}A combination of morphological characters, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I barcodes, nuclear wingless DNA sequences, and randomly amplified DNA fingerprints from Junonia from Florida, the Caribbean, and North and South America are used to resolve issues of taxonomy and population structure in this genus.

A new A-P compartment boundary and organizer in holometabolous insect wings
This work shows an additional A-P axis of symmetry running between wing sectors 3 and 4 in Vanessa butterflies, suggesting that this additional compartment boundary and its associated developmental organizer create an axis of wing colour pattern symmetry and a gene expression-based combinatorial code, permitting each insect wing compartment to acquire a unique identity and allowing for the individuation of butterfly eyespots.
