Taxonomic data, brain, and neuropil volume measurements of Ithomiini butterflies, Orellana Province, Ecuador, 2011-2012
This dataset presents taxonomic data, and neuropil volume measurements of sensory structures in the brains of wild caught ithomiini butterflies (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Danainae), within a single community in Yasuní national park, Orellana Province, Ecuador, collected in 2011-2012. Variables measured include taxonomic detail, sex, mimicry ring, and the volumes of major sensory neuropils (the medulla, lobula plate, lobula, ventral lobula, accessory medulla, antennal lobe and anterior optic tubercule) and the central brain volume. This dataset was created to examine how sensory environments shape investment in sensory brain centers in butterflies, as part of a NERC Independent Research Fellowship NE/N014936/1.

- Statement
-
Samples were collected over two field seasons in 2011/12 in Yasuní National Park, Ecuador, fixed in situ and returned to the UK. Fixed samples were then stained with Anti-SYNORF as a primary antibody, cy2 as a secondary antibody, and imaged using confocal microscopy. The resulting images, which highlight boundaries between brain regions, were then segmented using AMIRA software to quantify neuropil volumes. Please see supporting documentation for further detail.
