 Nymphalidae Systematics Group
The relationships of major lineages in Nymphalidae have been unclear for a long period, but recent work by the NSG, Andrew Brower and André Freitas are resolving these issues based on both molecular and morphological data.
The monophyly of Nymphalidae has been the subject of debate, which was not addressed in the previous studies.
Through a collaboration with four other labs, the NSG has been able to test the monophyly of Nymphalidae with a large dataset consisting of morphological data and sequences from three genes for a sample of butterflies and skippers.

 Nymphalidae
All species of Nymphalidae are united by a single morphological character, the tricarinate ridges found on the adult butterfly's antennae.
Many groups within Nymphalidae are currently under investigation, and we have endeavored to provide current hypotheses of relationships for each group.

 Nymphalidae Systematics Group
The Nymphalidae Systematics Group studies the phylogenetic relationships of taxa in the butterfly family Nymphalidae, using mainly molecular methods.
We are interested in where, when and how the major groups of nymphalids have diverged from each other.
The Nymphalidae Systematics Group is part of the LEPSYS.eu consortium.

 Butterflies of Canada
Traditionally the family Nymphalidae as now defined has been treated as a number of families, including the satyrs (Satyridae), monarchs (Danaidae), heliconians (Heliconiidae), and snouts (Libytheidae).
More recent concepts of phylogenetic analysis and classification have resulted in these groups being treated as subfamilies of the Nymphalidae.
The forelegs of nymphalids are reduced in size, usually in both sexes (not in Libytheinae females), and covered with long hairs, so as to resemble a brush.

 Nymphalidae Phylogeny
Recent molecular and morphological work is bringing light to the question of how different species and groups of species are related to each other.
Several studies have looked at the relationships of the major lineages of Nymphalidae.
The phylogenetic relationships of all genera in Nymphalidae are still uncertain for the most part, but studies are being conducted to resolve the major issues.
