolution rely on the ancestral-area algorithms and do not examine the details of distribution or even map the recovered clades (e.g. for butterflies, Kodandaramaiah et al, 2018;Toussaint et al, 2019Toussaint et al, , 2021aToussaint et al, , 2021bChazot et al, 2021;Condamine et al, 2023;Krupitsky et al, 2021;Matos-Marav ı et al, 2021;Usami et al, 2021;Zhao et al, 2022). Instead, the distributions are analysed with respect to a small number of large, a priori regions, the small number being imposed by computational limits.…”

The butterfly subtribe Coenonymphina (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) comprises four main clades found, respectively, in (1) the Solomon Islands, (2) Australasia, (3) NW South America and (4) Laurasia, with a phylogeny: 1 (2 (3 + 4)). In assessing biogeographic evolution in the group we rejected the conversion of fossil-calibrated clade ages to likely maximum clade ages by the imposition of arbitrary priors. Instead, we used biogeographic-tectonic calibration, with fossil-calibrated ages accepted as minima. Previous studies have used this approach to date single nodes (phylogenetic-biogeographic breaks) in a group, but we extended the methodology to date multiple nodes. Within the Coenonymphina as a whole, 14 nodes coincide spatially with ten major tectonic events. In addition, the phylogenetic sequence of these nodes conforms to the chronological sequence of the tectonic events, consistent with a vicariance origin of the clades. Dating of the spatially coincident tectonic features provides a timescale for the vicariance events. The tectonic events are: pre-drift intracontinental rifting between India and Australia (150 Ma); seafloor spreading at the margins of the growing Pacific plate, and between North and South America (140 Ma); magmatism flare-up along the SW Pacific Whitsunday Volcanic Province-Median Batholith (130 Ma); a change from extension in the Clarence basin, eastern Australia, to uplift of the Great Dividing Range (114 Ma); Pamir Mountains uplift, foreland basin dynamics and high eustatic sea-levels leading to marine transgression of the proto-Paratethys Ocean eastward to Central Asia and Xinjiang (100 Ma); predrift rifting and seafloor spreading west of New Caledonia (100-50 Ma); sinistral strike-slip displacement along the proto-Alpine fault, New Zealand (100-80 Ma); thrust faulting in the Longmen Shan and foreland basin dynamics around the Sichuan Basin (85 Ma); pre-drift rifting in the Coral Sea basin (85 Ma); and dextral displacement on the Alpine fault (20 Ma).

“…A number of analyses using allozymes, mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) found P. multicaudata to be basal to the P. glaucus group phylongeny (Hagen & Scriber 1991, Caterino & Sperling 1998, Zakharov et al 2004, Vernygora et al 2022, Condamine et al 2023). Given its basal position to the group's phylongeny and the possible use of rutaceous host plants by the butterfly's ancestor (Monroe 1961, Hancock 1983, Scriber et al 1995, Mao et al 2006), information about the survival of neonates of P. multicaudata on a variety of rutaceous plants and the comparison of their survival to that of a Rutaceae specialist, Heraclides rumiko Shiraiwa & Grishin, 2014 (Papilionidae) and the other western members of the group, Papilio rutulus Lucas, 1852 and Papilio eurymedon Lucas,1852, could be useful.…”
